"Trust the Process" Exodus 7:1-12
7 days ago
7 days ago
Episode 51
Text: Exodus 7:1-12
Title: “Trust the Process”
Theme: Obedience
Key Verse: Exodus 7:6
Process- “a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end:”
Trust is vital in our relationship with God. It is the key to not only faithfulness but intimacy.
• Why do you think trust is so vital to intimacy with God?
• What are the dangers of physically being faithful but not trusting Him?
Introduction:
• Who: Moses & Aaron
• What: The Contest with Pharoah (second demand)
• Where: Egypt
• When: Before the Exodus
• Why: Fulfillment of God’s plan of Deliverance
• How:
A. Relinquish
• Relinquish “voluntarily cease to keep or claim; give up:”
• Why is it so difficult for us to do this?
o People still want to think there is good in man.
o We have a hard time, even those who believe “All have sinned and come short”
B. Reliance v.2,3
• “hardened” is a figurative word that means “twisted” … it means God was going to get out of Pharoah what He wanted. It doesn’t mean Pharoah was a really good guy but God made him evil so He could beat him.
• Moses and Aaron needed to trust in God and only God.
• What are some battles we have to fight after surrendering when we are actually doing the task?
C. Resilience v. 4-7
• Score = 20. Moses was 80 and Aaron was 83.
• Pharoah refused to listen.
• Resilience – “the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness:”
• Egypt would know that it was the Lord God who would deliver Israel.
Outline: answer but with a verse, and let’s write down in our journals.
1. What is the Process here in Exodus 7?
2. How can this be related to God’s Will today?
3. How can we Relinquish ourselves to God? (give a scripture)
4. How can we better Rely upon God? (give a scripture)
5. How can we have Resilience when doing god’s will regardless of the outcome?

