Exodus 32 reveals both the depth of human sin and the unchanging mercy of God. Israel's rebellion proves our total inability to save ourselves, yet Moses stands as a mediator, pleading for grace based on God's glory and covenant promises. His intercession foreshadows the greater work of Jesus Christ, who perfectly mediates between God and sinners through His sacrificial death and continual intercession. Prayer, rightly understood, does not change God's eternal purpose but draws His people into communion with Him. Our hope rests not in our worthiness, but in the faithful God who saves through the one true Mediator, Jesus Christ.

Israel's golden calf reveals the danger of a restless heart that forgets God and turns to idols. Like the church at Ephesus, we are called to remember, repent, and return to our first love. Though the world grows increasingly hostile to the truth, our greatest threat is a cold heart that compromises God's Word. Christ offers mercy to all who repent and trust in Him. Let us cling to His sufficient Word, resist the idols of our age, and stand firm in faith, knowing that His grace is enough and His promises are sure even in the darkest times.

In this message we saw how the giving of the tablets of stone at Sinai testified to God's holiness, His will, and His covenant with His people. Written by the "finger of God," they revealed both the perfection of His law and the sinfulness of man, pointing us forward to Christ, the Word made flesh. In Him, the veil is removed, hearts of stone are replaced with hearts of flesh, and God's law is written anew within us. The law drives us to Christ, who fulfilled it perfectly, that we might have life in Him, the true Light of the world.

Deacon and Elder Candidate Daniel Nolker preaches on rejoicing in repentance from Psalm 32.

In Exodus 31:12–17, God commands Israel to keep the Sabbath as a sign of His covenant, a holy day set apart for rest and refreshment. This command pointed them to dependence upon God and served as a reminder of His role as Creator and Redeemer. For believers today, the Sabbath finds its fulfillment in the Lord's Day, when we gather to worship and rest in the finished work of Christ. The day is not a burden but a blessing, a foretaste of eternal rest. The challenge is clear: will we honor this day as holy, or treat it as common?

This sermon from Exodus 31:1–11 highlights God's sovereign calling of Bezalel and Oholiab to build the Tabernacle. Their appointment demonstrates that God not only calls but also equips His servants with wisdom, discernment, and skill to fulfill His purposes. These men serve as a type of Christ, the true Builder of God's house, the Cornerstone of the church, and the only One worthy to ascend the hill of the Lord. Believers, chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, are likewise called and equipped by the Spirit to serve God faithfully for His glory, not their own.

This sermon from Exodus 30:22–38 examines the holy anointing oil and salted incense, showing how they point to the person and work of Christ and the unifying, sanctifying ministry of the Holy Spirit. The oil's carefully measured spices symbolize aspects of Christ's perfection, bound together by the Spirit. The incense, salted as a sign of permanence, reflects the continual prayers of God's people made acceptable through Christ. Both carry a warning against misuse, underscoring the seriousness of holy worship. The passage calls believers to lives wholly consecrated to God—shaped by His Word, empowered by His Spirit, and devoted to His glory alone.

This sermon explored the significance of the bronze laver in Exodus 30:17–21, emphasizing its connection to the believer's ongoing cleansing through God's Word. While the blood of Christ secures our justification, the water of the Word sanctifies and prepares us for fellowship with God. The laver teaches us that daily communion with the Lord requires continual washing from the defilements of the world. With alarming cultural statistics showing a decline in the authority of Scripture among professing Christians, we are reminded of our urgent need to return to God's Word as our only sufficient, certain, and infallible standard of truth and life.

This sermon from Exodus 30:11–16 explored the census and atonement price commanded by God, emphasizing that every Israelite, rich or poor, was to offer the same amount—a half-shekel—as a symbol of belonging to God. This atonement price served as a reminder of their redemption and pointed forward to Christ, whose precious blood is the true price for our salvation. We were reminded that Scripture is our only sure standard, and that Christ is the only sufficient sacrifice. The message called us to examine whether we are truly counted among God's people, resting in the atonement He has fully provided.

This sermon examined Exodus 30:1–10 and the significance of the golden altar of incense. It highlighted the altar's construction, purpose, and placement in the tabernacle as typological of Christ's mediation. Drawing from the example of Nadab and Abihu, it warned against worship that is unauthorized and self-willed. The message emphasized that true worship must be continual, grounded in the finished work of Christ, and conducted according to God's Word. It concluded with a call for self-examination and a renewed commitment to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, offering only what He has commanded and accepting no substitutes.
