  1. 2D AGO

    Exodus (Lesson 43)

    We open Exodus 23 to confront bribery, remember the stranger, and relearn rest and gratitude. We draw out a hard but freeing lesson: obey all God’s words, even the ones we cannot fully explain, as we follow the Angel of the Lord and preach truth without violence. • bribery blinds judgment and warps words • memory of suffering shaping mercy to strangers • Sabbath year and weekly rest for people and animals • gleaning with dignity, not entitlement • feasts of firstfruits and ingathering as gratitude • speak of the one true God, avoid false gods • the curious ban on seething a kid stressing full obedience • the Angel of the Lord likely a pre-incarnate Christ • Israel’s call to topple idols vs the church’s spiritual mission • preach the gospel to pull down strongholds, not statues Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org

    Exodus (Lesson 42)

    We trace Exodus 22 through authority, holiness, generosity, truth, and mercy, urging believers to suffer for Christ rather than for partisanship and to keep the pulpit fixed on the gospel. We challenge delay in giving, crowd-driven ethics, and false reports, and close with the sobering truth that God will not justify the wicked. • honoring rulers while preaching Christ above politics • giving firstfruits without delay • being holy men unto God in conduct and conviction • refusing false reports and corrupt witness • not following the crowd to do evil • practicing mercy toward an enemy’s property • keeping far from false matters and unjust gain • remembering God will not justify the wicked; Christ alone saves Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org

    Exodus (Lesson 41)

    We walk through Exodus 22 to show how God’s law weds justice to mercy: double restitution instead of jail, due process over gossip, sexual responsibility with real costs, and strong protection for strangers, widows, and orphans. We argue that firm penalties for a few create safety for the many, and that structured compassion restrains exploitation. • private property affirmed and restitution required • accusations tested before judges with both parties present • borrowing, renting, and evidence for loss clarified • seduction addressed with dowry and marriage responsibility • witchcraft and sexual perversion condemned with bright lines • worship of false gods distinguished from New Testament practice • strangers treated fairly without erasing citizenship • widows and orphans shielded by God’s active defense • lending to the poor without usury; pledges returned nightly • God’s grace seen in just judgments that protect society Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org

    Exodus (Lesson 40)

    We trace Exodus 21 to show how God’s law delivers equal justice, protects life in the womb, demands restitution, and ties rights to responsibility. We call listeners to trust the Lord’s simple truths and to seek a justice that restores rather than excuses. • all lives valued equally before God • the child in the womb named as a child • proportional justice as real deterrence • restitution to make victims whole • negligence and dangerous animals addressed • home defense and the boundary of night • private property rights joined to duties • thirty pieces of silver and Christ’s worth • simple repentance, faith, and daily obedience Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org

    Exodus (Lesson 39)

    We open Exodus 21 under rolling thunder and talk plainly about justice, love, and order. From the marked servant to murder, kidnapping, and restitution, we weigh hard laws that protect life and point to freedom in Christ. • servitude as debt restitution, not man-stealing • the willing servant as a picture of belonging to Christ • safeguards for women’s provision and dignity • capital sanctions for murder, kidnapping, and parental assault • refuge for accidental killing and due process • restitution for injury and lost wages by the offender • the limits of human systems without new birth in Christ • practical contrasts with modern legal norms Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org

    Exodus (Lesson 38)

    We walk through the final commandments in Exodus 20, pressing on truth-telling, coveting, reverent fear, and simple worship that keeps God at the center. We challenge envy, spectacle, and distraction, and call listeners to give God their hearts, time, and obedience. • the harm of bearing false witness and the call to precise truth • covetousness as idolatry and respect for private property • fear of God as a restraint against sin • rejection of gold and silver “gods” in favor of wholehearted devotion • altars of earth and unhewn stone to keep worship simple • human life’s sanctity and the purpose of sacrifice fulfilled in Christ • modesty and focus in corporate worship to avoid distraction • practical calls to give God time, love, and spiritual sacrifices Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org

    Exodus (Lesson 37)

    We trace Exodus 20 from honor to integrity, showing how family order undergirds society and why God draws hard lines on murder, adultery, and theft. We distinguish children’s obedience from adults’ honor and apply each command to modern life with clarity and urgency. • honoring parents as adults by living God’s word • children commanded to obey, adults called to honor • murder defined as intentional killing, not manslaughter • Jesus’ confirmation of Exodus in Matthew 19 • adultery forbidden without excuses, marriage honored • theft condemned in personal and systemic forms • culture shifts contrasted with God’s unchanging standard • practical calls to fidelity, restraint, and responsibility Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.com Ministry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermons Sermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLand Web Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org
