The title of the sermon is: NO MORE “ONE DAY THEY.”

PLANNING FOR THE PROMISE

In our Exodus preaching series we come to Exodus 23:14-19.  What seems like a simple holiday schedule turns out to be an ingenious example of God’s strategic planning.  Through three agricultural celebrations, the Lord reveals principles of successful community life and stretches our thinking. 

It’s a message equally important for those who are living in the overflow of blessing and for those who are waiting on their blessing to arrive. 

 The title is:  PLANNING FOR THE PROMISE.

THE PRICE OF PEACE

The book of Exodus includes a lot of rules about oxen, donkeys, and sheep that seem irrelevant and (let’s be honest) boring.  But not when you realize what God was really saying, what gets lost in the translation. 

Those ancient rules are actually a contemporary guide to restoring the divided and declining communities we live in right now.  But, there is a catch:  restoration is expensive, though not in the way you might suspect.

The title is of this sermon is THE PRICE OF PEACE.

IF YOU AIN'T READY, GET READY (audio of sermon)

Between the first Passover and the parting of the Red Sea is a short passage in which God’s opinion of Israel and Israel’s opinion of themselves are quite pretty much exactly opposite.   They think they’re ready.  God thinks they’re not.

The outcome is a long and winding road, a God-sized fake-out,  and a 5-step process for transforming an overconfident and unprepared community into a competent and powerful one.

The message is titled: IF YOU AIN’T READY, GET READY.

Please comment.

Listen well.
