  • Moses builds the Tabernacle: Israel Wanders in the Desert series

    The day has finally arrived. Roughly eight months after arriving at Mount Sinai, the Tabernacle is ready to be built. It took 80 days of listening to specific directions from God on the exact dimensions of each piece of furniture, how each covering was to look, and how all the objects in the courtyard were to look. It was time to put all the various parts together and build the Tabernacle where Yahweh would come to reside to be with His people. Listen to this week's podcast as we recount the story of the Glory of the Lord filling the Tabernacle and as Moses remembers the blessings of Yahweh as we wrap up the book of Exodus. Join us by turning to Exodus 40 and following along.

  • Moses goes up a mountain and comes down glowing: Israel Wanders in the Desert Series

    Moses is desperate. Yahweh is so fed up with the people of Israel that He will not allow His presence to be with them anymore. He is afraid they are so stubborn and sinful that His anger will break out and kill them. So Yahweh has decided not to lead the people of Israel into the promised land anymore. The people are devastated when they hear the news: God almighty will no longer be with them. What are they going to do? How can the people possibly take on the powerful tribes around them and the giant clans that await them in the promised land without the presence of God with them? They can't, and they know it, and Moses knows it. So Moses goes to the tent of meeting to intercede for the people. Will Yahweh listen? Will Moses find favor in the eyes of the Lord and change the mind of God so that He is willing to lead them and be with them once again? Listen to this week's story from Exodus 33 and 34 to find out.

  • Moses and the Golden Calf: Israel Wanders in the Desert Series
    Moses had been gone for a very long time. He had been gone for forty days and nights, for over a month, and the people wanted a leader. They wanted a god like the ones they left in Egypt. They were probably starting to doubt the love of Yahweh for them, and maybe some of them tried to take control of the nation, and now that Moses was gone, perhaps some of them saw their chance. So they confronted Aaron, and they demanded a new god. And so Aaron gave them a god. And what is about to happen next will lead to many deaths and nearly destroy them as a nation.

  • Moses Climbs a Mountain to Meet God: Israel Wanders in the Desert Series
    It has been three months since Israel crossed the Red Sea and left Egypt behind. It has been three months following Moses and the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. It has been three months of seeing Yahweh work miracle after miracle every day. It has been three months since the gift of manna was provided for them every day so they could eat in the desert. It has been three months of being tested by God to prepare them for this moment: the moment they meet God on Mount Sinai. Listen to this week's podcast to hear the exciting story of Yahweh descending on the mountain to meet Moses and to give Moses something that will change Israel and the history of the world forever.

  • Jethro Has a Great Idea: Israel Wanders in the Desert Series
    I will admit this next story is not full of battles between Israel and a clan of giants, or there aren't any miraculous moves of God to amaze. Instead, this is a simple story of Moses being stuck with a difficult task to perform and his father-in-law Jethro coming up with a brilliant solution. But this seemingly simple story is also about pride versus a teachable spirit and how willing we are to accept and listen to criticism. If you find criticism hard to take and would like to become better at taking feedback, then today's story is for you.

  • How to Live in Times of Cultural Chaos: Lessons from the Lives of Joash and Josiah
    I am unable to put out a podcast this week on our new series of Israel and their years of wandering in the desert. I am unable to because I am at one last camp for the summer season of 2022. This summer I told the story of Kings Joash and Josiah, and how their lives teach us many things. Some bad from Joash and some really good things from Josiah on how to live a life devoted to the Lord. I took those sermons and mushed them into one sermon when I have been asked to speak at churches this summer. Here is that sermon. I hope you find it encouraging and that it gives you practical ways to live courageously for the Lord in times of moral fog, or what I call cultural chaos.

  • Yahweh is My Banner: Israel Wanders in the Desert Series
    Israel is on the move, all 2 million souls. They are following Moses and Yahweh as they lead them away from Egypt towards the promised land. They move in stages, from one oasis to the next, making their way towards Mount Sinai. It felt like aimless wandering to the average Israelite but not to Yahweh. He had a purpose and a plan for this journey from the Red Sea to Mount Sinai and the giving of the Law. That purpose was to reveal the hearts of the Israelite people. To reveal whether they had soft hearts ready to obey or hard, selfish hearts bent on pleasing themselves. This week we hear the miraculous story of God giving His people water from a rock and how, in the end, the people proclaimed Yahweh-Nissi: The Lord is our Banner.

  • The Way of Faith or the Way of the Whine: Israel Wanders in the Desert Series
    This week we are going to start a new series. We are going to tell the story of Israel and its desert wanderings. We are starting today where the desert wanderings began: right after the victorious high of experiencing the miracle of crossing the Red Sea. Moses then leads roughly 2 million people to their first stop or station on the way to Mount Sinai to receive the Law. In today's story, we will hear the miracle of salty water turning sweet and bread falling from the sky. Listen to this week's episode to find out more.

  • Nehemiah and the Call to Obedience: The Ezra Nehemiah Story
    We come to the end of the story in Nehemiah, but sadly for Nehemiah, the obstacles he faces are not over. He is about to meet one of his most significant obstacles, one of the tallest mountains he has ever had to climb. King Artaxerxes called Nehemiah back to be his cupbearer once again, and for two years, he left to serve the King. But then he returned to Jerusalem, and the thought he was returning to a people reinvigorated to serving Yahweh. But instead, what he found was something completely different and some significant challenges. Listen to this week's podcast to find out.

  • Nehemiah and the Joy of the Lord is your Strength: The Ezra Nehemiah Story
    The walls are built, and the people are moving into Jerusalem to live safely behind the new walls. Things are going exactly to plan. And then Ezra reads the law. He reads the Pentateuch for 6 hours as the people stand and listen. And what happened next will shock you, but it will also remind you of the power of hearing scripture and how simply hearing God's words can change a life and a whole culture.
