January 29 - Exodus (Part 2)
Bible in a Year with Pastor Chris Dodge
This class continues our study of Exodus. Pastor opens with a look at the Red Sea and where it is traditionally thought that the Israelite crossing took place. But then shares new information that points to a possible different location. It’s an exciting look at circumstantial evidence like trade routes, to a peninsula in the Gulf of Aqaba, an underwater “land bridge,” and the possibility of having discovered that Mt. Sinai maybe isn’t where we traditionally thought it was. Pastor shares discoveries of interesting artifacts, petroglyphs, circular stone patterns which may be the...

January 22 - Exodus (Part 1)
Bible in a Year with Pastor Chris Dodge
This week we begin our exploration of the book of Exodus. We will spend 2 weeks examining this book that is the foundation for the biblical faith, that lays out the fundamentals of worship of the One true God and shows and tells us who He is, how He works, what He does and what that means for us. In the book of Exodus we see God moving in a powerful way to save His people, to deliver them from bondage. We also see that as God moves throughout history He makes Himself known and in each incident they point to an even greater reality. As we look at this book we will look at it with the...

January 15 - Genesis (Part 2)
Bible in a Year with Pastor Chris Dodge
The genealogies and the scriptures have been proven over and over again to be reliable. Up until recent times the Hittites in the Bible have been viewed as made up and a group of people that never was. Then recently ancient tablets were uncovered and we discover an empire that we did not know existed - it was the Hittite empire. What was discovered is that what the Bible has said for millennia is finally proven true in modern times. Today we know the Hittites as a massive empire, closely connected to the Trojans, but Scripture had it right all along. God’s promise to Abraham: Genesis 12:2-3...

January 8 - Genesis (Part 1)
Bible in a Year with Pastor Chris Dodge
This study takes us from Creation to the Tower of Babel. Genesis is the first of 5 books that Moses compiled records of the actions and directions of God. Pastor shares that “toledoth” - ancient colophon - may indicate key evidence was passed down through generations. This is eye witness material that Moses used to write the Torah - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Toledoth is interpreted in our Bibles as “this is the account….” Or “These are the generations….” A computer analysis verifies these 5 books of the Bible were written by...

Week 1 - Welcome to the Introduction of Pastor Dodge's study, The Bible in a Year. Pastor gives a captivating overview of the Bible and what we will discover in the next 52 weeks! Unsheathing the Sword - Is the title of this Bible in a year class. What does Unsheathing the Sword mean? Why this title? “Unsheathing” is a word men will understand. Our culture has wandered far from God’s truth and one of the things we need to reclaim is godly men. Because God has called husbands and fathers to spiritual headship, responsibility before God for our families. What’s happened today is...

info_outlineThis class continues our study of Exodus.
Pastor opens with a look at the Red Sea and where it is traditionally thought that the Israelite crossing took place. But then shares new information that points to a possible different location. It’s an exciting look at circumstantial evidence like trade routes, to a peninsula in the Gulf of Aqaba, an underwater “land bridge,” and the possibility of having discovered that Mt. Sinai maybe isn’t where we traditionally thought it was. Pastor shares discoveries of interesting artifacts, petroglyphs, circular stone patterns which may be the possible remains for the Israelite camps in the area, 12 pillars which may possibly be 1 for each tribe and more. They are things that really bring a fresh look to this familiar story of the exodus.
As we continue with the story of the exodus we see the Israelites beginning to complain and God provides them with manna, food for their daily lives.
Pastor goes on to expose the “on the third day” words that are often read throughout the Bible. “On the third day” God showed the Isrealites fire on the mountain. From the mountain they heard trumpets and they heard God speaking which caused them to become very fearful. They tell Moses to go to the top of the mountain to meet with God. This is when Moses received the 10 commandments.
Exodus 20 - the first words of the commandments are, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” Some people see this as the first commandment. There are several numberings of the 10 commandments. The important thing is not how they are numbered, but rather that we listen to them.
Moses is on the mountain for 40 days and while he’s up there the people, with Aaron’s help, build a golden calf harkening back to the Gods of Egypt while they were in slavery. God wants us molded and shaped not by the culture or it’s influence, but by His Word, His Spirit and His Truth.
After the golden calf was completed they have a festival. The story is found in Exodus 32. And Moses comes down and sees this party they are having in celebration of the Golden Calf. Moses throws down the tablets and breaks them. And then he goes to the golden calf and grinds it up, puts that grounds in water and tells them to drink it. When Moses confronts Aaron, Aaron says, “… I threw the gold into the fire and out came the calf.” God is angry and says He’s going to destroy the people, but Moses pleads for God not to do that, if someone has to die that God would take it out on him and not the people and for the honor of God’s name, that God would not destroy a nation He had delivered. Many do die, but God is gracious and merciful. They had turned their back on God, but God doesn’t turn His back on them. And we see the goodness of God.
Exodus is filled with Jesus. There are so many fingerprints of the Lord Jesus in this book - we see the story of the Israelite deliverance reenacted by Jesus.
EXODUS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
“Tabernacled” - John 1:14
“Egypt” - Matthew 2:15 (Hosea 11:1)
“Exodus” - Luke 9:31
“Baptized” - 1 Corinthians 10:2
“Passover Lab” - 1 Corinthians 5:7

Pastor closes with a look at worship of God and the plans for the tabernacle, the furnishings, and how they were to worship including rules and regulations God had put into place.
Join us next week for Leviticus, a book many think is nothing but boring and filled with rules and regulations, but it actually shows us the foundation of true worship and of God's plan for His people.
