Christ Community Church (Johnson City, TN)

Things WE feel sure of for ALL Y’ALL … and why. Y'all is a contraction of you-all and is the main 2nd person plural pronoun in Southern American English. The earliest attestations of y'all are found in the Southern Literary Messenger (Richmond, VA) in 1856 and 1858. Things WE desire for YOU’UNS … and why. Yinz is a derivation from the original Scots-Irish "Yin(s)” - meaning you ones,...

The reality of IMMATURITY. Sluggish to hear. Useless to help. Untrained to discern. Recommit to MATURITY. The risk of APOSTASY. The makeup of the visible church. The mission of the church. The covenant children of the church. The warnings in the Word. The line of demarcation… at what point? The grace of pain.

God responds to Moses' complaint at the end of chapter 5, restating his covenant purposes.

The Pattern: Every High Priest (1-4)       Acting as Mediators Appointed by God The Perfect: The Priest-Son (5-10) Foretold & Forever (5-6) Supplication & Suffering (7-8) Complete & Consecrated (9-10)

Moses goes to Pharaoh on behalf of the Lord - but Pharaoh doesn't know the Lord and makes it all worse for Israel. How do the people respond? How does Moses respond?

Jesus, our Great High Priest with God with sympathy without sin So, let us Keep our confession, consistently Go to God, confidently

The Lord's Supper

Rest. A promise for the Weary. RestLESSness. A reality for the Disobedient. The Word of God… And the REST or WRATH of God. The power to JUDGE. The precision to PENETRATE. The purpose to EXPOSE.

Moses continues with his questions/excuses. He then obeys and goes - and the people believe the Lord.

WCF 8: Of Christ the Mediator

Be afraid … but rest assured. Rest from works… but work at resting. Let us therefore strive … A rhythmed life of Sabbath rest. A realized (not over-realized) theology of work/rest. A repentant relationship with exhaustion and fear.

Moses meets with the Lord in the burning bush on the Mountain of God.

1. Take Note...(A Lesson from the Past) 2. Take Care...(A Warning for the Present)

Moses is born - hidden by the faith of his parents - and then raised in Pharaoh's household. God is raising up a rescuer for his people.

Notes

2.5-16 The argument. Jesus did everything necessary to fully deliver, not angels, but the offspring of Abraham. 2.17 He had to be made like us in every respect, so that he might be nothing like us. 2.18 He had to be made like us in every respect, so that he might be just like us.

We start into Exodus today, discussing the continuing multiplication of God's people even amidst increasing and persistent wicked opposition.

It HAD to be this way… To bring us to glory. It HAD to be this way... To make us holy. It HAD to be this way… To destroy the power/fear of death.

A bit of chatter about different contextual realities in our lives, personal and ministry. And then... what book is next?
