Message Take Aways:1. Jehu served as an instrument of judgment bringing retribution upon the house of Ahab in fulfillment of God's prophetic warnings—“Yet surely My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they returned and said: ‘Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so He has dealt with us.'” Zechariah 1:62. Jehu served as a reformer in Israel as he executed the worshippers of Baal and destroyed their temple—“for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” Exodus 34:143. Though Jehu was utilized by God in Israel, his reluctance to fully submit to the law of the LORD revealed the true condition of his heart—“I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:10

Exodus 3: 10-14

Modern Christianity doesn't usually reject God — it often reshapes Him. In this opening week of Golden Calves, we look at Israel's worship of the golden calf and ask a hard question: have we done the same? When worship becomes centered on our feelings, experiences, and spiritual highs, we can mistake emotional atmosphere for genuine surrender. This message challenges us to move beyond chasing encounters with God and toward the long, hidden, ordinary path of obedience that actually forms us into Christ's image.Scripture:Exodus 24:1-3Exodus 32:1-35Amos 5:18-27Matthew 6:5-13Matthew 5:23-24Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

The Glory and Grace of God - Exodus 33:1-34:9 David Pfeiffer Download Permalink

Preaching through Exodus 20:4-6 on Mother's Day, Pastor Jared Richard makes the case that the Second Commandment is far more relevant to parenting than it might first appear. While the First Commandment addresses the who of worship — worship the right God — the Second Commandment addresses the how — worship the right God in the right way. God's generational language within the command makes His intention unmistakably clear: faithful worship is meant to be passed down from one generation to the next. As Deuteronomy 6:4-9 reminds us, parents are commissioned to imprint God's commands on their own hearts and then impress them upon the hearts of their children. That, Pastor Jared argues, is the number one calling of every mom and dad. Pastor Jared then walks through three lies that idolatry tells about God — that He can be limited, that He can be managed, and that He can be accessed on our own terms rather than His. Using the golden calf of Exodus 32 as a vivid illustration, he shows how even well-intentioned worship can become deeply offensive to God when it distorts who He is. He applies this to the modern church as well, warning against picking and choosing which attributes of God we're comfortable with, and even cautioning that worship music itself can become idolatrous when we treat it as the mediator of God's presence rather than Jesus. The sermon closes with the Gospel promise embedded in the commandment itself. The curse falls upon those who hate God to the third and fourth generation, but the blessing falls upon the faithful for a thousand generations — an exponentially greater promise. Pastor Jared points to Jesus as the only one who ever worshiped the Father in complete faithfulness, and through His death and resurrection, His faithful worship is applied to all who repent and believe. The call to parents is clear: love the Lord your God with everything you have, and love Him so visibly and so joyfully that your children want what you have. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

This section of Exodus gives lengthy instructions for the construction of the tabernacle and the functioning of the priesthood. These are patterned after heavenly realities that ultimately point to our redemption and reconciliation through the Person and work of Jesus Christ.

In Exodus 3, we see one of the most well-known Bible stories as God appears to Moses in the burning bush. In this interaction, we see God reveal Himself to Moses as a holy, eternal, and near God. He calls Moses to return to Egypt and be the instrument through which He will deliver His people from slavery. Even in Moses' fear and hesitation, God assures him of His presence and faithfulness.

