On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. This commandment is so often misunderstood, I believe. The leaders of that day took it to an extreme where it was unlawful to help people who were in desperate need of help. I believe God gave them this commandment not only to remind them to take one day a week to worship and praise Him, b...

This one verse says so much in so few words. I don’t know many people that haven’t crossed the line with this one. It doesn’t even mean using His name as profanity, but using His name when it isn’t in reverence. Anytime we misuse His name or use it in a lighthearted manner, we take His name in vain. This one is often a heart issue. How reverent and serious are we about who God is and how we represent Him? Sometimes I wish for the days when I was growing up when we stayed in the foyer until we were ready to go in the sanctuary and be serious, quiet, and reverent. But I know God loves us and wants us to enjoy life too, but I think often we just don’t see Him as God. ...

Now that God has reminded Moses of who He is and what He has done not only for Moses, but for the Israelites, God is ready to give Him the ten simple commandments for them to follow. The first commandments God gives them is about their relationship with Him. Then He goes into how the...

I know it might seem like there are just a few words in our verses today, but how profound those words are. The fact that God spoke to Moses at all is a miracle in itself. He reminded Moses who He was and what He had done for the Israelites. My first thought it that Moses could look around and see they weren’t in Egypt, but it was more than that. It was a reminder that what Moses might at times think he himself did, was completely God’s doing. Moses was the mouth moving but the words and the influence was God and God alone. He also reminds Moses here of the circumstances the Israelites had been under in Egypt. They had been in the house of slav...

The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly. 19 And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder. 20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. 21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest the...

For on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care n...

The name of the one was Gershom (for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land”), 4 and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”). 5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God. 6 And when he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her,”...
