Exodus 7 – The Rivalry Begins

Image
It continues to be a wonderful task to exposit the Old Testament. I preached through the book of Exodus in the second half of 2018 verse by verse and paragraph by paragraph. We left no word unread and did not skip the exposition of any section. It is a wonderful exercise for myself to go back now, chapter by chapter, and review the wonderful truth of this book. I pray that it is as beneficial for you, the reader, as it has been for me. More resources can be found at www.fbcroxana.com God desires all the peoples of earth to fear His name and assign Him the glory that is due Him. Yet the nations continually turn away from Him. Through the Exodus of His chosen people, Israel, all the nations would hear and tremble before Him. Whether they worshipped Him and submitted to His sovereignty or rejected Him and hardened their hearts, they would still hear of Him, that by His mighty hand He had brought them out of Egypt, the most powerful nation on earth. In the same way, God would mak...

But the LORD had desired Pharaoh to refuse to let the people of Israel go. So now God would begin to show His wonders in the land of Egypt so that Pharaoh would let the people go and all the people of Egypt and Israel would know that the LORD alone is God. 2 God spoke further to M...

I pray that it is as beneficial for you, the reader, as it has been for me. More resources can be found at www.fbcroxana.com God commissioned Moses to deliver the people of Israel from Egypt. It would not be a simple matter of simply asking the Pharaoh to release the people and him doing it. The LORD told Moses that Pharaoh would refuse and harden his heart. Pharaoh would not recognize the LORD’s sovereignty and dominion until God caused all His wonders to occur. The people of Israel had met with Moses and believed that He and Aaron had been sent to free them. 1 And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharao...

Moses was afraid to confront the people and to take on Pharaoh, but God would not be swayed. His choice of Moses would stand. 1 Then Moses said, “What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’” 2 The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.” 3 Then He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses f...

To the Church of Laodicea: Repent and Be Zealous (Rev 3:14-22)

Image
What makes the seven letters to the churches special is that they were dictated by the Lord Jesus Himself. It was a privilege to preach through all seven letters from October 27-December 8, 2019. What I have attempted to do here is not a formal exposition of the text.  I have tried to simply summarize the text, its theology, and its application as an aid to study and meditation. I pray that you, dear reader, find it helpful as you ponder the text. Revelation 3:14 -  “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:” Summary:  Jesus told John to write to the messenger of the church in Laodicea and tell them that this message is sent by the veritable, faithful, and true witness, who is the source of the creation of God. Theology:  Jesus is identified as the Amen (the one who is true and who speaks the truth), the faithful and true witness (who cannot falsify His findi...
