In this episode, we're talking about that nagging feeling of not being ready or worthy to step into what God has called you to do.  I share my own journey of stepping into teaching and preaching, even when it felt completely outside my comfort zone, and how I learned to trust God in the process. We also dive into four powerful stories from the Bible (Moses, Gideon, Jeremiah, and Jesus) that prove feeling unqualified is totally normal.  If you've been holding back because you don't feel “ready,” this episode will give you the encouragement you need to take the leap! __________________________________________________________   Ready for more? Here are 3 ways we can help you: 1)

In this episode we will discuss what the Bible teaches us about how we should approach God in prayer. We will consider the following: How our life of prayer needs to be an expression of our love for God How we approach God in prayer reveals the very heart of our admiration, devotion and love to God Examples of prayers in the Bible (Moses, Daniel, David, Apostles and Psalmists) biblequestions.org

What feels so scary right now in your life? How can faith in God bring you courage? What do you need to do as a “next step” to push through the fear you hold?  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: How Faith Is the Opposite of Fear  By Sarah Frazer “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.” Hebrews 11:23 (ESV) “Have courage every single day.” The plaque my mother had gifted me sat on the windowsill right in front of my kitchen sink. I looked at it every day and sometimes a tear would slide down my cheeks into the soapy water as I washed the dishes. I didn't feel like having courage. Fear of the future and the unknown consumed my thoughts.  Going through a hard year with our family taught me many things, but one of the most powerful lessons I learned was that the opposite of fear wasn't courage, but faith. Faith is where we find the courage to keep going. When I think about my own story, which includes adoption, I also think about the story of one of the great heroes of the Bible: Moses. Moses was adopted by the pharaoh's daughter when he was a baby.  Moses is one of those men who will be always known for his amazing acts of bravery and courage. He faced the Pharaoh and miraculously led the people of Israel out of slavery from Egypt. He wrote the first five books of our Bible. Stories like the Red Sea parting, manna in the wilderness, and the Ten Commandments are accredited to Moses.  Those parts of his life, although amazing, are not what resonates these days in my heart. The part of Moses' story I see in my own story isn't about him, but his mother. The Bible says in Exodus 2:3, “When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.”  Can you imagine how she felt when she gave her baby up? I think she felt afraid, but instead of being remembered for her fear, she is remembered for her faith. Hebrews 11:23 says, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.” In Exodus 6:20 we find out that her name was Jochebed. There have been times in my life where I've prayed: “God, I don't know what you have planned for my life. This situation feels so hard, painful, and filled with grief. But I want to trust you. So I will try and trust you.”  In Exodus 2:1-10 we read her story. I can imagine, as she placed her baby in the basket, she didn't feel brave. But she put him in there. The author of Hebrews said she was not afraid of the king's command to kill all of the male children. Why? Because of her faith. Each day, she chose to keep her baby alive. She chose faith.  When we face each day, even when we feel afraid, we can step forward. One step at a time, we can take our fear by the hand and go confidently in faith. Each day, we have a choice to give in to fear or to step forward in faith. We can choose faith, too.  Maybe you are thinking that your faith is too small. You might think that the fear is too big, but it isn't about our faith at all. It is all about Who we have our faith in. The Object of our faith is God, the all-powerful, all-loving God of the universe! Jochebed knew that God was bigger than all the fears. God was bigger than the Pharaoh. God was bigger than the river. God was bigger than the uncertain future. She had faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” When Jochebed comes to the river, she doesn't cast away her son. Instead of tossing away her child-like garbage, she intentionally and deliberately surrenders him to it. The basket was prepared ahead of time, carefully constructed with tar and a tight weave. It would not leak or sink. Jochebed prepared a place for Moses to be safe. In a sense, she obeyed the king's edict as she put her son in the river. Instead of throwing him away, she gave him over to God. She surrendered her plans for herself, her son, and the future. Faith allows us to give our plans to God.  Choosing to have faith in God means we hand our fears over to God and He will meet us right there. The opposite of fear is not courage, but faith. Even a small faith placed in a big God allows us to move forward. Have confidence in the things that are “unseen,” knowing that God is very real and present in your life.  Intersecting Faith & Life: What feels so scary right now in your life? How can faith in God bring you courage? What do you need to do as a “next step” to push through the fear you hold?  Further Reading: Isaiah 41:10 Psalm 27:1 John 14:27 Deuteronomy 31:6 Psalm 56:3-4 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshippedThe story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible Moses was the prototype of the Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point Let's continue our study in Exodus Chapter 3 Verses 18-22. I also read from The Legends of the Old Testament and Book of The Gods18   the Yahweh Elohim of the Hebrews = as distinct from the gods of the Egyptianand now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness = the wilderness of Sinai and Arabia, and to Mount Horeb in it20  And I will stretch out my hand = “shâlach” “shaw-lakh'” “shin-lamed-chet” “Aleph-Tav”Shin =(two front teeth) sharp, press, eat twoLamed = lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindChet = (tent wall) outside, divide halfAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossBy Elohim stretching forth His hand with that Shepards staff, we see the sharpness of His power, dividing the bondage of the Egyptians and His people Elohim is always in controlSmite = “nâkâh” “naw-kaw'” “nun-kaph-hey) (Aleph-Tav)Nun = (seed) continue, heir, sonKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tamehey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breathAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew letter ‘nun' is a picture of a seed, whereas ‘kaph' is a picture of the palm of the hand. Combined these mean "seed in the palm". Seeds of certain plants were placed in the palm and rubbed with the thumb to a powdery spice. Therefore we have Elohim destroying the seed of Egypt21   People = “‛am” “am” “ayin-mem” “aleph-tav”Ayin = (eye) watch, know, shade (this letter is basically silent) Mem = (water) chaos, blood, mightyAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe letter ‘ayin' is a picture of the eye, the letter ‘mem' is a picture of the sea representing mass. Combined these mean "see a mass". A large group of people in one location. When you look at the several meaning of these Hebrew letters, what I find unique here is that Elohim uses chaos against the Egyptian gods, the Passover blood and the fact that He leads His people through the Nile River22  Every woman shall borrow = This is certainly not a very correct translation: the original word ‘shaal' signifies simply to ask, request, demand, require, inquire, etc.;Ye shall spoil the Egyptians = The verb ‘natsal' signifies, not only to spoil, snatch away, but also to get away, to escape, to deliver, to regain, or recover. Spoil signifies what is taken by violence; but this cannot be the meaning of the original word here, as the Israelites only asked, and the Egyptians without fear, terror, or constraint, freely gave “nun-tsade-lamed” “Aleph-tav”Nun = (seed) continue, heir, sonTsade = (trail) journey, chase, hunt, man on his sideLamed = lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossOnly by the power of Elohim, were the Israelites able to do thisHave any questions?

