Like He did with Moses, God has a purpose for you- and He works in the day-to-day details of your life to bring it to pass. Our limitations are nothing compared to God's purpose for us.

Exodus 3:1-10

Today we want to take this chat and explain the importance of the synagogue in the days of Christ and the early church.   First, what is a synagogue? The basic definition is a synagogue is a Jewish house of worship. A synagogue is for Jews what a church is for Christians, or a mosque for Muslims, or a temple for Hindus. The word comes from the Greek roots “sun” which means "together", and “agein” which means "to go” or “to bring together". Wuest Word Studies gives this explanation: “It refers to the act of a group of people "going with one another," thus congregating in one place. Finally, it came to refer to the place where they congregated. The word was used to designate the buildings other than the central Jewish temple where the Jews congregated for worship.”   Though some Jewish traditions claim synagogues existed “from the time of Moses,” history notes that the practice of meeting in synagogues emerged during the period of Israel's Babylonian captivity. During this time, the Jewish temple was unavailable for worship, requiring an alternative gathering place for dispersed Jews who desired to gather for prayer and communal worship.   By the time of Jesus and the New Testament period, synagogues had become a common local fixture. The New Testament mentions synagogues over 60 times, largely in connection with the ministry of Jesus and the apostles. On the Sabbath, local Jews would meet for prayer and Scripture reading. Of course, the Sabbath in the Bible is the seventh day of the week which has its beginning in Genesis 2:1-3 when God rested on the seventh day of creation and as verse 3 says, “He blessed the seventh day and sanctified it…”. Then in the Law of Moses God makes the seventh day of the week a special day set apart for worship for the Jews and no work was to be done. This is why the Jews go to the synagogues on Saturday.   Jesus was fulfilling the law as He went from synagogue to synagogue teaching the law and the prophets and worshipping with the Jews in that region. Jesus might have argued that the "religious system" was corrupt, or that He didn't need the instruction; but instead, He made His way on the Sabbath to the place of prayer. From verses in Luke 4:16-21 we can observe many synagogue customs: First, the meeting took place on the Sabbath (Saturday). Second, Jesus stood to read. Third, He read from a scroll. Even today, scrolls are found in synagogues and are used for weekly readings (see also Acts 15:21). When finished with His reading, Jesus sat down to teach, another synagogue tradition.   Paul and the other apostles would use the synagogue as a launching point for missionary activities. Upon arriving in a new community, Paul would show up at the synagogue and request to speak. He would then present Jesus as the Messiah and begin his local outreach. This sometimes resulted in many people believing in Jesus. Historically, the synagogue has continued to play an essential role in the practice of Judaism. After the destruction of the Jewish temple in A.D. 70, worship could no longer take place in the temple, making the synagogue the central place of worship. The synagogue has served as an important fixture in Judaism and early Christianity. Its importance during the time of Jesus and the apostles provided one of the key ways the gospel spread in the earliest years of the church.   Today, as believers we meet on the first day of the week in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus on that day! That is when the New Testament believers met. It should be our custom, our regular practice, to come together with other believers to pray, to worship, and be taught the Word of God. In Hebrews 10:25 we are exhorted: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”   God Bless!

The time has come for Moses to return to Egypt. God intended for Moses to have face to face interaction with Pharaoh. What's really going on is that through Moses God would have His demand delivered directly to the man at the top. But God warned Moses that Pharaoh would refuse to listen. Jesus gave us the same warning, “if they reject me, they will reject you", "you will be persecuted for teaching what I tell you".https://ucgraleigh.blogspot.com/2024/03/moses-returns-to-egypt.html

A Personal God The God of History The God of Liberation A Holy God Takeaway: God – not nature – is the ultimate foundation of our existence. And, as he has shown us in history, he is on our side.

John's gospel narrative is organized around 7 miracles that demonstrate that he is the Messiah, the Promised One, the Deliverer, the Savior. But in addition to these ministry signs Jesus gives other signs. After he cleansed the Temple he was challenged concerning his authority. He gave them the sign- Destroy this Temple and I will raise it up in three days. He was prophetically speak of the temple of his body that would be raised back to life after he was killed. The climaxing sign in John's gospel is Jesus resurrection from the dead.Nicodemus , a ruler of the Jews, came to visit Jesus during the early days of his ministry in Judea. He said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus startled him with a discourse on his need to be born again by the sovereign work of the Spirit. He then gives Nicodemus this sign which explains how it is possible for God to forgive sinners and have access to God. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,  that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.' John 3:14-15This was a reference to what happened during the wilderness days of the Hebrews in route to the Promised land. When they grumbled and spoke against Yahweh and Moses God visited them in judgment by poisonous snakes that bit thousands who died. The people beg Moses to ask God to take the snakes away and to stop the punishment. God told Moses to make a bronze snake image and put it on a pole so that when a person was bitten by a serpent he could look on the snake imaged on a pole and live.  (Numbers 21:4-9)Jesus told Nicodemus this was sign pointing to him. It was a prophecy of his destined death by crucifixion when he would take the judgment due his people and when they looked to him in faith they would live . He will some 3 1/2 years later speak his being lifted up to some Greeks who came seeking him. (John 12:32-34) Paul explains the meaning of Jesus death in terms that explain the divine transaction that took place with Jesus in 2 Corinthians 5: 19, 21 In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them. ...For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

