Exodus 34 concludes, “And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again…” (Exodus 34:35).

In Exodus 34, Moses again ascends Mt. Sinai with new tablets of stone, and God Himself writes on them “the words that were on the first tablets which you broke” (Exodus 34:1). God then renews the covenant with the Jewish people, proclaiming, “I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth… For it is an awesome thing that I will do with…
In today’s passage, we overhear another conversation between God and Moses as Moses intercedes on behalf of the people after their idolatrous worship of the Golden Calf. What does it mean when Moses pleads with God, “Yet now, if You will forgive their sin — but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written” (Exodus 32:32)? …
In today’s study, we witness God’s wrath as He tells Moses, still atop Mt. Sinai, of His intent to wipe out the idolatrous Israelites in the camp below who are now worshipping a golden calf of their own making. Pastor Kevin explains how this conversation between God and Moses, in which God appears to “relent” of this intent, is not an example of…
Audio link includes communion message Chapter 25 begins with God’s instructions for constructing a tabernacle as a place of fellowship with Him under the terms of the Old Covenant, which the people have promised to obey.

In Exodus 24, Moses recites and records in writing all the laws of the preceding chapters, the people promise to obey, and the nation formally enters into the Mosaic Covenant with God through animal sacrifice. “Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, ‘This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words’” (Exodus 24:8). …
This Christmas 2023, Pastor Kevin challenges us to reflect anew on the miraculous birth of Jesus, Whose virgin birth the prophet Isaiah spoke of 700 years earlier: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel (Isaiah 9:7). Thirty-three years after His birth, Jesus died to atone for the…
The end of Exodus 20 gives Commandments Five through 10, which govern our human relationships with each other. Together with the first four, which govern our human relationships with God, the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20 reveal God as holy, just, and loving and served to help establish a just and orderly society in the…
The audio file includes communion at the end. In Exodus 19, Moses resumes the chronological narrative. Now in the third month since leaving Egypt and having just defeated the Amalekites (Chapter 17), the Israelites camp “before the mountain” (Mt. Sinai) in the Wilderness of Sinai. As God prepares them to receive His Law, he instructs…
Today, we see God again command Moses to confront Pharaoh while Moses again pleads his inadequacy to do so. Moses asks God, “…and how shall Pharaoh heed me” (Exodus 6:30), and God replies, “But Pharaoh will not heed you” (Exodus 7:4). Pastor Kevin points to the parallels in the life of the prophet Jeremiah, 800 years later. In both cases, God assures his servants that He will give…