John 17:24–26,“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”One of the great blessings of my life is that I grew up in a Christian home. My mom and dad were always part of a church that preached the Bible, and I had no choice but to go. That was just the way it was — and there was a time there, when I was in high school, when I was not thrilled by this.I still had to show up and check the boxes — I was always at the things — but spiritually I was in the ‘far country.' It was a dark season of my life, but looking back, even then, one topic that always intrigued me was the will of God. Because I was at least a theist — I believed God existed. And I knew that if he existed, he must have a will — God wants something from me — And I figured if that's true I should try to find out what that is! I should try to figure out what God wants from me. Except that felt super complicated, because my impression of the will of God was that it was like a mysterious bull's eye out there that I'm supposed to always aim for, and, at best, I might land somewhere on the board.And I allowed that confusion about the will of God to be an excuse for my apathy. Maybe that's you today … you're here, so that means something — you're at least a little bit interested in the will of God — but if you're honest, you're really just showing up today, you're taking shots in the dark, going through the motions. You would like to know: What does God really want from me?Three Powerful WordsAnd this morning I want to start by showing you three powerful words in this passage. It's actually the first three words of verse 24. John 17:24, Jesus says:“Father, I desire …”That word for desire means to will — it's the expression of one's will.Which means: in verse 24 we're about to read God the Son telling God the Father what his will is.And, as we've seen in the Gospel of John, the Father and the Son are in perfect harmony. The Son only wants what the Father wants. He does what the Father says. So in telling the Father what he wills, Jesus is repeating what the Father himself wills.When Jesus says, “Father, I desire,” he is expressing the will of the Triune God. Is anybody interested to know the will of the Triune God for us? … We don't have to guess anymore. We're not in the dark anymore.Jesus is about to tell us the will of the triune God.The first thing he shows us is this:1. The will of the triune God is that we be with him.This is verse 24, right away: “Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am …”And this is not the first time Jesus has said this. Remember back in Chapter 14, verse 2, Jesus encouraged his disciples that he's leaving here to go and prepare a place for them. He said, verse 2: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”Jesus wants his people to be with him — that's what he's been up to. That's the goal of his leaving. That's his desire in Chapter 17. But then when we zoom out, we can see that this is actually the will of God since the very beginning. One of my favorite summaries of the Old Testament is to say that it's a story about “God's people in God's place under God's rule and blessing.” That's what God is doing. And we see that right away in the Garden of Eden. So we're gonna do a little Bible survey for a minute. Hang with me:Starting in Genesis, what was the Garden of Eden?Think about it: Eden was “God's people in God's place under God's rule and blessing.” That was Adam and Eve for at least a minute, but then they sinned and God exiled them from Eden.And in Genesis 3:15 God promised to send a Redeemer — a son would come to crush the head of the serpent!And this Son would ultimately restore “God's people in God's place under God's rule and blessing.”That's what the Exodus was for … remember God told Moses, “I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God…” (Exodus 6:7). This God with his people — That's what the tabernacle was for … That's what the temple in Jerusalem was for … The whole thing is God moving his people back to Eden … back to his place, under his rule and blessing. The problem, though, is the people themselves. Their sin was too corrosive. Their hearts were too hardened. So God makes a new covenant! He will put a new heart in his people, by his Spirit — and in the fullness of time, he sent Jesus as the minister of that New Covenant. So see how this fits! The goal is God's people in God's place under God's rule and blessing, and Jesus came as the embodiment of that — Jesus himself is the place of God — he's the new temple. The Father gives Jesus authority — he rules and blesses. Jesus becomes the substitute for his people — he bears our sins and imputes to us his righteousness — Jesus does this so that God has his people in his place under his rule and blessing! That's why Jesus came here, that's what Jesus has gone to prepare, and that's what Jesus is bringing back when he returns! So when Jesus says, “I desire that they be with me where I am,” he really means it! This is not a sentiment. This is the will of the triune God. The will of the triune God is that we be with him. 2. The will of the triune God is that we see his glory. In verse 24, this is the second part of Jesus's desire, or will. I desire that they may be with me where I am to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundations of the world.”And again, Jesus has already mentioned something like this before. Back in verse 5 of this prayer, he said “Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.”So if we put these together, Jesus has had glory before anything ever existed outside himself. When all there was was God himself — Father, Son, and Spirit — the Son had glory (and it had something to do with the Father's love for him). And Jesus wants us to be with him to see that glory. And this makes at least one thing become clear: It's that God is the gospel. In other words, God is what makes heaven heaven. This is