Pastor Caleb Kinney Wednesday Evening 1/31/24

A Prophet Greater than Moses Hebrews 3:1-14 Last Sunday we began a brief advent series in Hebrews. Hebrews is probably not the first book of the Bible that comes to mind when you think of Advent or Christmas. However, the whole book is about Jesus. It speaks clearly about his coming, his nature, his glory, and as we considered last week, his offices. As a reminder, that word office is the official capacity of his ministry – who this child that we celebrate at Advent is… who he is…  and what he has come to do. His offices are Prophet, Priest, and King. The first few verses of Hebrews chapter 1 introduce Jesus as the Son of God in those redemptive roles. This week, we'll be focusing on Jesus' prophetic office. A prophet is one sent by God, to speak the word of God, on behalf of God. Our text is Hebrews chapter 3 verses 1-14. You can find that on page 1188 in the pew Bibles. As you are turning there, let me note that if we had time, we would read all of chapter 3 and chapter 4. Those two chapters are really one message. Our text this morning in chapter 3 is a good summary of the larger section. The opening 6 verses compare Jesus to Moses. Then in verses 7-14 the author of Hebrews quotes Psalm 95:8-11 and gives a brief explanation and application. They call us to hear and believe in Christ, holding fast to our faith in him. Let's now come to his Word. Reading of Hebrew 3 Prayer As you know, the Old Testament is full of history. Of events, of people, places, festivals, wars, promise, families. But out of all of them, one event stands out as the most significant in the life of God's people. The Exodus. It was ultimate demonstration of deliverance in the Old Testament. It's amazing what God did and how he did it. It's hard for us to even wrap our minds around some of it. God sent Moses to the king of Egypt, Pharoah, multiple times calling him to free God's people. Each time, Pharoah rejected the call. And after each rejection, God sent plages on Egypt. Terrible plagues. The worst was the tenth. The angel of death came and all the firstborn in Egypt died. Yet, the Lord passed over the homes of the Israelites, if the blood of the lamb was on the their doorposts. It was that moment that Moses led God's people out of Egypt. God went before them with a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. The people rejoiced, thinking they were set free but then the Egyptians began pursuing them, and they ended up at a dead end - the Red Sea. It appeared that all was lost. They couldn't cross. But yet again, God displayed his power and salvation. First, the pillars of smoke and fire held off the Egyptian army. But even more amazing was what happened next. Moses raised his staff, struck the water and the Red Sea parted. Another miracle. Moses led them across on dry land. And as soon as the last Israelite crossed, the waters came crashing down on the Egyptian army… destroying them all. Imagine all that had transpired. Imagine being a father or mother or child and seeing and experiencing all of it. And that wasn't the last of it. Even the small miracles displayed the provision of God. The soles of their shoes didn't wear out. God gave them manna from heaven - daily provision of food. They were there when Moses went up on the mountain and returned with the commandments. They were there to see the pillar of smoke and fire above the tabernacle revealing the Lord's presence. They witnessed so many things. And at the center of it all, besides, of course, God himself, was Moses. He had been the one to boldly speak to Pharoah. He had been the one to lead them out. God parted the Red Sea through Moses. God had revealed himself to Moses in the burning bush and on the mountain. He was used to bring the tablets of stone, the ten commandments. Moses was the man. And besides all that God had done through Moses in the Exodus, God also revealed to Moses his laws. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Moses wrote down the creation account, their history including the patriarchs, the ceremonial and civil laws. Moses was and is the central figure in Judaism…  perhaps only paralleled by Abraham. Moses was their guy. So, when the author of Hebrews brings up Moses, you better believe it that his readers would be paying very special attention. Verse 3 would have been a particular eye opener to them – It says, “Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses.” For some of the Jewish reader, this would have been shocking. More glory than Moses? Moses had to veil himself (cover his face) when he descended from Mount Saini because he reflected the glory of God. But Jesus was counted as more glorious than Moses. Now, to be clear about the audience, Hebrews was written to Jewish people who believed in Jesus as the Messiah. We read that right there in verse 1. The author calls them “brothers” and, as it says, they “share” in the same “calling” and “confession.” But they still would have been startled by the emphasis of Jesus over Moses. We know from other New Testament books that Jewish background believers often struggled by overemphasizing Moses and the law. Sometimes the law was elevated above grace (the book of Galatians deals with that), and other times the law was put on the same par as faith. Like grace plus circumcision, or we're saved by grace plus the law (the book of Romans deals with some of that). So, what the author of Hebrews is doing here is making really clear that Jesus is greater than Moses. But note: the author is not diminishing Moses, no, rather Moses, as great as he was, is being put in his proper place compared with Jesus. Jesus is the greater prophet. Now, I said that, but some of you probably noticed, the word “prophet” is not found in our text this morning. In fact, the word “prophet” is not found anywhere in chapters 3 or in 4. So, first, let me explain why the underlying emphasis is Jesus as the greatest prophet – greater than Moses. ·       Number 1 - we often don't think of Moses as a prophet, do we? But he was the most preeminent prophet in the Old Testament. In Deuteronomy 18, which we read earlier, Moses calls himself a prophet. And that makes sense. God sent Moses to speak and through Moses God gave his Word and law to the people. And related to that, the prophets often performed signs and miracles as a testimony to their prophetic role. And that was certainly true for Moses. He was a prophet. ·       The second reason - in the same Deuteronomy passage, Moses writes that God will raise up a prophet like him from their brothers. Moses says, “it is him you shall listen.” Well, there are two places in the New Testament that quote that Old Testament verse. Both pronounce that Jesus is the prophesied prophet. We read one of them earlier in the service - Acts 3 – Peters sermon. Stephen also says the same thing in Acts 7. Jesus is the prophesied, capital “P” Prophet. ·       Third, in Hebrews 3 verse 1, Jesus is called THE apostle. He's “the apostle and high priest of our confession.” That word apostle in the Greek means “sent one.” It's a different word than prophet, but both have been explicitly sent by God and they share the divine authority to speak his word. So even though these verses don't use the word prophet, yet they still convey the role of prophet. ·       And last, these two chapters, 3 and 4, are about God speaking and our listening. In fact, the beginning of verse 7 reminds us that God is the one speaking through his Word. Look at what it says: “Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says” and it quotes Psalm 95. The thing is, King David is the one who wrote Psalm 95, but he was carried along by the Holy Spirit. Many of the Old Testament quotes in Hebrews are attributed directly to God. To be sure, it doesn't diminish the human author's intent or context, but it's a good reminder that God has given and directs his Word. OK, now flip forward to chapter 4 and jump down to verse 12. Basically, the end of chapter 3 and the beginning of chapter 4 are an exposition of Psalm 95. The author has made the case to listen to the Word of God and to believe it. And then he writes these well-known words. Starting in verse 12 of chapter 4: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Again, he's talking about the word of God. Now listen carefully to verse 13. “And no creature is hidden from his sight…” Did you hear that? It doesn't say “its sight” but “his sight.” The author of Hebrews is speaking of Jesus as the Word of God. And the second half of verse 13 makes that abundantly clear: “but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Jesus is the one to whom we will be accountable on the last day. He is God's Word. Let me boil it down this way. Earlier, I gave you a definition of a prophet. A prophet is sent by God to speak the word of God on behalf of God. Moses certainly fits that definition. But Jesus fulfills that definition. He is sent by God as THE apostle – God the Son sent into the world. He speaks the word of God because he is the word of God. And he's come on behalf of God because he is God. Jesus is considered worthy of greater honor than Moses for all those reasons. Let me