This is the companion message to The Ten Commandments: Like It or Not. It's important for Christians to learn how to understand the Old Testament law so we don't get sucked into thinking we should be performing it. Under the law, God demanded righteousness from people..css-1t8gq41{border:none;background-image:none;background-color:transparent;box-shadow:none;color:#2F3133;cursor:pointer;font-size:inherit;padding:0;-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;width:-webkit-max-content;width:-moz-max-content;width:max-content;}.css-1t8gq41:hover,.css-1t8gq41:focus{-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;}
It's very important to study the Ten Commandments, not as a list of rules to follow, but as a revelation of God's divine character and nature to a people He chose to save. Through them, God was sending a very clear message: this is how you're going to relate to Me and to one another. They are not ...
God chose the children of Israel, and He gave them instructions for how to relate to Him and to their fellow man. He intended them to be custodians of His word and to spread it across the face of the earth, but they did not obey Him, so He turned to the Gentiles. Now He has set us apart to keep th...
There is a clear distinction between "Israelites" and "Hebrews" in the Bible and secular writings from antiquity. It's a mistake to homogenize the two. It's also a mistake to extrapolate from the Exodus passages that either Hebrews or Israelites were practicing Judaism at this time. Read more
The children of Israel were attacked by Amalek for seemingly no reason. This was their first challenge from an outside force. They prevailed against Amalek by the faith of their leader Moses who interceded on their behalf, raising his hands to the throne of God with Aaron and Hur holding up his arms whenever he tired.

We need to be very careful to see ourselves in the pages of Exodus because they contain lessons about mistakes before God. Constant grumbling, complaining, and putting God on trial were things that greatly angered God and caused the children of Israel to miss the Promised Land. How much more for u...
We ought to look back at all the ways the Lord has delivered us and guided us. He has been with us every step of the way, as He was with the children of Israel in the wilderness. He provided for them with manna from Heaven every day. Today He has provided f...
The life of the Christian is comprised of times of joy and times of bitterness. We can learn from the example of the children of Israel; they chose to murmur and complain in times of bitterness in spite of all that God had done for them...
The Exodus passages show that God keeps His word, even to His own hurt. This disp...
Teaching from Jeremiah showing God's divine delight, His disgust and distress with His people, and the application to the modern church. Begin taking the steps back, acknowledge your guilt before God, turn back to Him. The message is the same: God's grace to an unfaithful people, His call of repentance and the promise, partake of the living waters and you'll never thirst again.<...
A study of three biblical prophets: Abraham, Moses and Jeremiah. The difference between a true and a false prophet is illustrated by contrasting Jeremiah's prophecy with Hananiah's false prophecy. Know God's word and you'll be able to discern the difference between the true and false prophecy. Jeremiah 27-28 VF-1827
The Church of England has been in the news for labeling God "gender neutral." What a tragedy considering this church's rich history, and how completely blasphemous! We don't need to change scripture. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit teaches us that God made ...
The church is under attack from people trying to bring in their own ideological baggage. All are welcome in church, but the point is for God's word to open people's eyes, equip them, and change them. We are not to dictate the terms on which we come to God. ...
The church is confused about its mission, and The Guardian has capitalized on it by releasing an article entitled, "Losing their Religion: Why U.S. Churches Are on the Decline" in an attempt to brainwash Americans into thinking Christianity is dying or dead. Rather than accomplishing its goal, it has become the launching pad to revisit h...
The problem with the church at large is the treating of the word of God lightly. As a result, what the world sees coming out of the church is everything but His word. The solution is to apply the advice in 1 Timothy 6: flee from false teaching, follow after God's righteousness and fight the good fi...
Some things that God spoke in prophecies and parables remain mysteries for a time. God makes the meaning of these things clear to those who trust Him when the appointed time comes. We must anticipate in faith that what He has said will come t...
The twisting of scripture that is infiltrating the church is a real danger to Christians, where the very elect can be deceived. As Christians, we are to push back at the apostacy of unscriptural teaching, turn to Christ and remain in the word. Trust God and He will lead us through.
Strange things are happening in the world. Governments are implementing technologies that will affect people's ability to work, to buy and sell, and to survive. People with political agendas are conflating rejection of the modern state of Israel with rejection of Christ. Read more
Teaching on the trilogy of parables in Luke 15, focusing on the Parable of The Father. The ones that listened to Jesus tell these parables were considered the worst of the sinners. We are all prodigals having wasted the inheritance given to us - our time, m...
Death for the Christian, as unfolded in the Bible, is a door to the joy of eternity with God provided by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is our prototype and the firstborn from the dead. VF-2095 Colossians 1:18 Romans 8:29 Colossians 1:15 Read more

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