In today's conversation, the LAST of this season until we return in the new year, we'll conclude our study of the Exodus Era of the Bible with our final look at this generation of Israelites as they stand at the edge of the promised land. We'll identify the process which took them so off-course of God's best plan for their lives, and then we'll take that lens of scrutiny and flip it around to take a good look at ourselves. We'll discover that the choice to advance into what God has for us is just that—a choice—and we'll face the sobering reality of what we forfeit when we allow fear to direct that choice. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation. 

In today's conversation, we'll begin wrapping up our study of the Exodus Era of the Bible with the infamous story of the golden calf as we rejoin the Israelites at the foot of Mount Sinai. We'll continue to discover why biblical authors, for centuries, referred to this generation of Israelites as stubborn, rebellious, and hard-hearted, and why God himself described them as “stiff-necked.” We'll be inspired by the heart and leadership of Moses in this story, and we'll be challenged to become the kind of servant-hearted leader God has called us all to be. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

Today's episode is a continuation of our last one, where we are taking a magnifying glass to the Ten Commandments in order to demystify and clarify them for the eyes of our modern understanding. Last time we got through #7, so today we are picking back up with Commandment #8 and wrapping up all ten! We'll realize that the moral requirements for the people of God did not change between the Testaments and that they are still just as relevant today as they were then. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

Moses' desire to rescue his people led him to a hasty decision to kill an Egyptian. God later called him to lead the people out of Egypt.

