Why Ten Plagues?

2/27/2022

Exodus (pt. 7)


​Why did God need Ten Plagues?  

Indeed, God is powerful enough that he could have delivered the Israelites from the Egyptians with one plague. 

So why did He insist on Ten? 

In today's lesson, we explore this question and how it leads us towards understanding the "hardening" of Pharaoh's heart.

Exodus (pt. 6)


​In Exodus 3, Moses inquires of God about His name.  

A name in the ancient world was more than just a referent but gave indications into your essence, nature, and function. 

God gives Moses a future-oriented but vague answer.

 In this video, we explore how we can understand God's name - "I will be what I will be" - and how it can impact our walk with Christ today.

Moses - a Messiah?

2/12/2022

0 Comments

 

​Moses is a 'type' of Messiah. There are numerous 'types' throughout the Hebrew bible, including Joseph and David.
 
Moses is chosen for a specific task in God's plan of redemption. 
 
In this video, we explore attributes of Moses' character that make him uniquely suited as the redeemer and lawgiver of Israel.
 
Moses is the first redeemer, and Jesus is the final redeemer. Throughout the New Testament,  the actions of Jesus and the presentation of the Gospel by the writers reflect those of Moses.
 
The more we understand Moses and the book of Exodus, the more we will understand how the New Testament communicates about Jesus.

Pharaoh's Daughter - "Daughter of God?"

2/5/2022

0 Comments

 

Exodus (pt. 4)


Pharaoh's daughter has a remarkable place in redemptive history.

She rescued Moses – the future redeemer of Israel - from certain death and raised him as "her son" under the nose of the Pharaoh who wanted to have him killed.

 Her compassion and moral courage compelled her to disobey her father's command in the name of saving a human life.

Does God reward her for her courage and actions?

Later in the Old Testament, there is an indication that the answer is yes!
​
The Sages of Israel noted a remarkable "measure for measure" in which God provides a reciprocal blessing for her heroic actions.
