— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus 24 – the high point of Exodus, a chapter that looks like a wedding ceremony between God and Israel, with Moses serving as the witness and best man for Israel, and the wedding contract being the Ten Commandments. This official ceremony of God’s covenant with the...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus 23 – a chapter that reveals the signs of a person who lives by godly principles – a life that is both just and righteous. We read that the truthfulness of God is to be reflected in truthfulness displayed to fellow men. The compassion and justice...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus 22 – a continuation of God’s ordinances to Israel. In this chapter, God continued with clear instructions on justice. He also gave rules required for the people to be righteous. Righteousness and justice are closely related. God Himself rules through righteousness and justice (Psa. 97:2), and...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus 21 – where God gave the laws that further explain the “Big Ten”. These ordinances are spread throughout the Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. In Exodus 21-23, God focuses primarily on the six horizontal commandments. The two guiding principles of God’s laws are justice and love....
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus 20 – where we read of the “Big Ten” – the heart of God’s Law to Israel. When Israel chose to enter into a condition-based covenant with God, they were expressing their willingness to submit to His authority. We are to take the Law as the...
— by Victor Fawole It is with great delight that I welcome everyone back to our “No Bible, No Breakfast” spiritual exercise. We resume our journey into the book of Exodus. This chapter happened some seven weeks after they left Egypt, and it sets the stage for the next phase of Israel’s history. I am...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus chapter 18 – a crash course on Leadership. Salvation brings us into a relationship with Jesus, and this relationship is beautifully expressed in our service to God. Presenting our lives as a “living sacrifice” for God is our life-long pursuit (Rom. 12:1). Our service to God...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus chapter 17 – a pivotal moment in Israel’s wilderness journey, where faith and doubt collide. This chapter recounts two events: the miraculous provision of water from the rock and the intense battle against the Amalekites. In this chapter, God’s presence and power are displayed, man’s weakness...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to Exodus chapter 16 – a chapter that reveals the character of God as a Provider. I find it amusing that Pharaoh’s rebellion was met with God’s judgement, while each time the Israelites rebelled against Moses (and God), they enjoyed God’s deliverance and provision. Hmmmn… There’s a difference...
— by Victor Fawole I welcome everyone to another dramatic chapter in the history of Israel. This chapter has it all, as the Israelites moved from worship — and word — to wailing. It begins with a song of praise and concludes with complaints about provision. God ensured that these events were recorded for our...