Sunday Jun 16, 2024
Sunday Jun 16, 2024
Episode 50
Title: Our Passover
Text: 1 Corinthians 5:7; Exodus 12:1-13
Theme: Jesus Christ is our Passover
Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 5:7
1 Corinthians 5:7 7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Exodus 12:1-13
3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Type – “A divinely appointed illustration of some scriptural truth.”
Derived from Greek word “tupos” – impression, stamp, pattern, or form
“A type must never be used to teach a doctrine, but only to illustrate a doctrine elsewhere explicitly taught.” – Dr. J. Edwin Hartill
The Passover
“To set forth the great truth of the whole Bible, the deliverance of man from the bondage and slavery to sin and the world.” - Dr. Tom Wallace, Digest of the Old Testament.
The older I get, three things I realize more and more:
- Life is precious
- Shortness of life
- Survival of life
- The enemy is real (Devil, World, Flesh)
- Spirit
- Soul
- Self
- God is Love. His Grace and Mercy
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,”- Eph 2:4
Introduction: Exodus 12:1-13
- Who?
- Israel
- What?
- The Passover
- Where?
- Egypt
- When?
- 1446 B.C.
- Why?
- To deliver the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt
- The 10th and final plague
- Water turned to blood
- Frogs infested the land
- Lice throughout the land
- Grievous swarm of flies
- Cattle of the Egyptians died, but the Israelites cattle lived
- Boils to man and beast
- Hail
- Locust
- Darkness
- The Firstborn slain
Psalm 78:49-51 King James Version (KJV)
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
What is the type of this story? What is the truth that is set forth?
“To set forth the great truth of the whole Bible, the deliverance of man from the bondage and slavery to sin and the world.” - Dr. Tom Wallace, Digest of the Old Testament.
The deliverance of man from the bondage of sin.
1 Timothy 1:15 KJV: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:”
Outline: “Our Passover”
Exodus 12:1-13
- The Prison
Exodus 2:23 23And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
- 70 people went into Egypt, now they are numbered at over 2 million
- Joseph died, there was a new Pharaoh, and the people were enslaved
- You can divide Exodus up into three parts
- Captivity (1-12)
- Deliverance (13-18)
- Consecration (19-40)
The Prison –Type of sin’s bondage
- They were in slavery – in bondage - They could barely bear their own burdens
- They did not fight, join, or go to man’s methods, they went God’s way through the “Exodus”
- Sin has this world in bondage – The sin problem must be dealt with
- Only God can provide a way out of bondage. Jesus Christ our Lord
(The Penalty)
- Israel was not only prisoners, but they were where they were as a penalty for their sin
- Turn to Ezek. 20:33-38
33 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God. 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
- Israel had something the Egyptians didn’t have, they had a light. They had the knowledge of God and His promises, yet still they sinned. They worshipped the gods of the Egyptians, they were sinners.
The Penalty (Israel’s sin) –Type of man outside of Christ
- Israel never got out of Egypt, that is why some of them wanted to go back
- They were contaminated
- “For all have sinned and come short” (“sin in sin”)
2 Corinthians 5:21 King James Version 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
- The Passover
- Up to this point there were 9 other plagues, Israel had been spared. But, they still had to be Redeemed.
- They were sinful slaves under condemnation and the only way for them to be saved was to meet God’s requirements; which was the blood being applied to their home, the blood of the lamb without Spot or blemish.
- They were to take the blood of the lamb and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post. (Shape of a Cross)
- Notice: This was specific to the home. They were not segregated. They were to apply the blood to their home. If it was a small family, they could join together.
- The little ones were not left behind
The Passover – Type of Jesus Christ, our Passover
- Exodus – “The way out”
- “To set forth the great truth of the whole Bible, the deliverance of man from the bondage and slavery to sin and the world.” - Dr. Tom Wallace, Digest of the Old Testament.
Hebrews 10:9-13
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
(The Payment)
- God is very specific, a lamb without spot or blemish, male of the first year
- There had to be blood shed.
- The blood needed to be applied
The Payment (first born slain) – Type of sin’s payment.
- All the first born were slain
- Calvary was a dark place
- The Purge
- They were to take the leaven out of their homes and eat unleavened bread for 7 days
- Leaven – “evil” You have to stop the leavening process or the bread just keeps rising higher and higher “PURGED”
The Purge – Type of consecration
1 Corinthians 5:7 7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:
Leaven – “evil” You have to stop the leavening process or the bread just keeps rising higher and higher “PURGED”
O.T. Days after the feast of the Passover they would have the feast of unleavened bread. So, Paul is saying here, that Christ is our Passover, and that we should purge the leaven and be a new lump.
The Pardon
- The New Year
- God actually changes the calendar in Exodus 12 for Israel in the beginning f the 7th month
- Six months had passed
- Based on the Passover, there was a new beginning
The Pardon (The new year)– Type of Salvation, 6 is man’s number. After 6 months, God started a new calendar. Old things are passed away.
Conclusion:
- The Prison
- The Passover
- The Purge

"The Misconception of Full time Christian Ministry" Acts 1:8
Monday Jun 10, 2024
Monday Jun 10, 2024
If you grew up in Church like me, maybe you have heard the term "Full-time Christian Ministry (or service)" ... this is a term used to describe people who are Pastors, evangelists, or Missionaries (who have gone abroad). All these are wonderful, but the question is, can a person who goes to school, works a 9 to 5 secular job (any job for that matter), and lives what constitutes a "normal" life in their current culture, be in "Full-time ministry"? The answer is Yes.
The general misconception is that to be considered someone who is in full-time Christian ministry/service you have to be a Pastor, Evangelist, an overseas missionary, or work full-time for a Church or Christian organization. Although those things are all considered full-time...those who have fully surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and are living as Jesus Disciples; those who learn from Jesus; and those who live life as He did... are also considered "full-time" in Christian service.

My own Adventure to find Solitude
Saturday Mar 30, 2024
Saturday Mar 30, 2024
Have you ever wanted to get away? Have you ever felt that you are in a rut and perhaps some alone with God is your best option? This week I decided to embark on my own personal adventure to find solitude. I had west to the mountains of North Carolinato spend some alone time with God and was taught some wonderful life lessons that I wanted to share with you

