Broadcaster: Michiana Covenant Presbyterian Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 5/7/2017

Bible: Exodus 19:16-20:26; Hebrews 13

Length: 46 min.

Overview: -Sung Psalm- 97-----Last week we heard God say to Israel- -Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine- and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.- -19-5-6------The Ten Commandments are the heart of what it means to obey God-s voice and keep his covenant. Therefore, to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation means to be characterized by this Law.----Let me put it another way- when you live a life characterized by these commandments - when this Law -this Torah- is written on your heart, then you are living a life that is in harmony with the One who created all things.-----I-ve noticed over the years that when I live this way, life is good. -No, it-s not that everything goes my way - it's not the health-and-wealth gospel that you hear from prosperity preachers. Rather, when I live this way, I find myself in harmony with God, with others, with all creation, and with myself.----And, not surprisingly, when I don-t live this way, I-m not in harmony with God, others, creation, or myself.----And - here-s the important part - you can-t isolate the way you treat other people from the way you treat God....

Title: The Book of the Covenant I: Murder and Slavery (Ex. 21)

Subtitle: Exodus

Speaker: Peter J. Wallace

Broadcaster: Michiana Covenant Presbyterian Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 5/14/2017

Bible: Exidus 21; Matthew 5:17-48

Length: 54 min.

Overview: -Sung Psalm- 1-----Exodus 20-23 is the -Book of the Covenant- -which Moses will read in Exodus 24-. The Book of the Covenant is God-s basic direction to Israel to show them how they are to live as his people.----The Book of the Covenant in Exodus 21-23 consists of particular rulings that are now written down in order to guide the judges of Israel in establishing righteousness and justice in the land. ----No one would have read this as a -statute book- containing the precise verdict that every judge must enforce. After all, the statutes in the Book of the Law are woven together with the story of Israel coming to Sinai. ----The Law - the Torah - combines the narrative of salvation -the gospel- together with God-s commandments and precepts. So a wise judge will understand the principles of the Law in the context of the gospel, so that he can apply them appropriately to the cases that come before him.