pause here. Why does this matter? You may be thinking, “Isn't this just an intellectual discussion? Can't we just get to application?” Well, look at verse 1. What's the imperative in verse 1? Do you see it there? It's the word “consider.” “Consider Jesus, the apostle and High Priest of our confession.” Beloved, there's nothing and no one greater to consider. He IS the application. Now, we're going to get to our response in a few minutes, but I wanted to point that out. And just to be sure, these verses don't minimize Moses. Verse 2 makes that clear. Moses was faithful. He was a faithful leader. God called him to faithfully speak to Pharoah. He faithfully obeyed God. The people saw Moses' faithfulness to God – they knew Moses had a special role in God's kingdom. Look at the phrase at the end of verse 2: “Moses… was faithful in all God's house.” That term "house” describes God's people – as in the family of God. Moses faithfully served the family of God. Jesus was also faithful. Faithful to speak the truth and grace of God. Faithful to God the Father in fulfilling his task on earth - salvation. Faithful in perfect obedience to God's law. You see, both were faithful. But faithful in different ways. And what these first 6 verses highlight is that Jesus is categorically more faithful than Moses. Jesus is worthy of greater glory than Moses. Why? Well, he writes, “the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.” Verse 5 explains: “Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant…” and in verse 6 “but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son.” So, on the one hand, you have Moses. He's a servant in the house. And on the other hand, you have Jesus, as the builder of the house, as over the house. This last summer, we vacationed in Washington DC. And one of the things we did was go on a White House tour. The most famous house in the world. It was very interesting. We didn't see the west wing or the oval office, but we entered the east wing and were able to walk through the lower level and then the rooms on the main floor. And there were pictures everywhere (and painting, too). Almost every picture included one of the presidents… but he was with a foreign dignitary, or a famous musician or movie star, or the queen, or the first lady, or the family dog. Pictures of president after another president after another president. It was a good reminder that each president merely serves in the house. He didn't create the office of President or build the house and he doesn't own the house. No, the president serves the country. It's the constitution which established the office 250 years ago. The President, though important, is merely a servant in the house… appointed by the people. It's not a perfect analogy, but you get the point. Moses served in the house. He's described as a servant. And what did Moses do? End of verse 5: he was there “to testify to the things that were to be spoken later.” There it is again, by the way… prophet. Moses was a prophet pointing to a greater prophet. That's Moses… faithful in the house. Jesus, on the other hand, is described as “the builder” – verse 3… and “the son” – verse 5. He has more honor because he is over the house. It's his house. He established the house. Again, we're talking about the household of God – the people of God. The reason that Jesus is over the house is that he is God. Verse 4 notes. “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.” So after being described as the builder, Jesus is equated with God. Moses is a servant in the house. But Jesus, as God the son, owns the house. We're to consider him: Jesus is not another faithful prophet like Moses, rather he's THE prophet, the Word of God. He's the one whom Moses prophesied would come. He's over Moses and over the whole house of God, the church. Greater and more glorious as the builder of the house. Response And that brings us now to our response. We've considered Jesus, but what does that mean for us? Well, look at the middle of 6. “And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and hope.” Verse 14 is very similar to verse 6. Look down at 14. “we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.” “Hold our original confidence.” And earlier, “Hold fast our confidence.” Those two verses are saying the same thing. We're to hold onto Christ. We're to see and hear and have a believing heart. The Psalm 95 quote illustrates the opposite - an unbelieving heart. In fact, verses 7-11 take us back to the Exodus and the wilderness. The sad reality is that even though they witnessed the 10 plagues…. Even though their firstborn had been passed over by the angel of death…  even though they were there when God protected them from the Egyptian army… even though they crossed the red sea… even though they experienced God's provision in the wilderness… yet they did not believe. They witnessed and experienced it all, yet constantly displayed unbelieving hearts. Things got to a boiling point at Meribah – the place of the rebellion. They needed water, yet they didn't trust the Lord to provide, even though he had provided all along the way. So they rose up against Moses. “Why have you brought us into this wilderness to die?” They wanted to go back to Egypt, back to slavery. They hardened their hearts. That's how Psalm 95 describes their rebellion in verse 8. It's the same phrase used to describe Pharoh's heart. Suppose you had not gone to your doctor for years. You thought you were fine. But then one day, you notice that you get out of breath really easily and your chest feels tight. So, you go see your doctor. After performing some tests and scans, he or she sits you down and says, Tell me about your diet? Well, I don't eat green things. Usually, it's ice cream for breakfast. For lunch sometimes grilled cheese sandwiches or a burrito. For dinner, my all-time favorite is BBQ, but pizza or fried foods will also do. You then learn that your arteries are 80% blocked. Your terrible diet is causing your heart to slowly harden and die. You have congestive heart failure and the risk of a massive heart attack is high. The doctor says, Your diet needs a radical change or you will die. How do you respond? Do you think, I don't believe it. I'm fine. Or will you believe and realize your grave condition. The generation in the wilderness had spiritual heart disease. Because of it, sadly they would not be allowed to enter the promised land. As Psalm 95 puts it they would not enter God's rest. You see that in Hebrews 3:11. It's referring to the eternal rest in God's presence for eternity. And why would they not enter it? It's because of their unbelief. You can see that down in verse 19. We didn't read that verse, but it directly answers the question why. Let me take a brief tangent here. Some have suggested that verse 12 means we can lose our salvation. It says that you should not have “an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.” However, it's not saying that we can have true faith in Christ and then later lose that true faith in Christ. Rather these verses are emphasizing that a true testimony of faith is revealed by someone who demonstrates their faith over time. Who indeed, “holds fast our confidence,” as it says. The Israelites in the wilderness demonstrated they never had a believing heart. It wasn't a matter of believing and then losing that belief, rather it was witnessing the deliverance and provision of God, but never believing. Now, you may be asking yourself this question: “If that generation had all those reasons to believe, yet they didn't believe, what hope is there for us and our generation?” Well, we have even more reasons to believe. Moses was a shadow of the greater prophet who has come. And the Exodus, despite how God miraculously delivered his people and displayed his glory, was also just a shadow. The deliverance that Christ has brought is greater. Deliverance not from bondage in Egypt but bondage from sin and shame, and not through the blood of a lamb, but through the blood of THE lamb of God, Jesus. And we have the prophecy fulfilled because the Word of God has come – Jesus himself. What was veiled in the past, we now see clearly… the faithfulness and mercy of God in Christ. And speaking of veiled… let's go back to when Moses had to veil his face. Exodus 34 describes Moses' face radiating the glory of God after being in his presence on the mountain. So much so, the people were afraid to come near him. So he put a veil over his face. But over time, that reflected glory of God on Moses face faded away. But not so the glory of God in Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 says that God has shown the light of his glory in our hearts. What is that glory? It says: “The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus.” Not a reflected glory, but the glory of God himself in Jesus. As Hebrews 1 says, Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God. This advent, may we consider Jesus, the one greater than Moses, the great prophet of our confession, and may we believe. May our hearts not be hardened by the deceitfulness of our sin,” as it says, but instead, may we believe and behold the one who delivers us from our sin.

