Numbers 1-3 Are we listening? God spoke in Genesis to create, and it was so. God spoke in Exodus to reveal His power and to gain release the children of Israel from bondage. God spoke in Leviticus to give the Ten Commandments and the Law. God spoke in Numbers giving instructions; first, as to the […]
Lev 26-27 God desires that His people be a light among the nations. He desires that we obey Him and receive blessings, but just like an errant child who knows what they are to do and not do, sometimes God will allow discipline to correct His children. This is as true today as it was […]
Lev 23 God loved his people so much that he established memorial days that they might focus on who He is and His provision for their every need. The seven feasts all pointed to Christ, who was yet to come. When He came, he established communion or what we call the Lord’s Supper, to point […]
Lev. 17-19 “The Sacred vs the Profane” One thing we must remember as we study Leviticus is that these are the very words of God and His reminders of the “you must not and you must.” The leaders had failed in their instruction of the principles of holiness. Therefore, these are written that they and […]
Lev 13, Matt 8 “Unclean and Clean” Over the last year and a half, we have experienced the stigma of being “unclean” regarding the pandemic.

Lev. 10 After all that Moses had instructed Aaron and his sons, why did Nadab and Abihu offer strange fire? We will never know because they are not here to explain, for God took them. He didn’t take them like Enoch, but He took them, and Aaron’s nephews had to bury them. In the midst […]
Exodus 28-31 No matter where we are or what we are called to do, we need those extra hands to assist us. Some are gifted to pray, others to do manual work, others to be those silent and humble assistants behind the scenes. God had set aside Aaron in eternity past to be his priest […]
Exodus 25-27 The Architect and Designer One of the most-watched series on TV is HGTV. Many designers choose to renovate existing homes and bring them “back to life.” But, God is not like that! He is an architect and a perfect designer and starts from scratch using the materials that the children of Israel had […]
Exodus 24: There is a saying that goes like this: be ready, willing, and able. Joshua was all three. So Moses set out with Joshua, his attendant, and Moses went up the mountain of God. [Ex. 24:13] Just as God prepared a Jethro for Moses to guide him in his leadership responsibilities, so God prepared […]
Exodus 18 In the course of time after Moses has been guiding the children of the Exodus, his father-in-law arrives. He observed and “rejoiced because of all the good that the Lord had done for Israel” [Ex 18:9] In addition, he said; “now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods.” [Ex […]
