Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. (Song of Solomon 1:3) *1/ "Thy Name" - Whose and what name? 2/ The reason thy name is as ointment poured forth - "Because of the savour of thy good ointments." 3/ How the name of Jesus is "as ointment poured forth. 4/ The cause of the churches love to Christ - "Therefore do the virgins love thee."* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the spiritual significance of the name of Jesus Christ, drawing a parallel between the holy anointing oil described in Exodus 30 and the sweet savour of Christ's character. By examining the seven elements of the tabernacle anointed with this unique oil, the exposition reveals how each aspect of Christ's person and work—such as his incarnation, fulfilment of the law, intercession, and atoning sacrifice—is equally precious and holy. The text emphasizes that the name of Jesus is like ointment poured forth because God has revealed it, making its healing and comforting properties available to believers. This revelation of Christ's fullness and suitability for sinners is presented as the direct cause of the church's love for him, as the Holy Spirit applies these truths to the hearts of the faithful.

Here is the bleak human condition away from God, with 23 evils that infect hearts. In the light of these, we consider the price paid by Christ of salvation, the extent of transformation in conversion, and how the opposite virtues should be growing in believers.

PAINT WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT!["Stop Looking at What You're Missing and Start Using What God Gave You"] Exodus 4:1-5 KJV Sarah Biffin was born in England in 1784 without arms or normally developed legs. As a young girl she entered the world of traveling exhibitions, where audiences watched her demonstrate remarkable abilities. Sarah learned to paint intricate miniature portraits by controlling her brush without hands. Her artistic talent eventually received serious recognition, professional instruction and royal patronage, and her work was exhibited at the Royal Academy. Her remarkable life provides the backdrop for a biblical question God asked Moses: "What is that in thine hand?" — Exodus 4:2 KJV My prayer is to challenge believers to stop concentrating on what they lack and surrender what God has already given them. I. STOP CRYING OVER WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE Your Limitation Does Not Have to Become Your Excuse. II. DON'T LET SOMEBODY ELSE'S LABEL BECOME YOUR LIMIT They Saw an Attraction—Somebody Else Saw an Artist. III. GIVE GOD WHAT YOU'VE GOT A Little Becomes Much When It Is Surrendered. Moses had a rod. David had a sling. A widow had a little oil. A boy had five loaves and two fishes. Sarah Biffin had a paintbrush she couldn't hold in a hand. What has God put in your life? Stop waiting until you have what somebody else has. PAINT WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT!

This sermon explores the threefold goal of Exodus as revealed in the final chapter: the creation of a new humanity, the dwelling of God among His people, and the constant guidance of the Savior. The preacher argues that redemption is not merely deliverance from sin but a transformative act that makes believers a new creation in Christ, echoing the creation patterns seen in the erection of the tabernacle. The text highlights the crisis of access to God, resolved by Jesus Christ who becomes the true Tabernacle and the place of meeting between the holy God and sinful man through His sacrifice. Finally, the sermon emphasizes the comfort of Christ's perpetual presence, likening the guiding cloud of the wilderness to Jesus' promise to be with His church always, directing believers through the means of grace and the local church toward their final glory.

Satan's Voice or a Soldier's Stand? Which Will You Choose? Are you sitting through the Christian life, or are you serving and standing like a soldier? In Ephesians 6:5-20, the apostle Paul moves from faithful service in our daily responsibilities to the reality of spiritual warfare. Believers are called to serve "as to the Lord," be strong in His might, put on the whole armour of God, pray always, and stand against the wiles of the devil. Pastor Ed Decker challenges us to examine which sound is shaping our lives: Satan's noise, fear, and deception, or the steady sound of a soldier who knows the truth, carries the shield of faith, uses the sword of the Spirit, and refuses to retreat. When the evil day comes, will you be sitting or soldiering?

Delivered to Depend Delivered, Yet Still Learning to Depend Numbers 7–13 Central Truth: God delivered Israel from Egypt, but He was still teaching them how to depend upon Him. His provisions were never intended to replace His presence, His promises, or His Word. This message follows Israel's preparation and early journey through the wilderness, revealing how God organized, guided, provided for, and corrected His redeemed people. By comparing the dates in Exodus and Numbers, we discover that God established the tabernacle, assigned responsibilities, and prepared the congregation before directing them to move. The cloud, silver trumpets, and tribal standards reminded Israel that they were not free to determine their own direction. They were to move when God said move, remain when He said remain, and faithfully fulfill the responsibilities He had given them. Yet, almost immediately, the people began complaining. Although God faithfully supplied manna, they became dissatisfied and longed for the food of Egypt. Deuteronomy 8 reveals that the manna was more than a meal; it was God's way of teaching them that life depends upon every word that proceeds from His mouth. Their craving for quail exposed a deeper problem. Psalm 106 explains that God gave them what they demanded but sent leanness into their souls. They received what they wanted, but their desires were pulling them away from the One they needed. The message challenges us to consider what we are exhausting ourselves to obtain and whether God's gifts have become more important to us than God Himself. The Lord also demonstrated His faithfulness by appointing seventy elders to help Moses carry the burden of leadership
