Dwelling Place: The Bible for Moms

Because God's Word is a progressive revelation, we can use the New Testament to reveal more of God's plan. Leviticus and the priests that are consecrated are but a shadow of the perfect High Priest who came and is now seated at the right hand of God, interceding for us. We can be grateful for all He has purchased by His blood, a once and for all sacrifice for those who believe! Today's Scripture:...

A lot of rules... or a proven path to restore us to God's Presence? As we continue to walk through the book of Leviticus and learn about the 5 types of sacrifices, we can be thankful Jesus's sacrifice was once and for all. Believers are now restored to God and have the hope of eternity, but it is only by the grace of God and nothing we have done. Christian parents can use the pattern of repentance...

The book of Leviticus might not seem to have a lot to do with motherhood on the surface, but we think there are powerful connections to be made. Listen to hear God's heart in the opening chapters of this book of The Bible. And all of what we learn will lead us to be immensely grateful for the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ!

The people of Israel have sinned against the LORD. What will God do? Will He abandon His promises to the Patriarchs? You already know the answer--He won't. He was faithful to His Word then, and He is faithful to His Word today. And, just as the Israelites have a choice to walk in obedience to a God that longs to dwell with them, we have the opportunity to draw near to the God of all grace. And you...

What sets Christians apart from other people? There are many qualities that do, but in this passage, Moses claims that God's presence with His people is what sets them apart from every other nation on earth. We agree! Then later, there is a promise of blessing that goes with God's presence... and we promise, every mom needs it. Today's Reading: Exodus 33-36 Scripture Read or Referenced: Exodus 33:...

After God provides the guidance of the 10 Commandments, He gives additional rules for helping the Israelites prosper as a society. They are to be set apart from the other societies around them. Though there are many laws we are no longer required to follow, if we look to the heart of the wisdom in God's laws, it can guide us for today.

From representative government to the 10 commandments, Exodus is so full of wisdom... and it truly applies to us as Christian moms! If you feel like people are surrounding you, and always begging for help with their problems, Moses can relate! Let's take his lead and draw near to God, even when others stand far off. Today's Scripture: Exodus 17-20 Do you need some encouragement regarding a difficu...

When you think of the Exodus, do you ever think of God proudly saying, "Remember when I did that?" The Exodus is mentioned ALL OVER THE BIBLE! It is a monumental example of God's power to save and it points us to the redemptive work Jesus did on the cross. As you listen to how God guided, protected, and rescued the Israelites, remember that whatever you are battling in your family, the LORD fights...

I know I've had to talk fast recently to get everything in, but I slow down just a little bit as we prepare to leave Egypt with the Israelites. It's a solemn exit and full of grieving for all who did not heed the word of the LORD. God gives specific instructions for honoring the Passover, but there are certainly things left unsaid. If you are in a season of waiting on God for guidance, be encourag...

In Exodus 7-9, we see a curious tension as we're told that God will harden Pharaoh's heart, but we're also told that Pharaoh hardens his own heart. Which is it? As usual, we'll look to the rest of God's Word to give us clarity... and even when it is hard to understand, we will trust that His ways are higher than ours. We're not coming to the Word to confirm our view of God, we are coming to learn...

The Burning Bush exchange between God and Moses is infamous. Moses' reservations to following the Lord can certainly resonate with us today.

God's presence provides favor and blessing... right? Is that biblical? We can see that in some passages, but not in all. What if God's presence IS our greatest blessing?

It can be hard to go through and say goodbye to these characters...

The life of Jacob fills Sunday School classrooms, and it's for good reason! It has a lot to train us about life--whether we're young children or raising children.

Most of all, will we walk with God, knowing His presence doesn't free us from trials, but is absolutely worth it all? Looking for our free Bib...

Surrender. We talked about it in our prep episode #2 ( Listen here if you missed it! ) and we'll keep coming back to it again and again.