Today's episode is a continuation of our last one, where we are taking a magnifying glass to the Ten Commandments in order to demystify and clarify them for the eyes of our modern understanding. Last time we got through the first four, so today we are picking back up with Commandment #6. We'll realize that the moral requirements for the people of God did not change between the Testaments and that they are still just as relevant today as they were then. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to pick back up with Moses and the Israelites as they hear from God at Mount Sinai. We'll take a magnifying glass to the Ten Commandments in order to demystify and clarify them for the eyes of our modern understanding. We'll be forced to take a good look at our own hearts and actions, and we'll come to realize that these moral standards of living can only be perfected through a relationship with Jesus Christ and the power of sanctification which comes through knowing Him. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to set out once again with Moses and the Israelites as they continue their journey through the wilderness and arrive at Mount Sinai, the Mountain of God. We'll notice that the wilderness is always a place where God speaks to his people, and we'll stand in awe, with the Israelites, as God reveals himself on that mountain. We'll discuss the necessity of consecration—then and now—and we'll realize that the moral requirements for the people of God did not change between the Testaments. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

4 of 5 Americans believe God has a purpose for their life. But fewer and fewer of us are actually discovering that purpose. As a result – more of us are depressed, distressed and disillusioned than ever before! That's why this weekend at The Journey we are going to continue YOU ASKED FOR IT by exploring one of the biggest questions people at our church have by looking at the life of a guy from the Old Testament of the Bible – Moses. Through Moses you'll discover how to position yourself to be used by God and find the significance and purpose you've been longing for. How Can I Be Used By God?

In today's conversation, we're going to rejoin the Israelites as they leave the Red Sea and begin their journey into the wilderness. We're going to start to understand why they are eventually described by God as a “stiff-necked people,” and we'll discover our own tendencies toward the sin that mirrors theirs. We'll see how God tests our trust—again and again and again if he has to. And we'll continue to see the thread of grace woven throughout the entirety of God's story, ultimately fulfilled through Jesus. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we'll continue on with our journey through the Exodus era of the Bible as we follow Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt and through the Red Sea. We'll discuss the importance of trusting what we know about the character of God when we read things in the Bible that are difficult to understand. We'll talk about the intentionality of God to take us on the route He knows we're ready for—and the route which keeps us moving forward. We'll be challenged to confront our responses to fear, and we'll concede that sometimes we just have to be quiet and let God fight for us. We'll watch God part the famous waters of the Sea, and we'll continue to see how God's plan unfolds throughout every era of this amazing Book, all of them working together and pointing to our blessed Deliverer and Redeemer—the spotless Lamb of God—Jesus. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we'll continue on with our exploration through the 3rd Era of the Bible—the Exodus. We'll pick back up with the story of Moses and the Israelites as God brings their time in slavery to an end, and we'll discover that sometimes things get more difficult before they get better. We'll discuss how God often shares the promise without sharing the process and how those times can cause us to become more deeply aware of our spiritual deficiencies and our reliance upon Him. We'll confront some spiritual realities that often go overlooked and untalked about, and which might be a bit uncomfortable for many of us. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to begin the trek into the third era of the Bible, the Exodus, as we follow the story of the man of God, the first deliverer of God's people—Moses. Again, we'll watch God be the ultimate Orchestrator of events, and we'll be inspired by the courage and holy defiance of those behind the scenes in Moses' early life. We'll see how God places passions within us to compel us toward his will, often long before He plans to utilize those passions. And we'll talk about the toe-stepping truth that arrogance and insecurity are two sides of the same coin of self-centeredness—or pride. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

As we continue our new series in Exodus, titled “Deliverance”, we will again look at the life and times of one of the great men in the Bible - Moses. Talk about some heavy responsibilities! An entire nation's future put into the hands of one man! But Moses was a humble and Godly man who knew that it was God - working through him - who was really doing the delivering.

Today we come to one of the most known passages in the Bible- Moses and the burning bush. From the beginning of this account, we can't help but wonder why God chose Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. Was there anything special about Moses and Israel-- Were they a particularly godly-- Or was there some other reason driving the Lord's purposes--

SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 2/26/23. We encounter the birth of Moses in our journey through the Bible in Exodus 1:1-2:10. Senior Pastor Matt McFadden encourages us to understand that God's plan for our growth will always prevail—regardless of the Enemy's schemes and regardless of much we may believe ourselves too messed up to serve God.

Transitions are a part of life. For good or bad. Some changes we promote - some come unexpectedly. They are not always easy. Embracing change can be difficult. We might not be able to chose how changes come, but we can decide how we react with the change. How we navigate the changes has a lot to do with the success in our life. Calvary is facing the change of lead pastor as it looks for the man God has already chosen for the church. The Bible shows some transitions - between leadership as well - in the Old and New Testament. Pr. Gary Preston looks at principles in the Bible to help us implement as we face changes.

