The Golden Calf 2 Exodus 32:7-35

May 16, 2024

Economists say, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Someone is always paying the price. And our actions always have a consequence, until the mercy of God is introduced. You may recall that while Moses was up on the mountain receiving the Law from God, the Israelites were down in the camp, worshiping the golden calf and having a party. Moses, rather than asking God for judgment, pleads for mercy for God's people.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is a fairly true statement for a vast majority of people!  But there are a few men, who though they have been put in a position of authority, do not abuse those positions for their own good. Instead, they exercise their power for the good of those they oversee. One such man was Moses. God was so exasperated with his people that he offered to start over with Moses but Moses humbly pleaded for his people. Here is Pastor Bill Luebkemann with the whole story from Exodus chapter thirty-two.

Today, we return to Exodus chapter 32, where the Children of Israel, impatiently waiting for the return of Moses, decide to make their own God. Something that people are still doing today. Many people would rather serve a god of their own making than the one true God who loves them.

Today on Hope from the Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann continues his study through the Bible. We'll be in the book of Exodus, which is all about the incredible story of the Israelite's rescue from slavery in Egypt. While God is giving the Law to Moses, we get a look at what was taking place in the Israelite's camp at the foot of the Mountain. Please join us in Exodus chapter thirty-two.

Often in our system of government, a law will not pass, so the author of the bill or law will revise it and resubmit it in hopes that the new version will be acceptable. God did something similar with us! His first covenant, though perfect, could not be kept by man. So, God submitted a new bill, but in this one, he paid for everything, instead of us.

If you have ever bought a house, you have seen how much paperwork and detail can go into contracts. If you own a business, you probably see them every day. Contracts are there so each party understands every aspect of their agreement. Today, our Hope From the Word comes from the Old Testament book of Exodus, as Pastor Bill Luebkemann takes a look at a very important contract. The one that God offered the children of Abraham...

Have you ever been in a tight spot? What if you ended up in a dark alley at night in a bad part of town? You'd be pretty nervous, wouldn't you? But what if you had a highly trained bodyguard with you? You probably wouldn't be as nervous. Well, Israel was in a pretty tough spot but they didn't need to be afraid. They had the Lord God Almighty on their side. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann with Hope from the Word from the book of Exodus.

As human beings, we have an innate fault. That is, we try to do things our way and in our own strength. But God, in His grace and Love, sometimes allows us to be backed into a corner so that we can learn just how powerful and caring He really is. Pastor Bill Luebkemann shows us an example of that very thing happening to the fledgling nation of Israel. Today, our Hope From the Word comes from the book of Exodus, chapter 13...

Some people believe in talking to their plants because, as they say, plants are living things and it encourages them to grow. But plants don't normally speak back. Moses, wound up having a conversation with a plant, but not because he wanted it to grow. He saw a burning bush and before he realized it, the God of the Universe was speaking to him! Here is Pastor Bill Luebkemann in Exodus chapter three.

It's amazing how God's timing rarely looks how we think it should. We prefer our problems to be solved quickly but God is more interested in our growth than our timeline. Today Pastor Bill brings us to the Old Testament book of Exodus where we'll examine the life of Moses and see what it took to develop him into the man that God would use to lead His children out of Egypt. And as we study the life of Moses, you may discover a few things you didn't know about this man of God.

Today, we return to Genesis chapter thirty-nine for more on the life of Joseph. He had been sold off as a slave by his jealous brothers, and became a servant in the home of an Egyptian named Potiphar. Joseph remained faithful to God through it all!  Now, in chapter thirty-nine, Joseph gets another extreme test of faith. Here's Pastor Bill with a message entitled Flee from Evil.
