If you've even built a plastic car model or wooden airplane, you know how important it is to carefully follow the instructions. If you don't, you end up with a mess. It was especially important for the Israelite's to build the Tabernacle precisely. Why? There are some very good reasons, and they apply in our lives today as well.

In Exodus twenty-four, we see why God has laws, and why we need to understand their purpose today. And their purpose is vitally important in the age we live in.

In much of the early part of the Old Testament, we see God laying out a long series of rules and regulations for His people. Ever wonder why there were so many? It seems like there would be no way of adhering to all of them! God has a very good reason for His rules, and we'll explore that reason as we study Exodus chapter twenty three.

If we really got justice, which means what we deserve, we would be in big trouble. Instead, we get mercy, through the blood of Christ shed on the cross. Our study today is in Exodus twenty-three

Justice is a pretty hot topic these days. We usually cry out for it, when we see someone doing something objectionable. But when we're in the wrong, we're not so quick to ask for justice are we? We want mercy! What does God's word have to say on the topic of justice?

Every culture has their own way of dealing with crime - some do a good job, some not so much. As we wrap up our study of Exodus twenty-one today, we'll examine what it was like during the days of Moses and the lessons we can learn from them.

Today on Bridging the Gap we're going to see what being a bond servant means to our Lord, and actually to be a servant is to be like Christ. That's not the message you'll hear in the world, but you will find that in the Word.

We find ourselves today in Exodus chapter twenty, where we'll be discussing the Ten Commandments. There are quite a number of questions that surround these commandments. And many people today actually claim they have no relevance anymore. That's astonishing! I mean, did you ever think you'd see the day when God's laws would be effectively kicked out of mainstream society? It's happening!

It's hard to hear someone tell you that you don't measure up. But that's precisely what we need to hear in order to become right with God. Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will point out that God's law says we don't measure up, and we need Christ! We're in Exodus twenty, concentrating on verses twelve through twenty six.

We'll be looking at Exodus chapter twenty today, where we find - you guessed it - the Ten Commandments. It doesn't take long to see that we've broken God's law, but that's intended to drive us to Christ. Today's message is part of our series through Exodus called "Deliverance". God delivered Moses and His people, and He can deliver you too!