Roger and Jason talk show how biblical characters of the bible can teach us recovery principles and how it can apply to your life.

Many of the key servants of God in the Bible – Moses, Ezekiel, and ultimately Jesus – met enormous opposition and did not look like they would succeed. They kept on anyway. Rather than being discouraged by defeats, we can keep on in faith, knowing that God is at work.

Sandy Kress and the Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church continue their study of God's teachings in the Bible. This week, the class begins a 6-week discussion of several great leaders in the Bible. They begin this conversation with an examination of Moses, focusing on several different elements of leadership within his life.

Destination: JesusAt the Feet of JesusMatthew 5:16-17Pastor/Teacher: Ken DelageMercy Hill Community Church2020.04.26 WelcomeWell, good morning church. Great to be with you this morning. Go grab your Bible if you didn't have it with you already, and if you've got it, open it up to Matthew Chapter 5. Aren't you grateful to God for his mercy to us as a church, that we can still come to hear his word, to be fed by his word, week-to-week, even during a season like this? This is his mercy. I know we are looking forward to doing this together—yes, and amen, and Lord, speed the day—but we don't want to overlook the manna that he's given us during this time. We praise God for it. And, hey, if you're joining us and you haven't been a part of Mercy Hill, thank you for joining us this morning. We have been praying for you, that the Lord would meet you as we gather. It's one of the neat things about this season, that sometimes folks, whether by geography, or timing, or whatever it is that couldn't be with us on a Sunday morning, you know, in the church building can be with us in this way. And so, we're glad that you are here.The Road to ChristSo, I don't know if you remember this, but humankind, human beings, used to have these things called roads. Yeah? Have you ever you ever seen a road? These were things that humans used to go out on when they would leave their homes. I know! I know, like, who wants to leave their home? Why would you ever need to leave your home? But they did; they would leave their house. They would actually travel and see other people. History is crazy. It's amazing. So, back in the days of Rome—because I'm pretty sure that's the last time they had roads—back in the days of Rome, they had a lot of roads connecting that empire. Roads connected the garrisons together. Roads connected the cities together. Roads connected the empire together, and throughout the Middle East, if you got on one of those roads, there was a saying about them, that “all roads lead to Rome”. And so, you might get on a road in Egypt, and if you let that road carry you along long enough, you would find yourselves in the capital city. You would find yourself in Rome. You know, the Bible works a lot like that, too. The Bible's got a lot of pages, thousands of versus, hundreds of chapters, 66 books, was written over a thousand years, by 40 different authors, but it really doesn't matter where you step in. Well, it doesn't matter what path you begin on, what place you start, because as the Holy Spirit carries you along through the pages of this book you're going to end up in one place. See, all roads in the empire might lead to Rome, but all roads in the Bible lead to Jesus. It all points to him, and that's what we're going to look at in Matthew 5 this morning. And I think it’s super important for us at a time like this, especially during coronavirus and our life being turned upside down, you know, many Christians feel as though this is a time God is calling them to draw near to Christ, and let me just add my “amen”, and yes, and let's be about that, church. Redeeming this time—whatever that looks like for you in your situation—to be about drawing near to him. May God stir that and accomplish that in us, but listen, if he does, rather, as he does that, he will do that by his Spirit through his word. Because if you want to draw near to Jesus, this is where he's found. All the roads in the Bible point to him. The living Christ is revealed on the pages of this living word.Jesus, the Law, and the ProphetsSo, we're in the middle of Jesus's great teaching called The Sermon on the Mount, and we're going to consider two hinge verses, really, today. A whole new section is started by these verses. We're going to be in Matthew 5:17-18. Again, this paragraph that we're starting is kind of a hinge that, in many ways, opens the up the rest of the whole sermon, but certainly the rest of chapter 5. So, let's read these together; follow along as I read this out loud. Matthew 5:17 ff, Jesus says as he preaches, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” Jesus begins, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets.” A lot of people thought that he came to abolish these things because he was not acting like religious leaders typically acted. He was doing things like healing on the Sabbath, eating with unwashed hands, eating with unwashed people, hanging out with sinners. And people were bringing the charge to him, that he came to abolish the Law. So he said, “No, I'm not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets.” Now, when he says, “Law and Prophets,” we might think, “Well, what does he mean by that?” So to the Jewish mind, at the time, they divided up their Bible, the Old Testament, into those two categories. It was either Law or Prophets. And the Law was, more or less, the first five books of the Bible: Moses wrote the Law. Right? And then the rest were, kind of, considered the Prophets. And so, when Jesus says this, that He hasn't come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, he's talking about the Old Testament; the Scriptures of the day. He has not come to abolish them, it says, but he continues, “I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Fulfill