Exodus 18-20
COMMANDMENTS: HOW GOD’S PEOPLE LIVE
God prescribes how how we are to live by covenanting with Moses (who represents the people). We can be a holy nation, and a kingdom of priests, if we live as God has taught us to live.
Exodus 16-17
PROVISION: GOD PROVIDES FOR HIS PEOPLE
Learning to depend upon God to provide for us, rather than depending upon ourselves, our government, or our circumstances, leads us to greater faith.
Exodus 14-15
PROVIDENCE: GOD’S WILL FOR OUR GOOD
God does amazing things for His people, though His will is often hidden to us, God’s will is always for His glory and our good.
Exodus 11-13
REDEMPTION: GOD BRINGS LIFE THROUGH DEATH
God will use mass death in Egypt to bring life to Israel. In this way we see how God can redeem situations for His glory and our good. This essentially points us forward to the crucifixion and resurrection.
Exodus 7-10
RESTORATION
God provides rest and healing in times of hardship through submission and obedience to Him. We tend to only want to go as far as we are comfortable, but God is calling us further for our own benefit.
Exodus 5-6
OMNISCIENCE: GOD ALL-KNOWING
God, who knows all things, uses tomorrow for His glory and our good. God not only knows the future, but causes it by His power.
Exodus 3-4
OMNIPOTENCE: THE ALL POWERFUL GOD
God reveals His power throughout Scripture so that we can take our minds off of our circumstances and limitations, and so that will place our trust in Him.
Exodus 1-2
OMNIPRESENCE: THE INVISIBLE GOD ACTIVE IN OUR MIDST
God is present everywhere, always engaged and acting on behalf of the Church. Even if we can’t see or feel it, Jesus promised He is with us. [Matthew 28:20]
Isaiah 66
TRUE WORSHIP
God speaks through Isaiah one last message to all who profess faith in Jesus to repent from false worship and practice true worship. We all need this today.
Isaiah 65
Main Idea:
In the midst of a breaking and broken world, we find strength and hope in the fact that God is still saving people.
Isaiah 63
LONGING AND LAMENTING IN PRAYER
After proclaiming God’s desire for revival, Isaiah desires it deeply. Isaiah is now praying, and his words go from longing for revival, to lamenting how God’s people are not ready. Our prayers today need must become like Isaiah’s prayer.
Isaiah 62
A KING DRENCHED IN BLOOD
Isaiah proclaims the Eternal Kingdom of Jesus, calling us out of exile into a renewed Creation. The cost of bringing this Kingdom, and defeating evil on Earth, is a blood-soaked Jesus.
