Podcasts about reading exodus

April 11, 2025Today's Reading: Exodus 5:1-6:1Daily Lectionary: Exodus 5:1-6:1; Mark 15:33-47“Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'”  But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.”” (Exodus 5:1-2) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.If you are old enough or well-versed in classic “Biblical” cinema, you cannot hear these words from Exodus 5 without hearing the voice of Charlton Heston saying, “Let my people go.” Maybe you hear a really slow, confident “Let my Cameron go” from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  What a privilege we have to prepare for what is to come by looking back at previous accounts of Scripture. Exodus 5 is a beautiful foreshadowing of what of what we will remember next week. God's people were stuck in actual, physical slavery in the land of Egypt, and they longed for freedom.     Forget Charlton Heston. Forget Ferris Bueller. What matters is that next week, we will relive and remember our Lord's silent plea to the one who holds the Children of God captive. Don't forget the words of the prophet Isaiah. “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth” (Isaiah 53:7). Our Lord cried out upon the cross. He prayed for His enemies. He said, “I thirst” to fulfill the Scripture. But nothing was as powerful or as important as the final words He spoke.          Unlike Moses, our Lord was not going to the cross to plead with the Devil to release His children from bondage to sin and death. Jesus wasn't asking permission from anyone. He was silently taking back what was rightfully His, and His final words signaled that the fight was over. While hanging upon the cursed tree, right before giving up His spirit, Jesus cried out, “It is finished.”    Prepare your heart well to remember the day. That day of victory is your day of victory. That was the day the Devil lost the fight over your soul. The Devil doesn't have a choice in our release. Our Lord has put him in his place. Marked with the sign of the cross, you are HIS! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Jesus, send Your angel legions, When the foe would us enslave. Hold us fast when sin assaults us; Come, then. Lord, Your people save. Overthrow at last the dragon; Send him to his fiery grave (LSB 521:6)-Rev. Timothy Chase, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Truman, MN.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev.

God delivers His People from slavery in Egypt and spares them from death because of the blood of the lamb on their doorpost.

December 30, 2024 Today's Reading: Exodus 13:1-3a, 11-15Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 58:1-59:3, 14-21; Luke 1:26-38“Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem” (Exodus 13:15).In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Like any new parents, Mary and Joseph wanted to do everything just right for their newborn son. So, 40 days after Jesus' birth, Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to offer the sacrifice demanded by the Law for consecrating a firstborn male to the Lord. Luke records this act of obedience as the Holy Family travels to the Temple to fulfill the requirements of the Law.In Exodus 13, the LORD said to Moses, “Consecrate to me all the firstborn (and) Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Exodus 13:1, 3). This command was given by God to remind His people that He had delivered them out of Egypt after the final plague in which the LORD killed all the firstborns in the land of Egypt. But this was more than a simple nod to the past.In this requirement of consecration, God was also pointing His people forward to the Firstborn Son who would be consecrated for us. Jesus Christ, the Son of the Most High, went to the Temple in accordance with the Law of Moses to begin a journey of obedience that would lead to a cross. There on Calvary, in the ultimate sacrifice, our Lord received what we deserved, and by the sacrifice of the sinless Son of God, we have been consecrated - set apart - for the Lord.Jesus Christ is the “firstborn of all creation” (Colossians 1:15) and the “firstborn from the dead” (Colossians 1:18), and, as Paul reminds us, “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his” (Romans 6:1-6). This firstborn son of Mary is also the Firstborn and only Son of God, who fulfilled the Law in our place and died our death to lead us out of our slavery to sin and our heavenly Promised Land.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Lord God, thank you for giving your only begotten Son to die for us so that through His obedience, we might live. -Rev.

August 5, 2024 Today's Reading: Exodus 16:2-15Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 19:1-24; Acts 28:1-15“I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'” (Exodus 16:12)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Last week, we read that David cut off Goliath's head so that the whole earth would know that there's a God in Israel (1 Samuel 17:46). God's power testifies to who He is. We have every reason to know Him: to fear, love, and trust in Him above all things. But self-absorbed sinners often quickly forget. The Israelites proved this time and again.Their grumbling over empty stomachs happened on the heels of what God had done for them at the crossing of the Red Sea. They had seen His power over Pharaoh and his army. Freed from bondage in Egypt, they were making their way to the Promised Land. When Pharaoh and his army were in pursuit, God's display of power and protection for His people was so incredible! He parted the sea for His people to cross, then put an end to Pharaoh and his army. Afterward, Moses and the people sang, “The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation” (Exodus 15:2).God's miracles are powerful testimonies to who He is. But when the Israelites were hungry, they threw God's mercy back in His face and accused Him of evil. “Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger” (Exodus 16:3). But what was God's response? “Behold, I am about to rain down bread from heaven for you” (Exodus 16:4). God provided manna and quail. God continually acted to show them that He was their one true God.While you were still a sinner, God acted. Christ died for you. St. Paul says that's how God shows you His love for you (Romans 5:8). In Christ, you know for certain that He is your one true God. Paul says that in the context of suffering. The road from Egypt to the Promised Land could not have been easy. Your pilgrimage isn't easy either. It's filled with ups and downs. In the midst of such uncertainty, God rains down manna from heaven. He gives you His Son, not just some spiritual boost, but Christ's very Body and Blood for forgiveness, life, and salvation. Now, you can sing God's praises with joy as you journey from Baptism to resurrection on the Last Day. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Thank the Lord and sing His praise; tell everyone what He has done. Let all who seek the Lord rejoice and proudly bear His name. He recalls His promises and leads His people forth in joy with shouts of thanksgiving. Alleluia, alleluia.