"Put up your Sword" John 18:11

Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Episode 47
"Put up your sword" John 18:11
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
- Who: Peter
- What: Cutting off the ear of Malchus
- Where: The Garden of Gethsemane
- When: Before the Crucifixion
- Why: Judas betrayal of Jesus
- How: with a sword
- How much:
I. Peter’s Troubling Response
- He responded in a way that was contrary to the big picture.
- The difference cups in Scripture
- Cup of Salvation: Psalm 116:13
- Cup of Consolation (comfort): Jeremiah 16:17
- Cup of Joy: Psalm 23:5
- Cup of Judgment: Matthew 26:39
- He bore this for us on the cross
- Those who reject Christ must drink this cup
- He, sinless and in perfection, drank this cup for us and bore our sins (Hebrews 12:2)
- Wise (understanding of big picture)
- The difference cups in Scripture
Wisdom: “having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment”
Jesus foretells His Death and Resurrection: Matt 16:21
II. Peter’s Thoughtless Response
Sober (keeping your head despite circumstances)
Jesus tells the Disciples that one would betray him: John 13:21
III. Peter’s Treacherous Response
Vigilant (Keeping watch to detect Danger)
Jesus specifically tells Peter to pray against temptation: Matthew 26:36-46
Despite being taught the big picture of Jesus mission, being told that Jesus would be betrayed, and being directed to pray against temptation; Peter acted in carelessly in haste without thought of consequence.
“Put up your Sword”
Jesus tells Peter in v.11 “put up thy Sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?”
Matthew 10:34 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” (“strife, discord, conflict; deadly opposition between eternally hostile priciples” – Jamieson Fausset and Brown)
- Who is Jesus talking to? The twelve, commissioning them to go to the Nation Israel and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom.
- Who were the Jews looking for? The Messiah (a warrior Messiah to overthrow the Romans
- What is the Kingdom? Kingdom of God that originates in Heaven, and will be established on earth through Israel. Jesus was born of the seed of David and presents himself as Messiah to the nation of Israel. “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” – Matthew 4:12 (The promised King was present)
- So now that we have the context… what does Jesus mean?
“As a result of His visit to earth, some children would be set against parents and a man’s enemies might be those within his own household This is because some who follow Christ are hated by their family members. This may be part of the cost of discipleship, for love of family should not be greater than love for the Lord. A true disciple must take his cross and follow Jesus.” – John Walvoord
The Sword is referring to the strife that will be caused in a fallen world due to the first coming of Christ.
Luke 22:36 “Then said he unto them, but now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one”
- The Sword was needed for personal protection. Jesus pointed out during the last supper, that when they were with Him, they never lacked anything. But since he was about to go away, they would need some things for their ministry: 1.) a purse; 2.) a bag; and 3.) a sword.
Now, this goes hand and hand with Jesus words to Peter. “put up thy Sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?”
Forbear: “To stop; to cease; to hold from proceeding;”
- Peter could have easily been arrested and no longer a vessel for God’s use. (John 18:8-10)
A lack of Wisdom and Understanding can be catastrophic
- Peter could have caused those present to misunderstand Jesus Mission (John 18:11)
Three things that can help:
- Clearness
- Caution
- Charity (love)

"Uncharted Territory" Joshua 3:1-5
(This is a re-recording and more concise version of episode 31)
“In Joshua 3, the children of Israel were on the brink of blessing. Between them and a land of opportunity was a raging river of difficulty. However, they had with them the Ark of the Covenant, a reminder of God’s presence with His people, and their guide to the Great Unknown.” – Adrian Rogers
Uncharted Territory – an unknown place not yet explored.