them both and fulfill them entirely. Okay. So, this is what we're going to look at this morning. We're going to consider; how does Jesus fulfill this stuff? And this is an enormous subject. I will not, and cannot, do it justice in our time this morning. I hope to give you a, kind of, a preview that leaves you hungry to discover more on your own, but here's what we're going to do: we're going to actually put off to next week how he fulfills the law, because that is a beautiful and wonderful thing in and of itself. We want to consider this morning; how does he fulfill the Prophets? What does that mean when Jesus says this, because what he's doing, he's hanging a banner over his life, over all of his ministry, and saying, “Here's what I'm here to do. This is what I'm about. This is, in some ways, this is who I am. I have come to do this to fulfill the Prophets.” So, we’re going to look at that together, and as we do, here's the goal; we want to see him, to see Jesus a little more clearly as we see him through his word.Words and PicturesSo, fulfill the Prophets; what comes to your mind? There's, kind of, two main categories and, probably, most of us start by thinking of one of them. So, the first one would be, you know, these words written by prophets predicting Christ, right? So, you know prophecies about his life about his birth, about his death, those kind of direct prophecies about the Messiah, Christ fulfills. So, we might call those prophecies of words, but there's another kind of prophecy in the Old Testament that wasn't written as a prophecy of the Messiah, so much, as a picture painted of what he will look like. And I mean this: there are types and shadows all through the Old Testament that are just there. They're pointing to him. Black and white photographs of which he would become the Incarnation. They were just pointing ahead. So, those might be prophecies of pictures. So we're going to consider prophecies of words and the prophecies of the pictures this morning.Prophecies of WordsAlright. So, get in your little Cessna airplane with me, alright? We’re going to fly up over the Old Testament and do a, kind of, overflight together and just—there's so many ways that the Scriptures point to him—but I want to look at some of the highlights, some of the mountain peaks along the way. Now, we're going to move kind of quickly because there could be a lot to say about this. So, if you would like, just, to jot down the references as we go so that you can come back and consider these together, because we're going to look at many different texts. Okay?So let's start way back in our Bibles when, just after creation, sin enters the world in Genesis 3. So, Genesis 3, and God prophesies to Eve right there, and says to her that one day a seed would come from her who would crush the head of the serpent. Jesus is the seed come to crush the enemy of God's people.Then, in Genesis 17, Abraham is given this promise by God, this prophetic word from God that he would have an offspring, and that through that offspring, all the families of the Earth would be blessed. Jesus is that offspring come to bless the entire world.Then Genesis 22. That's the time when God calls Abraham to sacrifice his own son. Abraham takes Isaac up and prepares to offer him but God offers a ram, and when Abraham sees that, he prophesies of what is to come. And he says in Genesis 22:14, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” He says there's going to be a sacrifice provided by God, one day, like this, on a mountain, and Jesus came as the provided sacrifice in fulfillment of Abraham's prophecy. In Genesis 49 as Jacob lay dying, with his twelve sons of Israel around him, he spoke to each one, prayed over each one, and he prophesied over Judah. And he said about Judah, that he has like a young lion and that the scepter will never depart from him. The scepter; that kingly staff, the symbol of authority. And Jesus comes as the lion of Judah and the one who holds the scepter of God.Deuteronomy 18. As Moses does his second telling of the Law, he predicts that one would come; a prophet better than him, raised up from among God's people, to whom all God's people should listen, and Jesus is that better profit than Moses.In 2 Samuel 7, David comes to God and says, “I want to build you a house,” and God says, “I'll do you one better. I'm going to build you a house and I'm going to put your son on the throne forever.” And then God says these amazing words, he says, “I will be to him a father, and he will be to me a son.” Jesus came fulfilling that prophecy, sitting on the throne of David as the Son of God.Isaiah prophesied in chapter 53 that Jesus would come. The Messiah would be one who would suffer and serve the people of God. He would be despised and rejected by men. He would be a man of sorrows acquainted with grief, that our transgressions would be what caused his wounding, because all we, like sheep, have gone astray. And the Lord would lay on him the iniquity of us all. Jesus came as the suffering servant and sin bearer of Isaiah.Ezekiel 34 pictures God's people suffering under wicked leaders, wicked shepherds, and Ezekiel promises and prophesies the day when God would send a better shepherd, a good shepherd. Jesus is the good shepherd of God's people.Friends, we've hardly gotten started. Should I tell you of the processes around just his birth? “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son.” (Isaiah 7); O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel. [paraphrased] (Micah 5); or the mourning that would course through the land because of the slaughter of the innocents as the children were killed in the land of Jesus's birth (Jeremiah 31); how Jesus would flee to Egypt, but then, out of Egypt, I will Call my son (Hosea 11). Or should we look at some of the prophecies fulfilled in his is death? While he died, they cast lots for his clothing (Psalm 22); they