Law Of The Land, Exodus 21-22 OT S1:E59

God protects the most vulnerable in the very first laws He gives His people. In this episode, we learn the three different forms of law expressed at Sinai and which apply to us today. We learn a valuable lesson about God's character and how we can grow to become more like Him.

The End Times Then, Matthew 24:1-28 NT S1:E33

Jesus told His disciples what would happen to the Temple 40 years before it would be destroyed by Titus and his Roman legion. We are prepared for the End Times not by knowing the details and timeline of events, but simply by trusting our God with the future. As we consider the End Times, we will ponder how to be prepared for Chris't return.

True Godliness, Exodus 19-20 OT S1:E58

The Ten Commandments tell us God's will for our lives. Life on earth would be much more like heaven if we just kept God's rules. But we don't. So God tells us His way, with a mind to fulfill it for us, so that in Him, we can be holy as He is holy.

Listen And Learn, Exodus 18 OT S1:E57

Moses learned a painful lesson about leadership when he failed to delegate properly. He was at least partially responsible for gathering all the disgruntled Israelites into one place, day after day, stoking their anger by failing to hear their cases in a timely fashion. God sent Jethro to help Moses by teaching him his error and showing him a better way. There are great lessons here for all who aspire to leadership.

How I Long For You! Matthew 23 NT S1:E32

Warning signs tell us of danger ahead, and so too does Jesus who challenged those who rejected His words and love. But He doesn't deal with them in anger. Rather, in love, Jesus warned his opponents, telling them of the tender loving care they would receive from His Father, were they to repent of their stubborn unbelief.

Fighting With God, Exodus 17 OT S1:E56

Why did God's people fight with God and Moses when they were fighting for them? It seems human nature can never be content. Even so, in this chapter, we see two powerful types of Christ in Moses and Joshua, who teach us that God fights for His people, despite their tendency to fight with Him every step of their earthly way.

Our Daily Bread, Exodus 16 OT S1:E55

God's people were not impressed enough with the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea to trust Him. When they got a little rumbly in the tummy they cried out against God and Moses. Why did you bring us into the desert to kill us with hunger? We can laugh at their antics, not even trusting the Lord when bread starts falling from heaven, but lets be on guard unless we forget that the same unbelief lives in our hearts.

God Of The Living, Matthew 22 NT S1:E31

The parable of the wedding feast teaches that only those who are clothed in the robe of Christ's righteousness will get to celebrate the life and love of God. Many then, many now, are too busy, too distracted or outright hostile to God and His generous invitation. We do well to embrace His invitation, knowing that in Christ, in glory, the things that detract from our human relationships, the things that interfere with true love and openness will be gone and we will get to live in the light of Christ's love with those we love, without all of the stuff that gets in the way of relationships now.

Song of Moses, Exodus 15 OT S1:E54

Rejoicing in the victory God won over Pharaoh, Moses sings unbridled praise for God Almighty. His praise climaxed with the expression, "The Lord has become my salvation!" In this episode, we learn how to praise the Lord, and how Jesus is the key to understanding how God would fully save his people even in this song sung 1,500 years before His birth.

A Saving Flood, Exodus 14 OT S1:E53

When Pharaoh changed his mind about letting the Israelites go, they found themselves caught between a mountain, the Red Sea and Pharaoh's army. The moment of their salvation seemed to be their demise. But when God divided the Red Sea, the waters that provided their salvation became God's instrument of wrath when He drowned hard-hearted Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea. Here we see a powerful illustration of the saving power of baptism.
