Legacy Baptist Church

Israel comes out of Egypt. On that day God led them in a very different direction than we would expect. From this we drawn some important lessons about the nature of following God.

As we come into the season of thanksgiving, we pause to reflect upon the nature of peace, of contentment, of a healthy mind, and of a healthy relationship with the Lord.

In Exodus 13 God calls for the nation to sanctify the firstborn of man and beast unto God. This initiates a memorial in Israel, but also furthers progressive revelation regarding the nature of the concept of "firstborn" in the BIble. As with all themes, they point to Jesus Christ in their fullness.

We come to the 4th and final message about prayer. We have sought to understand prayer's manner, confidence, and content. Now we seek to understand prayers results, in order that we might orient ourselves to what we can, and cannot, expect in and through prayer.

Exodus 12:40 is the culmination of 400 years of God's promises. Through it we learn this simple, enduring, and essential lesson of God's character: God keeps His promises.

We have learned of the manner of prayer. We have learned of our confidence in prayer. This week we consider the testimony of the Word of God regarding the topics and genres of prayer.

For several weeks we have keyed in on the prophetic implications of the feasts of Passover and Unleavened bread. These are 2 of 7 total feasts that dictate the Jewish religious calendar. Within our interpretative framework, we believe each feast holds prophetic significance. We consider this together.

When we read about the nature of prayer, we find that its inherent design instills in God's children a deep confidence that is intended to overshadow all of our petitions. We talk about it today.

The feast of Passover is prophetically reflective of Jesus' death on the cross. The feast of Unleavened Bread is also prophetically reflective. We talk about the fulfillment of this feast in our time together.
