Exodus 8:1–9:12 | The next five plagues. Pharaoh’s heart is hardened. God’s power and glory are displayed. The magicians of Egypt are confounded, never able to counter and now no longer able even to mimic. And the Lord begins to make a distinction between the Israelites and the people of Egypt. Where will it go from here? And how will the people of…

Eclectic group of non- Koreans who also attended. Because of a dear family from India, I was introduced to some amazing Indian cuisine. And the course of conversation over a meal, the couple mentioned how it was wrong to eat pork. Now, I don’t know if this was a regional thing in India from where they were from or maybe a part of the church that th…

Predestination. Adoption. Redemption. Forgiveness. Grace. Praise. Join us as we continue to make our way through a paragraph full of wonder, as Paul speaks of our salvation in Christ and cannot help but spill over into doxology. How do we draw comfort and encouragement now from the knowledge that we are chosen in Christ? How does the adoption Paul …

Exodus 7. Moses and Aaron are sent to Pharaoh again, with the reminder that he will not respond favorably, but the Lord will harden his heart so that he may multiply signs and wonders against Egypt and deliver his people by a mighty hand. And yet, as the audience with Pharaoh gives way to the first plague, the Lord attacks the lifeblood of Egypt—th…

Father, indeed, it is a joy to be here in this, your house, to worship you. But we come with busy and distracted lives. Father, we come with hearts full of trouble, with minds anxious about what has happened and what is about to happen. And Father, so we ask as we come now in this time of worship to your word, that you would soften our hearts that …

Moses has spoken to Pharaoh, and much to his chagrin, it went terribly—just as the Lord told him beforehand. Now as the Lord responds to Moses and the people’s complaint, he anchors his promise of redemption in history by pointing to his covenant with their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And as Moses steps back from describing how God addr…

As we read this famous text, our tendency is to rush into exceptions and qualifications. Didn’t the Hebrew midwives defy Pharaoh’s order? Weren’t they commended for disobeying the civil government and saving babies? When the Apostles were strictly charged not to teach in the name of Jesus, didn’t they defy the order, claiming that they must obey Go…

Continuing in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians we next consider 1:3–4. Only two verses, and yet there is so much to say! Paul seems to lose the thread of his own thought as he piles on reason upon reason upon reason through the paragraph for why we should bless God (verses 3–14 comprise a single sentence in Greek). As he begins to unpack every spirit…

Moses and Aaron talk to Pharoah and things don't go as *they* had planned. But the Lord is with His people and we are beginning to see a foretaste of promises fulfilled!

Tongue, but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world. Here is God’s word. Please be seated. It’s a pleasure to be here this morning. I see lots of familiar faces. My wi…

Come to the end of Romans 12. We are shaped by grace, we serve by grace, and our love is to be fueled by grace. We look to the reading of God’s word. If you please join me in prayer. Heavenly Father, as we meet now in your presence, we ask that you would open our ears to hear your voice, that you would open our hearts to love you more and more, to …

We started our next Bible study series tonight, embarking on Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Join us as we consider what on the surface appears to be a rather mundane greeting and yet is actually so much more.