"How to Prepare a Sermon"
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
Episode 46
"How to Prepare for a Sermon"
"The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not 'what a lovely sermon,' but, ' I WILL DO SOMETHING" - Francis De Sales
I. Pray before preparation
- Is there anything in your life that shouldn’t be there? “search me O God…”
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. – Psalms 139:23,24
- What text do you need to preach from?
- What’s the theme?
- Spend time in prayer and really seek God’s Will for your message.
II. Prepare a sermon using the LIPS acronym
- LEARN: Learn the text and context (read and re-read)
*Tools needed: Bible, Strongs Concordance or equivalent, Journal or pad/computer to take down basic notes
Remember this is you are learning the text:
- Dispensation (who is God talking to, period, etc.)
- Interpretation (the exact meaning of the text)
Capture what you are learning in your journal/notepad
- Who:
- What:
- Where:
- When:
- Why:
- How:
- How much:
Learn the themes of the passage
Tools needed: Bible, Concordance, your Journal you have been using for notes, (this is a time of prayer and reflection and seeing which direction you are headed with the text.)
Essentially you are taking what you have learned from the text and seeing what the theme is going to be for your sermon.
Learn from others.
Tools needed: books, magazines, phone, computer, etc.
- Listen to other sermons/podcast/interviews on text; read commentaries, articles, reach out to Brothers/Sisters in the faith for their own commentary, etc.
- (be sure to do this after you have spent solitude with God praying over and reading the text directly from the Word and concordance.)
- INSCRIBE (pen to paper)
- Inscribe a detailed summary (pen to paper) of what was learned and what you want to tell the audience. These are not rough draft notes from reading as before.
- Essentially, you are writing down what you want to tell them, what you’re going to tell them, and what you told them. It is as if you are giving your audience the sermon in essay form.
- Plan (outline the sermon) Begin the final draft of the sermon by taking the inscription and putting it in outline form.
The introduction is what you want to tell them, the discussion is what you are telling them, and the conclusion is a recap of what you told them.
- The goal is that this is continuous. As if one big run-on sentence. The goal is to not take a break, but simply let the entire thing flow
- Use alliteration to help audience remember points (optional)
- Stay (dwell on the sermon)- Meditate on the sermon; Live the sermon (practice what God is telling you to preach. Remember, the Holy Spirit has preached this sermon to you before you will ever preach it to anyone else. This is your sermon to receive, live, and then proclaim. What an honor!)
III. Practice the sermon
Here are some tips:
- Record yourself preaching to get rid of any bad habits when you are speaking( “we see here…”; “um”; “uhh when you uhh look uhh here uhh” )
- Practice over and over so you are not depending too much on your notes. What happens if you leave your notes at home? You going to still give the Word?
- Give the Word to your family and close friends. There is nothing like practicing a good sermon your wife in the car on the way somewhere.
IV. Pray again
- Sermon preparation is stressful, and the enemy is also at work. You can never pray too much for a sermon. You never know who is going to hear it and what they stand in need of. The enemy is also very crafty, a lot can happen from the time you finish sermon preparation and when you actually preach it. (Frustration, fear, shame, over-confidence, the list goes on and on!)
- Pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit while preaching, pray for the audience, and pray for a right heart and humble spirit. Pray without ceasing!
V. Preach (let it fly!)
- Try not to go into “preaching mode” meaning you flip a switch and turn into a robot. (Refrain from cliches, crowd-pleasing, and humble bragging.)
- The main thing here is that you have gotten this message directly from God, you are in fellowship with God, you have been living this and meditating on it, and now you have the wonderful opportunity to give it to others.
Question: How much time should I spend a week in preparation for a sermon?
Answer: 168 hours.
Think about it.. in Psalm 1, the Blessed man (Happy man) meditates on the Word “day and night”. In the Epistle to the Thessalonians, Paul told the Church to “pray without ceasing” which essentially means to have our minds on God and be in constant communication with Him. Now, you may not be spending day and night meditating over the text God has given you to preach, nor may you be spending your days in the attitude of prayer over your sermon, but it all goes together. Let the Holy Spirit lead and direct your thoughts and actions. I would recommend a solid 3 to 4 hours on the LIPS method to construct the specific sermon. But you will be amazed how much of what goes on every day in a life with God that is apart of the sermon He is giving you.

Episode 45
“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” Genesis 2:18
Feeling connected is a basic human need. Solitary confinement is now being argued as inhumane and ineffective. Studies show that there are multiple negative mental and physical health effects. There is a need for connectivity and community. But before we have good relationships within community, we first must have to explore our connection to God.

”How do you Respond to the Truth?” Amos 7:10-13
Saturday Jan 13, 2024
Saturday Jan 13, 2024
Episode 44
There is a great picture in the Old Testament of what happens when we reject sound Doctrine.
Amos 7:10 “the land is not able to Bear his words” (maintain, contain, receive)
2 Timothy 4:3 “when they will not Endure Sound Doctrine” (hold up; to sustain, to bear)
When Amos prophesied against the other nations, his prophesy was accepted. But when he prophesied against Israel's specific sin, they told him to leave. The question we must ask ourselves, is "how do we respond to the truth?" Not only the truth that we accept, but the entire truth, even the parts that call out our own personal sins and disobedience.