pierced his hands and his feet (Psalms 22); he thirsted and was given vinegar to drink (Psalm 69). And yet, though, in crucifixion, it was very common for the soldiers to come in shorten the sufferer’s death by breaking their legs, Jesus’ legs were not broken; not a bone in his body was broken, just like the Passover lamb of (Exodus 12); and the righteous one, predicted in (Psalm 34). Even his burial, that he would be buried in a rich man's tomb (Isaiah 53), but that he wouldn't decay in that tomb, he would not see corruption (Psalm 16). Friends, what a God we serve, fulfilling all of these prophecies of word in one man, in the man, Jesus, the Messiah. A thousand years of prophecy being fulfilled in Christ, and these are just the prophecy of words.Prophecies of PicturesLet's look at the pictures for a moment; these types, these shadows, these black and white images that we see throughout the Old Testament that are meant to make us hungry for Jesus, meant to point us to who he is, what he came to do; what is he really like?Adam. Jesus is the better Adam. As through Adam some are born and all die, so through Christ we are reborn, but not to death, to life.The ark. Jesus is a better ark. You know, Noah got on the ark and was saved from the judgment of God against people’s sins because he was in the ark. Oh, Jesus is a better ark, saving the people of God, over and through the judgments of God, safe in Christ.Joseph. Jesus is a better Joseph. Joseph was rejected by his brothers, suffered at their hands, yet through that very suffering, saved the family of God. Oh, has not Jesus done better than Joseph, suffering at the hands of Israel, of the people of God, and yet saving them through that very suffering?Moses. Jesus is a better Moses, who came to deliver us out of the land of sin, of Egypt, through the baptism of the Red Sea, through the wilderness of this life, until he finally leads us to the land of promise.Tabernacle. Jesus is the better tabernacle than the tabernacle, a better temple than the temple, a better altar than the altar. Do you want to know where you can go to meet with God? There's only one place, there's only one person, and that is the tabernacle, the one where God and man dwell together, the God-man, Jesus Christ.Aaron. Jesus is a better Aaron. He's a better high priest. The high priests of Aaron had to offer sacrifice for their own sins, and do it over and over, and would eventually die, themselves. Jesus came as the great high priest who offered a sacrifice; once, for all, for sin, that would work for all times. He didn't need to offer anything for himself because he was a sinless—is a sinless—high priest.Sacrifice. The better sacrifice. Those High priests, back in the day, they would offer animals, but it's impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to ever take away sin. Jesus came as high priest. He offered himself to God upon the altar of God. By his blood, sin would be taken from his people for all times. He is the better sacrifice, the Lamb of God.Joshua. Jesus is a better Joshua; who came to lead his people out of the wilderness, into the promised land, conquering the enemies of God.Samson. Jesus is a better Samson; champion of God's people, defeating the enemies of God's people by his mighty strength, and even—and you can go look at the story of Samson triumphing over God’s enemies through his death.David. Great shepherd of God's people. Jesus is a better shepherd, who came to perfectly care and tend to the flock of God.Solomon. Jesus is a better Solomon; wiser than the wisest, who knows perfectly, friend, how to care for you, perfectly what you need in all circumstances, wise shepherd, even in coronavirus time.Elijah. Jesus is a better Elijah. He reveals God not in pictures and imprecise—true—but imprecise ways, no, he perfectly reveals the Father as the ultimate prophet of God.Israel. The Old Testament Israel is called God's son. They were a wayward son. Jesus came as the perfect fulfillment of all that Israel should have been, and was the perfect, faithful Son of God.Husband. Hosea talks about this husband figure, who is Christ, who loves his wayward bride and does all, costly to himself, to pursue her and bring her back to him. Behold our God, dear ones, behold Jesus; is he not worthy of our praise? Is he not worthy of our adoration? Look at Jesus. Look at this description.Seeing the Real JesusOh, Holy Spirit, open our eyes that we wouldn't just hear, but that we would see and be amazed afresh. Listen, friend, if you've never seen Jesus, we invite you this morning. Many folks, perhaps this is you, maybe you’re on the younger side and you've never really thought about Jesus for yourself, kind of who mom and dad worship. Maybe you've, kind of, given up on him. Rejected him. Let me just encourage you; before you reject him, at least take a look at the real him. Then let us not just simply reject the watered-down Jesus of our imagination. Don't reject the impotent Jesus of your suspicions about God, or the unimportant Jesus of your own mental fiction. Oh, friend, look at who this is, consider the one, who in one person, fulfills a thousand-years-of-word picture, who is as beautiful as a diamond with different facets to the whole. You know, the Bible says that Satan's job is to blind the people from seeing Jesus. I wonder if that's true for you. Listen, you're not alone in this. This is what he does to everyone; blinds them from seeing the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. May God open your eyes to see the real Jesus, that wouldn't be blinded to the real one. I encourage you this morning to ask God to help you see. May God help me. I want to know who this is. I want to know for myself. I want to see him myself. God says this that we’re to have eyes that see. May God give you those eyes as you ask for them this morning, that you could look to Jesus and see him, and be saved by him, and know God through him.Future