Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, Erin H. Warren teaches through Exodus 19. 20, & 32. As Moses and the people near Mt. Sinai, God tells them He is going to come down. He gives them a command to consecrate themselves and boundaries for their protection. Yahweh comes to make a covenant with His people and gives them ten words that will define their relationship. But the people are afraid and pull back in fear. But Moses, with reverence and a "fear of God", draws near to God up the mountain.While Moses meets with God, the people grow impatient, asking Aaron for a new god, a new mediator. Aaron fashions a golden calf and allows the people to break loose. Moses, upset over the quickly broken covenant, shattered the stone tablets and exacts justice for the sins of the people. The truth is the law was never meant to save us. No one can perfectly uphold the law. Instead it merely reveals our sinfulness. But this marriage ceremony between God and His people was a shadow of the new and better covenant God would make one day, through His Son, Jesus Christ. Because of His interceding on our behalf and His ability to perfectly uphold the law, thus becoming the spotless sacrificial Lamb, we can draw near to God.Links Mentioned in this Episode:BEMA Podcast on the Covenant at Mt Sinai: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bema-podcast/id1148115183?i=1000382405315For more information on this study: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/WildernessFor recommended resources: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Resources⁠For more information on studying Scripture: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/HowTo⁠Erin's books and other studies: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Books⁠For speaking inquiries: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Speaking