April 17, 2024 Today's Reading: Exodus 34:29-35:21Daily Lectionary: Exodus 34:29-35:21, Exodus 35:22-38:20, Luke 7:36-50And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, and brought the LORD's contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. (Exodus 35:21)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. If you ask most pastors, they would be ecstatic if they never, ever, ever had to talk about money in the Divine Service ever again. It always feels a bit uncomfortable, because even though the Offering of the Church is a free gift from the people of God, it always feels a bit like ‘asking for money.'At the same time, though, churches do need funding to keep the lights on, pay their church workers and support staff, and to make the worship space look like a place where the Most High God visits His people, regardless of the building where you gather.When Moses asked the Children of Israel to bring offerings together, he was planning to build the Tabernacle to the Great I AM's exacting specifications. There was a specific plan for the Tabernacle, which we don't have to follow today in our churches since there isn't one specific place on earth where Christ is present, but upon every altar where his Word is taught in its truth and purity and where His sacraments are administered according to His institution.One way that we love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, and mind is by returning to Him a portion of all we earn as a way of thanksgiving and praise for all He has done for us. Offerings can be musical, or hands-on during a workday or servant event, or as an acolyte or usher. They primarily take the form of monetary gifts, though, in the offering plate. Has your heart been stirred or your spirit moved by what the Lord God has done for you in Christ? Are you thankful for the salvation Christ won for you on His cross? One response of praise and thanksgiving is to set aside some of your income (paycheck, allowance, etc.) to return to the Lord's church on a regular basis.It can be a wonderful feeling to return in joy to the Lord just a tiny portion of all that He showers upon us. It is just one more way to say thank you to the Lord for lifting you out of sin and death and setting you on the way of forgiveness and salvation. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give!

April 10, 2024 Today's Reading: Exodus 24:1-18Daily Lectionary: Exodus 24:1-18, Luke 5:1-16Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank. (Exodus 24:9-11)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. There's a lot going on in the Daily Lectionary's reading from Exodus today. The Lord renews His covenant with His people. Moses heads up Mt. Sinai. And just before that, at Sinai's base, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders join Moses in seeing God. That's really cool! Don't you wish you could see Jesus like they did? We must admit that we don't see Jesus in the same way. Jesus Himself told Thomas in last Sunday's Gospel lesson, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29) And yet, our Lord has given us a place to go that's very much like how they saw God in Exodus 24. When you're in Church next Sunday, pay attention to the altar. What's on it? You'll find bread and wine. When Christ's Word is spoken, that bread and wine are now also the body and blood of Christ. The same body that hung as a sacrifice on the cross. The same blood that was shed for your forgiveness. We see Jesus there. We behold God, and we eat and we drink. The same way they did at the foot of Mt. Sinai. The altar is the place where heaven and earth meet. It's where God is seen. Maybe in a little different way than Moses, Thomas and the rest saw. But our Lord cares enough about you to rend the heavens and come down. He meets you where you are, down here in the dirt of your sin, and the grime of your fallenness. And He comes to cleanse you. Taking away your shame. Forgiving your sin. Comforting your grief. He doesn't worry what will happen to Him, even when it's a cross. You're worth getting dirty for. You're worth dying for. This is what Christ has done for you. And it's what Christ continues to do for you. And we get to see it every time we're in Church. We get to see Jesus. And not just see Him, but hear Him, taste Him, smell Him, touch Him. He engages all our senses so that we may know that He is here indeed, and here for you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen;Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, And all my weariness upon Thee lean.

March 4, 2024 Today's Reading: Exodus 20:1-17Daily Lectionary: Genesis 29:1-30, 31-34, Mark 9:14-32I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery (Exodus 20:2)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Today's reading is the Ten Commandments. Honestly, this section of Scripture can be a bit of a hard slog, where God is viewed as the great cosmic killjoy, setting out the rules we are to follow to keep Him happy. And as we try to follow these rules sometimes it can seem deeply unfair, as the harder we try the worse it can get, as we try to white-knuckle our way to holiness. And when we inevitably fail and mess up, we seemingly receive little consolation in God's declaration that He's a jealous God who will punish the children for the iniquity of their parents (Exodus 20:5). None of this seems fair at all. Then the temptation can be to maybe ignore some of the rules, perhaps God didn't really mean what he said? Or maybe major in the rules you know you can keep, downplaying the ones you can't, and hoping no one will notice, least of all God. In all this wrestling with the Ten Commandments and our sinful nature though it's easy to forget where God starts when He begins to speak. He does not say you are all a mess, and here's a plan to clean up your life. Nor does He say you are all having too much fun and I'm jealous so I'm going to ruin it for you. He does the opposite, He tells us about His character and His love for His people. He is a God who rescues from bondage, from certain death, He is a God interested in the delivery of His people. Here, He reminds His people, very freshly delivered out of slavery in Egypt by God through the hands of Moses, that He is their rescuer, their protector, their guardian, who wants to keep them safe and free. It can be easy to look at the Law as a new form of bondage, and it certainly does serve to keep our sinful natures corralled, but we are not free when our sinful natures are liberated, we are free in our new life in Christ. In our Baptism we are rescued from the bondage of sin, as our old selves are drowned, and raised to live in new life. That new life sees the danger in letting our sinful selves run free, and rejoices in the freedom in Christ to live the life He has called us to. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Save by His grace through faith alone. (LSB 579:6) -Deac.