FulfillmentNow, saints, in light of all that we’ve just said, in light of all that we've just gone through, this weight of glory which is his, you might expect me to then say, “So, look, he has fulfilled all the promises of the Old Testament. He has fulfilled all the prophecies about the Messiah,” but he hasn’t. He didn't. He has not fulfilled them all. Not yet. Not yet, because he's not done yet. In fact, he lays out the time scope of his plan, of his plan to fulfill the Law and the Prophets right here in verse 18, “For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” The day is coming when all will be accomplished from the Law and the Prophets, but that day is going to be about the same day when Heaven and Earth, themselves, pass away; on that great and final day. When will all be accomplished? On the last day. That's when he will finish his good work of fulfilling all the Law and all the Prophets. Friend, he’s not done yet. I want to give you just three Old Testament nuggets we can anticipate God is going to do through Christ.Habakkuk stirs our hope by telling us the day when all people ,all over the Earth, will know God. What a day. “The Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14)Daniel speaks of the day of Christ's return, and he sees him coming: “[behold] I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man … his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.” (Dan. 7:13-14) Oh, we look forward to a day when one comes riding on the clouds. The Son of Man comes to return and establish his kingdom that will never be destroyed.Ezekiel points to that day when the son of David will come and reign as king over all of God's people. “My servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd … My dwelling place will be with them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (Ezekiel 37:24-27) And don't you look forward to that day? Friend, what hope is ours in Jesus! He's not done fulfilling all the words of this book. Oh, we’ve got things to look forward to in Christ; yes, we do!Behold ChristAlright. So, what's our application? What's God calling us to as he reveals to us Christ in this? You know, often times I think we think of application as, you know, “What should we do?” And that's good, often times we are called to action, to doing, but I think the emphasis here—at least the first thing—is less on what to do, and more on someone we should see. Behold Jesus. Behold him. Look to him. Worship him. This multi-faceted diamond, shining in brilliance. The one who stands at the apex, and the pinnacle at the center, and the crossroads of all the Scriptures. You know, we've talked about how the Scriptures point to Jesus; we haven't even gotten to the New Testament!Now, I know Matthew 5 was talking about the Old Testament points, but the New Testament points to him. Friends, there are gems for you to discover about your Jesus, right here. This book is a treasure book. The Law of the Lord is perfect because the Law of the Lord points to Jesus. So church, let's draw near to him. And during this season, draw near to Christ. Draw near to Jesus. Your life might not have changed much during “corona”, and if so, I'd love to know who you are. [laughs] But some people's lives have changed more than others. Let us all seek to take advantage of this season, to be stirred up in our hearts, to waken out of a typical patterns of life, and to seek the Lord, to seize the opportunity to draw near to him. Let us do so by prayer. Yes. Let us do so by virtual fellowship. Yes. Let's do so by times of silence and meditation before him. Yes. But friends, let us do so by his word. Let us study it, and look at it, and read it, and meditate upon it, because it doesn't matter where you step onto the road. It doesn't matter what path you first begin on. It doesn't really matter where you start, because as the Holy Spirit carries you along, this book is going to lead you to Jesus. All the roads of the Bible point to him me. Let me say it this way: Destination? Jesus. Isn't that where we want to be? Isn't that—isn't he the one we want to draw near to? Oh, may God enable us, as individuals, to scatter, but also corporately, as a church, to draw near to the Son of God, revealed in brilliant splendor right here. We would bask in his light and enjoy the treasure that is him. So friends, let us pursue the one who first pursued us. Let's seek the one who came to seek us. Let’s love the one who first loved us, all for his name and praise and glory. Amen.Closing PrayerLet's pray. Lord, would you accomplish this in us? I pray that your Spirit would be granted us during this season to stir up such a hunger, to start such a thirst, Lord, that we would be a people of the book because we're a people that loves you, because we're a people that wants to know you, because we're a people who wants to dwell with you and be made more like you. Oh Jesus, help us be your disciples who simply follow you. Lord, I know that, for many, this is an intimidating idea. It brings guilt at past failures, and concern that, “But, I don't understand this part of the Bible,” or, “I can't get it.” Lord, meet each of us where we are. Are you not a good shepherd? You are. Are you not wiser than Solomon? You are. You know how to care for your people. Holy Spirit, reveal Christ to us during these days, we pray. To the praise and glory of God. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.Church, I love you. I miss you. Hey, if you're feeling disconnected in any way, not connected to a care group, or have a particular need, or whatever, feel free to reach out. Alright? Reach out to me on e-mail. Give me a call. I'd love to stay connected. We're all looking for that during this season. And so, if you're feeling it, I'd love to know. I’d love be able to pray with you, for you, talk with you on the phone. But, God be with each of you this week. I look forward to seeing you as the Lord enables one day.

