Scripture: Leviticus 23, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 08

God gave Israel a rhythm for worship - daily, weekly, annually and generationally - because all of life is intended for worship. We get out of rhythm when we listen to another song - life is food, or houses, or career, or sex, etc. We get back in rhythm when we consciously, actively seek to praise God through all that we say, do, think and feel because He is worthy of our entire lives.

Scripture: Exodus 32-34, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 07

All of us are tempted to make God in our image. We want a God that we can control, one who will always approve of our actions and give us whatever we want. The Bible calls that idolatry, and there are severe consequences for it; the path of idolatry leads to destruction and death. However, God is infinitely gracious. He is eager to forgive, He always keeps His promises, and He even lavishes His blessings on undeserving people like you and me.

Scripture: Exodus 32, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 07

What fool would make a statue of a calf and worship it? Turns out, it's us! We are as prone as the Israelites to try to reduce our God to an idol we can control. Let us learn from their failure and pain to turn from our golden calves and cling to the only God who Saves.

Scripture: Exodus 32-34, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 07

There are many forms of idolatry, and we are all prone to one, or more, or many. Our chosen idols promise life but deliver death every time. So why are we so foolish? Because we believe the idols' lies and we want a god we can control, one who will give us what we want when we want it; in other words, a god in our own image. In God's grace, He both exposes our foolishness, forgives us and restores us when we crush our golden calves and turn from the lie to the One True God.

Scripture: Exodus 19-20, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 06

God's laws are not arbitrary: They reflect His holiness and His love for His people. His commands are designed for our own good, because we are created to have a relationship with Him and to represent Him to the world. But we also have a problem: We are unable and unwilling to obey His laws. To solve that problem, we need what the law cannot provide us. We need the forgiveness and power that only Jesus can provide.

Scripture: Exodus 19-20, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 06

Rules without relationship bring rebellion. But, a relationship without rules brings frustrations. God sets the 10 Commandments to separate a people to himself and bless their lives. However, the rules reveal our hearts.

Scripture: Exodus 20, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 06

Something deep inside us instinctively resists rules. Rules feel inherently restrictive. But God's rules are not arbitrary or capricious. God's rules are rooted in His deep love for us, and His desire for relationship with us. His rules are for our good and lead to best life possible and our greatest freedom, but we can joyfully obey only through His enablement - not through our own determination but through the power of His indwelling Spirit.

Scripture: Exodus 15-18, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 05

In Exodus 15-18, we see God meet the physical needs of His people while also addressing their greatest need of trusting in Him.

Scripture: Exodus 15-18, Series: Kingdom of Priests, Series Order: 05

Even though we often find yourselves in the messy middle of life where the reality of life's circumstances haven't at all lived up to our initial expectations and hopes, Exodus 15-18 teaches us that God can heal our bitterness, refresh our fatigue, provide our satisfaction, overcome our adversaries, and spread our burdens. In fact, the greatest miracles of God may actually be right in the midst of the messy middle of life as He shapes and prepares us internally for what He will later do externally.
