Listen Later

In our eighth episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 17:8-18:27:

  • The important question & disagreement: is Christmas music okay before Thanksgiving?
  • Joshua appears—a key figure for later
  • Again: the significance of the staff
  • Amalek, part of Esau’s line—looking back to Genesis
  • The focus on obedience
  • The emphasis on the passage: Yahweh on Israel’s side
  • Douglas Stuart: “This verse does not teach the efficacy of prayer without ceasing but rather the fact that Israelite holy war was God’s war.”
  • The role of memory
  • Comparing Amalek with Jethro—who is Jethro?
  • Jethro as an example of the proper response to God
  • A reminder for our evangelism
  • The wisdom from Jethro
  • A multitude of people knowing the laws & having wisdom
  • Connections to the NT qualifications for elders
