In Exodus 24, God commands Moses to gather the people and worship at a distance, and Moses offers a sacrifice and reads the Book of the Covenant aloud. The people respond with a promise of obedience to the Lord's commands. This chapter serves as a reminder of the holiness of God and the difficulty of being obedient to His commands. It also serves as a reminder of what the people of God learn in worship and fellowship and how we can be faithful to God in our lives of faith today.

In this section of Exodus, God warns the people of Israel of the consequences of not following His commands and sends an angel to guide them. As part of their covenant with God, the people are warned to not bow down to the gods of the other nations, and this foreshadows the struggle between God and the people that will dominate the rest of the Old Testament.

Today the Pastors explore a section of Exodus' legal code which includes a cyclical pattern of sevens, such as seven days of the week and seven years of letting the land rest. This pattern is a reminder of God's appointed times and a call to obedience, as well as a demonstration of generosity to the poor. Additionally, the festivals mentioned in the passage represent the people's reliance on God and provide an ongoing model for faith discipleship for the whole people.

This passage from Exodus 23 emphasizes the importance of truth-telling and justice for all, regardless of social status. It encourages disciples to resist the temptation to deceive or act out of partiality, as God will not acquit the guilty. This is a theme echoed throughout the Bible, calling Christians to be trustworthy witnesses and to pursue truth over self-advancement.

The law not only addresses what should be done when someone is hurt or injured, it also prescribes what should be done when someone's property is damaged or stolen. Then, as now, human nature tempts us to take from others or to press our own advantage. This, of course, breaks down our community and is brings severe consequences in the law.

Today's laws cover what to do when someone or their property is injured. The Pastors explore the difficult difference between the individuals in different hierarchies of ancient cultures and how these laws functioned in their society. Surprisingly, these laws are reimagined in the life of Jesus Christ, the one who takes injury upon himself for the sake of saving those who can't save themselves.