Hear, nature, hear; dear goddess, hear! Suspend thy purpose, if thou didst intend To make this creature fruitful! Into her womb convey sterility! Dry up in her the organs of increase; And from her derogate body never spring A babe to honour her! If she must teem, Create her child of spleen; that it may live, And be a thwart disnatured torment to her!

Last week, Steve explored the yearning inside of everyone to worship. Whether that becomes God or something more material we choose to worship; worship is, in and of itself, a choice. Continuing with the theme of “choosing God” Steve looks at probably one of the most well-known stories from the Bible: Moses and the Burning Bush. Steve reflects on how this moment captures the divine mystery that is so wrapped up in who God is. As the Exodus story goes, Moses gets to know the character of God better by choosing to follow him. 

What do you think? How has your understanding of, and relationship with God changed and deepened as you have journeyed with him?

In our lives we have these idols. In the Bible Moses came from the mountain to only discover the invention of golden cows. In todays society our cows might look different but hold the same dangers. We must address and Kill These Cows that are holding us back from continuing further. This is my journey and my story.

We fumble our way through understanding when exactly in the Bible Moses sees the back of God, we discuss covenant renewal and why God did it so much, and we also discuss the implications of Moses having to wear a veil.

October 27, 2017 Speaker: Luann Prater & Rachel Olsen At some point in our lives, we will go through what many call a "midlife crisis." We all get to that point where we feel that things are not the way we thought they would be. Join Luann and Rachel at the Cafe as we talk about some of those midlife crises. Plus, you'll hear how a midlife crisis also affected one important man in the Bible - Moses. Come sit at the table; we've been waiting for you.

Pastor Brooks walks us through the many failures of one of the greatest leaders of the Bible - Moses. Although he is listed in the famous Hebrews 11 "Faith Hall of Fame," we are given countless instances of Moses' failures, fears, and shortcomings as a leader. Pastor Brooks shows us how Moses' stumbling blocks can be our stepping stones to a better, stronger leadership.
