Exodus 32:1-35

Pastor Andy deHoog

The Golden Calf

Because sin (wandering from God) comes so easily and is so serious, we need a mediator who can truly stand in our place.

Exodus 30:1-31:18 
Pastor Andy deHoog
Smoke, shekels, a sink, spices, skills, and Sabbath. What do these all have in common?
In a word: worship. Worship forms us to trust God so that we stop striving and
learn to rest in Him.

Pastor Andy provides clarification regarding the reference Brent Chapman made to the decision to remove 8 churches from the Fellowship (at 18 minutes 55 seconds in the sermon recording).

Ephesians 4:1-3
Brent Chapman, Regional Director of Fellowship Pacific
Let us walk worthy. Let us walk humbly. Let us walk together...
boldly forward, never alone.

Exodus 28:1-29:46 
Pastor Andy deHoog
As God continues to establish His relationship with His people and a way of life centered around worship, He now provides instructions to set apart and clothe Aaron and his sons as priests.
The overarching purpose of these priestly garments is stated in Exodus 28:2 and 28:40: “...for glory and for beauty.”

Exodus 26-27
Guest Speaker: Stacy Falk
God gives Moses instructions on how to construct the tabernacle, the altar of burn offering and the court of the tabernacle. Why?

Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12 -19
Pastor Andy deHoog
As Jesus approaches Jerusalem for the last time, he instructs two of his disciples to obtain a specific donkey, telling them that if anyone questions them, they are to say simply, “The Lord needs it.” Cloaks are placed on the donkey and spread on the ground, along with palm branches, creating a kind of ‘royal red carpet’ as Jesus rides into Jerusalem as the humble, yet triumphant, King of Israel. The crowds shout praises, including the word “Hosanna!”, which means “Save us, please!” 
The whole city is stirred, and the people ask, “Who is this?” 
The answer given is, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

Exodus 25:1-40
Pastor Andy deHoog
As a result of the fall (Genesis 3), the common human condition apart from hope in Christ is that we are separated from God, deaf to the voice of God, starving for the Word of God, and blind to the light of God's face.
In the tabernacle God restores glimpses of His presence - His word, His life, and His light - fulfilled in Christ and restored forever in eternity.

Exodus 24:3-8
Pastor Andy deHoog
Our good intentions are no match for God's perfect action demonstrated in the sacrificial blood of Christ.

Exodus 23:10-33
Pastor Andy deHoog
God redeems us to root us - in His people, His presence, and His purpose.
