Jesus Our Banner?

5/28/2022

0 Comments

 

Exodus Study (pt. 17)


​Today's lesson is part two of our previous video, "The LORD My Banner."
 
In our previous lesson, we examined the story of Moses raising his hands on a hill while the Israelites were battling against the Amalekites.  Moses builds an altar upon victory and calls it, "The LORD is My Banner." 
 
In this week's lesson, we expand the concept of the banner from Exodus through the Bible and up to Jesus.  There is a Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 11 that tells us that the Messiah will be a "banner" for the nations of the world.
 
Jesus is our banner!

The LORD My Banner

5/14/2022

Exodus Study (pt. 16)


In today's video, we look at the story from Exodus 17, where the Amalekites attack the Israelites. 

Moses goes up onto a hill with the "staff of God in his hand." When Moses' hands were up in the air, the Israelites were winning. When his hands lowered, the Israelites lost.

After winning the battle, Moses builds an altar and calls it "The LORD is my banner." 

The context for this story and Moses' comment about the "banner" comes right out of Egypt and the religious use of standards or flags.

From this point in the scripture, the concept of a "banner" moves forward up to and including Jesus.
​
Join us for part one this week and part two in two weeks as we explore the LORD as our banner!

Hearing God Speak

Exodus Study (pt. 15)


Today’s video explores the Hebrew word for wilderness – Midbar. 

If we take a step back and watch the movement of the Israelites from Egypt out to the wilderness, we see something unique.  

The Israelites move from a place of order – food, water, shelter – to a place of chaos – no water, no food, no shelter – and must become fully reliant upon God and his provisions.  

God has a purpose for bringing the Israelites out into the wilderness – it is where we learn to hear his voice. 
​
We all go through times of walking through the deserts in life, and they are never enjoyable, but we can learn to understand how they can bring us closer to God and celebrate Him even amid the chaos.

Dividing the Chaotic Waters

5/2/2022

Exodus Study (pt. 14)


This week we take a mystical view of the Red Sea crossing. 

Throughout the Bible, at moments of birth, rebirth, or transformation, we find an event that depicts the dividing of the chaotic waters.

In this video, we walk through the pattern found in scripture from Genesis 1  up to Mark 1 and Jesus' baptism.

​Ultimately, this pattern exists as part of God's created cosmos and can be applied to our own spiritual growth journey.