Today's scripture comes from the book of Exodus, Chapter 14, verses 19 through 31, where we delve into the incredible story of the Israelites' escape from Egypt. As they stood at the shores of the Red Sea, facing seemingly insurmountable odds, God's miraculous intervention became evident. Join us on this journey of faith and discovery. In this sermon, Pastor Rick explores the profound meaning behind the parting of the Red Sea. It's not just a miraculous event but a lesson in trusting God during our own Red Sea moments. We all encounter challenges in life where it feels like there's no way forward, and the enemy is closing in. However, as we learn from this ancient story, when we say "yes" to God's guidance and do not succumb to fear, we open the door to God's provision and salvation. Discover the courage of the Israelites as they step into the unknown, the mud beneath their feet, and the waters parted by God's hand. This powerful narrative reminds us that God's grace is big enough to cover any situation, and He leads us through the difficulties to reach the other side. As you watch this sermon, reflect on your own Red Sea moments. Have you faced challenges that seemed insurmountable? Are you willing to trust and follow God, even when the path forward seems uncertain? Let Pastor Rick's words inspire you to say "yes" to God's guidance and discover how, in the end, God provides. Join us in this transformative message of faith, courage, and God's unwavering love. Don't forget to listen for the special word Pastor Rick has included in the sermon for our youth to find! Listen, reflect, and be inspired.

