Law – Exodus 17-20
May 1, 2009
Rephidim. Massah and Meribah. Amalek. Jethro. Wilderness of Sinai. Mount Sinai. What significance does all these names have for you when you read them? What comes to mind? Do ALL the names sound familiar? They should … after all these belong to stories that a lot of us grew up with – or have heard many many times in church. Not sure? Read on…
Bible Passage: Exodus 17-20
Now… do you know why the names sound so familiar? I thought instead of saying too many things, I would just share some cartoons that brings across the message much much more clearly.
Hmm… are we the Complain Kings and Queens in Church?
Do we pray for our leaders, Ministers and Preachers?
Are We Guilty of the 10 Commandments – Not Just by the Word of the Law but By the Standards of Jesus?

PS
19:5-6 “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people, for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
Then God spoke the 10 commandments personally.
20:20 And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.”
The test of God is not for the Israelites at that point of time in history only. It is a perpetual test, for you and me too.
“How then can i do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
When we break any 1 of the 10 commandments, we are sinning against God.
We keep ourselves sanctified bec we revere and fear God.
Pass the test.
We are God’s special treasure. God wants us to be His kingdom of priests and His holy nation.