important because we already know that Jesus wants us to be with him, but the next question is Why? Why does Jesus want us to be with him where he is?Another way to ask it is: What is the purpose of heaven?Or have you ever wondered: Is your purpose in wanting heaven the same as Jesus's purpose in making heaven?I've never heard a more soul-penetrating question than this. This is one of those thought-experiments that just lays everything bare. As one writer puts it: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters [— if you could have all these things in heaven, but did not have Christ, could you be satisfied?] (see Piper, God Is the Gospel, 15).Is it Jesus that makes heaven worth wanting for you? Or is it all the amenities?Because Jesus does not mention any amenities in verse 24. He says he wants us be in heaven to see him. That's his purpose. And look, it's hard to imagine that if Jesus is not precious to you on this side of heaven, that he would suddenly become precious to you in heaven.Now, without doubt, Jesus will be more precious to us in heaven than he is now because we're gonna fully see him. Now we see through a mirror dimly, but then face to face … unhindered by sin, with new capacities. We will see his glory more radiant than the sun! But the longing for that has to start here. That's what conversion is.Conversion is when God opens your eyes to see Jesus as glorious — not just useful; not just helpful; but glorious.Jesus came to live and die and be raised from the dead to save you to give himself to you — so that you would want to see him. The will of the triune God is that we see his glory — and that may not sound compelling to you right now, but it's what you were made for. Seeing this glory is the deepest and truest longing of your soul. This is #3 …3. The will of the triune God is that we share in his joy.Start in verse 25:“O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known…Jesus here is referring to the active ministry of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is still making the God known to us, by his Spirit through his Word. But why? That's verse 26:I will continue to make your name known [so that] the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”This is nosebleed altitude, okay. Hang with me. Let me restate verse 26: Jesus is saying that he wants the love that God the Father has for God the Son to be in us. And this love in us is like Jesus being in us.And in verse 24, Jesus says that this love — the love the Father has had for the Son before the world existed — this love is the ‘foundation' of Jesus's glory that he wants us to see.So, put it together:Jesus wants us to see his glory — glory that is grounded in the Father's love for him — And then he wants to share that love with us.GLORY because of LOVE, and then HERE!And I'm calling all of that one word: JOY!The triune God wants us to share in his joy!Now how am I making that connection?It's because joy is what describes that experience of glory and love within the Trinity. Jesus has always had his glory — It's glory from before the foundation of the world.He has always been the visible manifestation of the Triune God's perfections! When the Father has looked at the Son, that's what he has seen. The Father has seen in his Son the mirror of his own worth reflecting out — And that sight makes the Father very happy! It makes him infinitely, inexhaustibly, very happy! And if we will see what the Father sees, we will be happy too, forever.Historically, this doctrine has been called the Beatific Vision. It's the promise that one day, we as Christians — as those whom the Father has given to the Son — one day we will see the glory of the triune God in the face of Jesus Christ, and we will experience his joy forever.“In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).And to every human in this room, you were made for that.Your every desire is pointing there.Your every hardship will only make it sweeter.I want you to know that God's ultimate will for you is NOT really about what he wants from you, it's about what he wants for you.That's the part I didn't understand when I used to be so intrigued and confused by the will of God. I went through all the motions, but I could never have dreamed back then that God's ultimate will for me is actually to satisfy my ultimate desire.That's what Jesus is telling us. He wants us to share in his joy. That's the will of the triune God.The question is: Will you receive it?To Three TypesI'd like to close by doing something I don't normally do, but I want to speak directly to three different types of people in the room …First, if you're here and you're not a Christian, become one. Today is the day. Right now, turn from your sin and put your faith in Jesus Christ. Second, if you are a Christian but it feels like you've been living in the dark, ask for God to shine in your heart again and to open your eyes anew to the glory of Jesus and our hope in him. Seek personal revival. God can give it. And then third, if you're a Christian but you feel especially distractible in these days (and so many of us are here, including me). Listen: I am calling us to lock-in on what is ultimate. That does not mean that we ignore our challenges. We don't. We want to be faithful in them. But we get there by keeping the big picture in view: God is God. Jesus is real. And he tells us what he wants for us.To be with him, to see his glory, to share in his joy — this is the will of the Triune God for us. And it's what brings us to the Table. The TableAt this Table, we remember what Jesus has done for us: He came to live and die and be raised from the dead to save us … to give himself to us … so that one day we would see him.And as we take the bread and cup, we are rejoicing in him and in that hope, which is why this is a meal for Christians. If you're here and you've put your faith in Jesus, let's give him thanks together.

Welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast. We're thrilled to be with you again this week as we discuss Exodus chapters 19 -20, 24, and 31-34, a very important and wonderful part of the Old Testament. This week, we welcome another special guest that we think you'll be very excited to have join us. Kerry Muhlestein is one of our favorites, because we love his books so much. He's written many, but we have favorites. We love, Let God Prevail, which is all about the covenant in the Old Testament and, of course, his prolific work on the Book of Abraham. He is an Egyptologist, a professor at BYU, but most of all, we are impressed with his passion to make what people consider the hard things of the Old Testament easier.

Service: God's Handwritten Character - Exodus 19:4-6, Matthew 22:34-40

What's commonly called the Mosaic Law or the Torah is actually a covenant between God and Israel. And it's important to note that redemption precedes regulations. God had already rescued Israel and called them his treasure before giving them any rules to live by. But Israel also discovers they cannot approach a holy and transcendent God without a mediator.

In this message, we walk through Revelation 11 and discover “the one thing that changes everything” in the Christian life: self-giving, sacrificial love that shapes us into Christlikeness and propels us into mission.Drawing from Revelation 11:1–13, we explore the church symbolized as the temple, the altar, its worshipers, and the two witnesses—prophetic images of God's people living between the first and second coming of Jesus (Revelation 11:2–3; cf. Revelation 12:6, 14; Daniel 7:25).Key themes in this sermon:Sanctification: From Clean to HolyWhat it means to be holy: not just morally upright, but fully devoted to God (Exodus 19:5–6; Leviticus 20:26).Clean vs. holy in the Old Testament (Leviticus 10–11; Numbers 8:14–17).Jesus as the truly holy Israelite who learned obedience through suffering (Hebrews 5:8–10).Positional holiness in Christ vs. progressive sanctification (1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).Feet-washing and ongoing cleansing (John 13:6–10).Salvation: A Missional, Prophetic PeopleThe church as God's prophetic witness in the world (Revelation 11:3–6; Acts 1:8).Living so that others come to saving faith in Jesus (Luke 19:10; Romans 10:13–15).Building intentional relationships with non-believers like Jesus did (John 3:1–10; John 4:7–30).Protected Yet Vulnerable: The Tension of Christian LifeMeasured temple, unmeasured outer court—spiritually protected, physically vulnerable (Revelation 11:1–2; Revelation 21:15–27).Joy in trials as the context for maturity (James 1:2–4; Romans 5:3–5).Learning obedience in the mud of real life, not apart from it (Hebrews 12:5–11).Costly Yet Powerful: The Way of the LambThe two witnesses suffering, dying, and being vindicated in resurrection power (Revelation 11:7–12).God's power made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9–10).Overcoming evil with good and sacrificial love (Romans 12:1–2, 9–21).Sacrifice Sanctifies; Sacrifice Wins the WorldHoliness tied to sacrifice throughout Scripture (Leviticus 1–7; Hebrews 10:10–14).Offering our bodies as living sacrifices as true worship (Romans 12:1).The shocking mercy in Revelation 11:13, where judgment leads many to give glory to God—anticipating a great harvest (cf. Isaiah 6:13; Romans 11:5–6).This message calls believers away from consumer Christianity—endless podcasts, books, and spiritual “dog bowls”—and back into the biblical process of Christlikeness: a long obedience in the same direction, lived out in community, service, and sacrificial love (Ephesians 4:11–16; John 13:34–35; Philippians 2:1–11).If you've been longing to grow in holiness and fruitfulness but feel stuck, Revelation 11 will reframe your understanding of trials, mission, and the everyday altar where God turns sacrifice into power and witness.

Today's speaker is Dr. Billy Marsh, Associate Professor of Theology, Director of MDiv Programs at Cedarville University.

Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

Preacher: Chad Vegas

Presented by Julie Busteed Much of life is spent working—both in a job and in the ordinary daily tasks that keep life going. Scripture makes it clear that rest matters, yet the question remains: is rest truly practiced? Is there space to unplug, sit still, and be present? The fourth commandment speaks directly to both work and rest: Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God… (Exodus 20:8–10). God did not only command rest; He modeled it. Genesis tells us, by the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy (Genesis 2:2–3). What a gift this is. God gives meaningful work and purpose, and he also knows the human need for rest. That is why the Sabbath was given, blessed, and made holy. Is this model followed? In a culture that values constant activity, it is easy to stay busy—at work, at home, and even in good and meaningful pursuits. Worth can quietly become tied to how full the schedule is. Yet the truth remains: rest is necessary. Not only physical rest but mental and emotional rest as well—time for the mind and spirit to be renewed. Too often, the command to rest on the Sabbath is brushed aside. Stillness can feel uncomfortable. Being alone with one's thoughts may feel unfamiliar, or even unproductive. Rest can seem boring in a world that never slows down. But Sabbath does not mean doing nothing; it means resting from ordinary labor and setting the day apart for God. For many, Sunday serves as a Sabbath. Others who work on Sundays may need to choose a different day of the week to set aside. Even while Israel wandered in the desert, God established a rhythm of rest. Manna was gathered on the sixth day so that the seventh day could be devoted to rest and worship. Jesus declared himself Lord of the Sabbath. When the Pharisees accused him of working on the Sabbath, he explained that meeting basic needs and doing good—healing, helping, restoring—were never violations of God's intent. As Jesus said, The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath (Mark 2:27). May this rhythm of work and rest become a lived practice—one that brings freedom, restores the soul, and honors the gracious gift God has given.

You won't believe the showdown in Exodus 7—Pharaoh's magicians try to match God's power, only to be hilariously swallowed up in defeat.Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul examines the serpent-sign confrontation, the real-but-limited power of evil, and the absolute sovereignty of a God whose plans cannot be resisted.To hear more of these studies from Exodus, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.