The burning bush story! In the midst of being overwhelmed by the presence of God, facing a bush burning brightly and white-hot, Moses hides his face, and God speaks. 1 - We're all functionally blind, just like Moses. We have no idea what the future holds. But God sees. God sees reality for what it is - and God has a preferred future for all of us, a future with milk and honey. That doesn't mean it will be easy - but milk and honey will be there. 2 - Okay, so what do we do? God says, "Go." Even though you're blind, you can't see - just like Moses - God says, "Go." Keep moving. Keep taking steps. Trust. And the last thing God says is, "I'll be with you." Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Exodus 3:1-12 http://bible.com/events/49050135

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walks in the way of perfection, he shall serve me – Psalm 101:6 When you wish to know something about Godly living, where do you look? Is there a better to look at then to the men of the Bible? The Lord in all His sovereign wisdom didn't leave us without a wonderful textbook, the Holy Scriptures. Some make the mistake of worshiping these heroes of the faith. Others make the mistake of only highlighting these men's weaknesses. But somewhere in the middle is what God intended, and if our heart is right, we can learn all we need to know about healthy, rewarding Christian living from these incredible men of the Lord.

Shortly into their time in the desert, Israel began to grumble about their lack of food and lack of God's provision. God provides quail and bread for his people. In time, Jesus claims he is the Bread of Life.
