December 15, 2021 — God Goes Tenting
If the children of Israel wouldn’t come near to God, well then, He would—draw near to them! What took so long on this occasion that Moses must be 40 days on the mountain of God? Believe it or not, among other things, the Lord was going to give him a scale model of heaven! The […]
December 14, 2021 — Take Two Tablets, Moses
Imagine seeing these two slabs of stone, supernaturally engraved with the finger of God! Again Moses is called up to meet God in Mount Sinai, this time with “his assistant Joshua” (Ex 24:13).

God wanted the whole nation to be priests, serving near Him. What would Israel decide? Now back to the thrilling story in Exodus. Imagine that you were one of the children of Israel. A few months ago, you were a slave making mud bricks under the sweltering Egyptian sun. You watched, from the safety of […]
December 7, 2021 — Should Christians Keep The Law?
It’s good to love God with all our minds, and this topic will be an opportunity to do just that! In deciding if Christians must keep the law, we should see a basic difference in Bible viewpoints. One group of Christians believe there is little difference between Israel and the Church; Israel is the Church […]
