The message is taken from Exodus 34:1-7. “God is love.” That is one of the most common Biblical phrases concerning the nature of God. However, there are many questions that follow on the heels of that phrase including, “How can God be loving when the world we live in is filled with suffering?”

What in the world was Aaron thinking when he made the golden calf?  He practically led them straight into an idolatrous party.  Of course, the people were yearning for it.  God's response is intense.  Moses' intercession is needed.  In all of it we see our need for a Savior.

We see in Exodus 29:1-9 that what the priests had to go through in order to be consecrated was pretty unusual.  Lots of sacrifices and blood.  As we will see in our Exodus study once again, this all points us forward to the fulfillment in Jesus who offered up the last and final sacrifice.

The priests of Israel were a unique sect of people in Israel.  Special privileges with God that no one else could partake in had been given to them.  In Exodus 28:1-5, we will see that Jesus, our great high priest, has secured those privileges for us through our union with Him.

The last 16 chapters of Exodus major on the tabernacle.  You might wince at the thought of working through this section.  Not so with Israel...they were stoked that God would be at the center of their camp.  We'll look at Exodus 25:1-9 and briefly study the tabernacles's purpose for Israel and see how Jesus fulfills the tabernacle/temple purpose in our lives today.

Have you read through the second half of Exodus lately?  It's tough sledding because we're not sure what to do with some of those strange laws.  We'll find some answers as well as see the connection that the writer of Hebrews makes between Exodus and Christ's blood being sprinkled on our souls.

We return to our study in Exodus and in Exodus 19:1-6a we see God entering in a binding relationship with His people and becoming His treasured possession.  What does God expect from us?  What can we expect from Him?  And, how does this help us understand the greatness of our salvation?

On the surface of Exodus 18 we see a visit from the ol' father-in-law.  More importantly, there are two essential practices that we need to aim for as Christians/a church that desires to worship God.

A message from Exodus 15-17, "Water, Bread, and War."  Right after God gives His people an amazing victory over Pharaoh they lapse in their faith with grumbling and complaining.  However, God provides everything they (and we) need.

A message from Exodus 13, "Trust God."  Trust God with your life because He knows what is best and He is with you even in the middle of your crisis.

Wondering how the fires of worship are going to take off in your heart?  We'll be answering that question as we study a rather large section of Scripture (Exodus 7-15) in which God deliberately and mercifully makes Himself known.

In Exodus 5-6, Moses has surrendered his will to God and is stepping out in faith.  All is good now, life falls into place, and Pharaoh becomes a friend, right?  Not quite.  Opposition rises up and discouragement sets in.  How does God help the discouraged?

In Exodus 3-4, we see that as God sees His people suffering in Egypt, He raises up an imperfect, excuse-laden fugitive named Moses.  The wonderful news of the Gospel is that no matter what the circumstances of life may be, God not only calls but also enables us to obey Him in ways we never imagined.

This message is the beginning of a new series in Exodus.  From Exodus 1-2 we learn that it's a blessing to know that even in the midst of chaos and struggle, God keeps His covenant promises.
