Outline: 00:...

In this Bible Study, we look at Exodus 29 and the consecration process of the Hebrew High Priest, Aaron (and his sons). We look at the different elements of the ordination process.

Ultimately we see the point of not only the high priest, the Tabernacle, the book of Exodus, and the entire Bible is...

In this Bible Study, we look closely at God’s instructions for the creation of the High Priest’s garments, the outfit that Aaron (the first Jewish High Priest) would have worn.  We look at every element, including the undergarments, the tunic, the robe, and the ephod (what is an Ephod???)  We also look at the two shoulder pieces, the breast piece, the sash, and the turban (with the gold engraved p...

In this study, we look at the outer courtyard of the Tabernacle as well as the Bronze Alter (also known as the Brazen Alter).  Additionally, we look at the oil used to keep the lampstand  lit inside the Tabernacle Holy Place.

We see Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu (as well as 70 elders) appear before the Lord for the ratifying of the Old Covenant (also known as the Mosaic Covenant) which contained the 10 commandments as well as the Book of the Covenant. We also see this same group have a meal in the presence of the Lord! Finally, Moses travels up to the top of Mount Sina...

In this study we look at the three annual festivals that God calls for Israel to celebrate, all in remembrance of the things God has done (and in thanksgiving for His provision of the harvest).

What does the Bible say about Slavery?   This week we look at Exodus 21:1-11 which holds the ordinances for the Israelites on how to deal with their Hebrew slaves (Jews that were slaves within the Jewish camp).  To better understand what the Bible has to say on the subject we additionally look at Leviticus 25:39-43 and Deuteronomy 15:12-18.

The 10th commandment calls us to not lust after what our neighbor has.  In our modern day, our “neighbor” is far more than the couple that live next door, our neighbors are everyone we know.  Coveting after what they have, desiring it for ourselves leads only to harm and further sin.  Join us as we dive into this final commandment in Exodus 20.17. Outline: 01:19 - Exo 20.17 03:33 - Deut 5.21 04:35...

The 9th commandment calls Israel to “not give false testimony against thy neighbor.”  That command holds true for us today, not to lie but to speak truth.  A lie can be more than just not telling the truth, it can also be misleading or intentionally deceiving.  The Bible calls us to reflect Christ and He is truth! Outline: 01:21 - Exodus 20.16, “You shall not give false testimony against your neig...

The 8th commandment calls us not to steal. In this Bible study, we look at what the Bible has to say about possessions. We will also look at ways we steal, that we may justify as being fine.

Outline: 01:49 - what is adultery? 02:04 - Foundational verses o...

The sixth commandment seems pretty cut and dry, “You shall not murder” (NIV), “Thou shalt not kill” (KJV), but is it really that simple? Is capital punishment murder? Is killing someone during war murder? Is abortion murder? What does Jesus have to say about murder? All this and more we discuss in this week’s through the Bible study of Exodus chapter 20. Outline: 02:31 - Exodus 20.13, “You shall n...

What does it mean to honor your father and mother? What did it mean for the Israelites in Moses' day? What does it mean for us today? It may be an easy command for some, but not everyone is blessed with the best parents. Join us as we dig into Exodus 20.12 and the 5th commandment. Outline: 01:14 - Exodus 20.12 01:59 - A dividing point in the 10 commandments, 1-4 relates to our relationship w/...

The fourth commandment calls Israel (and us today) to observe the Sabbath and keep it Holy; what does that mean for us today?  What did that mean for Israel in the ancient Near East?  When should we “observe” the sabbath and what does it mean to observe the sabbath?  This and more we discuss in this week’s Exodus chapter 20.8-11 study. Outline 01:13 - comparing the 4th commandment between Exodus 2...

The third commandment calls us not to misuse the Lord’s name, in other translations it tells us not to take the Lord’s name in vain. Blasphemy is verbal or written reproach of God’s name, character, work, or attributes. We are called to honor God’s name with the respect and reverence that He deserves. In this video, Dave talks about why blasphemy is such a bad thing and what the consequences are o...

The second commandment directs us to not have or worship any graven images. What does that mean? What did that mean to Israel in Moses day? What does that mean for us today? In this video we unpack the 2nd commandment and also look at God's admission of being a "jealous God;" what does that mean and why is the creator of the universe jealous of anything? Outline: 01:45 - Exodus 20.4-...
