Having a successful season of singleness might be the most important way to have a successful life-long relationship.

Our sin has a cost, in our own lives and others. All sin leads toward death, and our great God is the source of life. He wants us to leave behind the things that harm us.

(Ex 27, Ex 38, Lev 1-7, Heb 8:5a, Rev 21:22, Heb 9:22, Acts 17:25, John 1:4, John 14:6, James 1:14-15, Eph 2:1, Eph 2:4-6, Heb 9:26, Heb 9:28, Heb 7:27, Eph 5:2, Is 1:18, Rom 12:1, 2 Cor 5:17)

God spends 25% of the book of Exodus explaining how to build the Tabernacle. Why was it so important then, and why is it important to us now?

(Exodus 25:8-9, Exodus 13:21-22, Exodus 40:36-37, Matthew 27:50-51, John 16:7, John 14:16-18, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Matthew 28:20, Romans 8:38-39, John 14:2-3, Revelations 21:2-4)

Nathan risks everything to confront David with his sin, and the result is deep confession and repentance. David is no longer hiding and manipulating. How are we similarly called to speak truth into the lives around us?

(2 Sam 12:1-13, Eph 4:32, I Peter 3:8-9, Jn 17:11, I Sam 13:4, Acts 13:22, Luke 5:31-32, 2 Sam 7:16, Prov 27:6, Matt 7:1, Matt 7:3-5, Matt 5:9, Matt 18:15, James 4:25-26, Prov 18:2, Jn 16:8, Gal 6:1, Matt 5:23-24, Rom 12:18, Heb 12:14)

Now that the Hebrew people are free from slavery, they find themselves at the foot of Mt. Sinai, where God gives them the 10 commandments, and the law. What purpose do these old rules have for Jesus followers?

(Ex 20:19, Eph 2:6-10, I Jn 1:5, James 1:17, Matt 9:12, Matt 5:21-22, Matt 5:27-28, Gal 3:23-25, Rom 8:3, Matt 22:34-40, Jn 13:34-35, 2 Cor 5:17)

As Moses leads his people into the desert, God provides manna and quail for His people. He insists that they take one rule very seriously. Rest.

(Ex 16:13-26, Matt 5:17-18, Gal 3:24-27, Matt 6:25-34, Ex 20:8-11, Gen 2:2-3, Is 40:28, Matt 12:8, Heb 4:9-11)

Pharaoh repeatedly tells Moses he won’t let God’s people go, and in turn, his heart is hardened. Where are we repeatedly saying no to God in our own lives?

(Exodus 5-13)
