This is the second part of our consideration of how the modern Christian should relate to the law of Moses. If there is so much difference between the laws of Moses and Christ, why was the law of Moses given at all? If Christ was always the plan, why didn’t God just jump straight to Jesus?

It’s important that modern Christians do not neglect a study of the Law of Moses, for in it we learn much about the character and nature of the God we serve. What can we learn about God from a study of Leviticus, and how should such a study affect us today?

I am a bit late with this chart in our read through the Bible at Dewey this year. As a reminder, there won’t be a chart like this for every book, but I hope this is helpful for you.
Inevitably as a person reads through the Law of Moses in Exodus-Deuteronomy, the many, many differences between that law and what would later come through Jesus and his apostles become glaring. How can we explain and understand the differences between God’s expectations for the Israelites, and his expectations of his people today? And why do the differences matter?

While there are literally hundreds of laws in the Law of Moses, the first ten are called out as especially significant. What makes them so special, and how have they continually resonated with God’s people over the course of millennia?

In our journey through the story of the Bible we have come to Exodus. The first half of the book is God’s grand revealing of his name, character, and power – not just to the Israelites, but to the world. In this revealing, God establishes patterns that will reoccur throughout the rest of the Bible story. What are these patterns, and what do we learn about him in the Exodus?

The second in our two-part lesson on the problem of pain approaches the problem in a more traditional, critical way: given the nature of God, his power, love, and knowledge, how can evil and suffering still exist?

This is the first of a two-part lesson on the problem of suffering and pain in the world. This first part comes from Job: what can we learn about suffering and the problem of pain in our lives from Job and his discussion with his friends?

Here are the next in the series of supplemental materials for our journey through the story of the Bible: a map of Israel’s journey from Egypt to Canaan, and an overview of the book of Exodus.
Here are the pngs, if you prefer.
The story of Joseph is at the heart of a lot of Yahweh’s providential work in Genesis and Exodus. How did God work to bring Joseph into a position of influence, and what did God accomplish by doing so.
