Exodus: Going Home the Long Way Part 10

Ray Pouliot explains why the Passover is relevant to us today.

Pharaoh's Hard Heart Exodus Chapters 7-10

The first nine plagues seem to be attacks on the powers of particular Egyptian deities. What is important, however, is that eventually Moses was able to do things the Egyptian magicians couldn’t replicate (8:16–19). They call it “the finger of God” (ʾṢ-BAʿ ʾELŌHÎM), a figure of speech that seems to indicate the direct action of | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

The confrontation between Moses and pharaoh was a confrontation between “gods.” Pharaoh supposedly was the reincarnation of Osiris, and Moses was commissioned with power to rival the Egyptian gods. | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

As Moses prepares to make his way back to Egypt, he has four strange interactions. None of them really make much sense on their own, but together they paint a picture of things to come. | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

When YHWH calls Moses to be his mouthpiece, the conversation reveals as much about God as it does Moses. | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

Erik referenced the reconstruction of Pi-Ramesses by Artefacts, a website that deals with historical reconstructions. This video shows how they created the reconstruction, including the layers of archaeological and scientific studies that the artists employed. | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

Israel’s presence in Egypt is often debated by scholars, but it serves a vital function in the biblical narrative. | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

In this short series, we will be considering how two mountains are the axes of salvation history. The author of Hebrews sees another mountain that is both Sinai and Zion, and yet greater than both. It is the culmination of the hopes of both Jewish and Gentile believers. | Hebrews | Series: Resurrection 2026

Like any good epistle, Paul has a salutation at the end of Ephesians. The way he closes the book tells us a lot about the way churches should view each other and the authority of Scripture. | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

Anyone who grew up in church knows “the armor of God,” but Paul’s purpose in this section is not individual growth or practices. He is calling the church to suit up for the “walk in love” he started talking about back in chapter 4. Apparently, the walk is not just a pleasant hike through the | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

Paul’s discussion of submission to authority takes what might be an unpopular turn as he puts his focus on healthy, biblical marriage relationships. | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

Paul contrasts “walking in love” and “being imitators of God” with darkness, unfruitfulness and drunkenness. Believers are called to encourage one another along the journey, and the means of that encouragement is a bit surprising if you think about it. | Ephesians | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

During this passage of scripture, Paul emphasizes practical changes. He speaks on separation from God, urges believers to abandon their former way of life, and tells believers to walk and love like Jesus. | Ephesians | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

Paul stretches the bounds of language so his readers can begin to understand just how much bigger God’s grace is compared to their own expectations. He invites us into a faith that transcends human capacity. | Ephesians | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

In this masterful passage, Paul drives home the idea that the Jews and Gentiles are both equal participants in God’s plan of salvation. Not only does he challenge Gentiles to step up to the role of being God’s people, but he also challenges the Jews from the Scriptures to shift their perspective on Gentiles coming | Ephesians | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians

The devil prowls as we continue our study of the Book of Ephesians. The Grace of God will prevail for faithful believers as we travel with the Apostle Paul through versus 1-10 of chapter 2. | Ephesians | Series: the epistle to the Ephesians
