What we need is a fresh encounter, an experience with the aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and Most High God. 5 said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, One of the most famous encounters in Scripture is when Moses “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, meets God at the burning bush. Moses is eighty years old at 6 for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” He this time. He has spent forty years in the court of Egypt as the said also, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the adopted son of Pharaoh and forty years in the wilderness as God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for a lowly shepherd after killing an Egyptian slave master in a he was afraid to look at God. misguided attempt to liberate his people, the Israelites. 7 The LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people So, when we find Moses in Exodus 3, there is a forty-year who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of gap between his misstep and his encounter with God.

After Jacob's family moved to Egypt, they increased and multiplied until the land was filled with them. Joseph died, many years passed, and a new king came to power who did not know Joseph. Afraid of the strength and might of the Israelites, the king began to afflict them, enslav- ing them and forcing them to build cities for him. He decreed that all boy babies born to the Hebrew women should be cast into the river. One Levite family hid their infant son. When they could no longer hide him, his mother put him in a basket and placed him in the river where the daughter of Pharaoh bathed. The royal princess found the basket and child, named him Moses which means to draw out, and raised him as her son.

  • EXODUS: GOD PROVIDES Grumbling Exodus 15:22-17:7
    EXODUS: GOD PROVIDES Grumbling Exodus 15:22-17:7 “GOD PROVIDES” is the title we’ve given to our summer sermon series on Exodus and those two words sum up the story of Exodus so well. Consider all of the ways in which God has provided for his people… in just the first 15 chapters of Exodus: After providing them with food in the wake of a devastating world famine, God provided the family of Israel (70 people in all) with a new home in a fertile plain in Egypt where they flourished and grew to become a nation of people. God provided the Israelites with a deliverer named Moses to lead them out of Egypt. God provided the Israelites with freedom by performing miracle after miracle when Pharaoh’s heart was resistant to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt. God provided a pathway for his people to cross the Red Sea, when Pharaoh changed his mind and decided to pursue the Israelites. And as we’ll see today, God continued to provide for his people as they journeyed toward the Promised Land. Some words that you’re going to hear recur throughout the message today are, “remember” and “don’t forget.” How about you say them with me… Those words are said by God and his prophets to his people, the Israelites, throughout the Old Testament. God repeatedly told his people, “Remember all that I’ve done for you and be intentional about reminding your children and grandchildren of all that I’ve done. Don’t forget.” One of the best known places where God says this is in Deuteronomy chapter 6.

  • “Turn in Repentance to Your Creator, Then Slay Yourselves”: the Levitical Election, Atonement, and Secession in Early and Classical Islamic Exegesis1
    [CIS 6.1–2 (2010) 101–150] Comparative Islamic Studies (print) ISSN 1740-7125 doi: 10.1558/cis.v6i1–2.101 Comparative Islamic Studies (online) ISSN 1743-1638 “Turn in Repentance to your Creator, then Slay Yourselves”: The Levitical Election, Atonement, and Secession in Early and Classical Islamic Exegesis1 Michael E. Pregill Elon University, Elon, NC [email protected] In memory of Thomas Sizgorich ABSTR A CT The quranic retelling of the Golden Calf story found at 2:51–54 contains a unique allusion to what is arguably one of the most important elements in the biblical precursor in Exodus, the so-called Levitical election. This paper will explore the interpretation of Moses’ puzzling command to the Israelite idolaters to “slay yourselves” in early and classical tafsīr. I will argue that the subtle changes in Muslim exegetes’ understanding of this aspect of the episode reflect important developments in early Islamic soci- ety, in particular the emergence of the accommodationist political ideol- ogy that would become one of the defining features of classical Sunnism. Keywords Biblical stories in Islam, Exodus in Islam, Golden Calf in Islam, Quran, sectarianism, Tafsīr, violence 1. ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������I delivered an early draft of this paper at the Society of Biblical Literature meet- ing in Boston in 2008, on a panel I organized entitled “The Muslim Bible: Islamic Visions of Israel’s History.” I thank the attendees and my fellow panelists for their helpful comments and questions.

  • Who We Are Argyle United Methodist Church
    Who We Are Argyle United Methodist Church Our story started with 27 faithful families who moved to a new area and joined together in community. Rancher Henry Johns had a well that was frequented by travelers passing through the area. The well took on special signicance in 1884 as the water source for the annual “Brush Arbor Camp Meetings” sponsored by Prairie Mound Methodist Church as well as for family reunions, prayers, singing, repenting, playing, eating and events each year to celebrate the end of harvest. Many years later, Prairie Mound Methodist Church became part of Argyle United Methodist Church. In 1898, Argyle UMC purchased land atop "Methodist Hill" from the Texas and Pacic Railroad. The rst sanctuary, a frame structure, was built by the rst pastor, Reverend Blueford Henry Webster, and church members. They drove six wagons to the Dallas planning mill to get lumber to build the pews two of which still have a special place in our church today! Over the years, Argyle United Methodist Church expanded. Adjoining property was acquired by trustees in 1947 and again in 1973. In 1986 the sanctuary was renovated and enlarged and a reception area, oces, library, kitchen and social hall were added. By 2003, the church had added three portable buildings and exhausted all means of expanding at its present location. As church membership continued to grow, a need to expand to a bigger building did too. Old "Methodist Hill" and the original Methodist church became the Argyle Town Hall and in 2005, Argyle UMC acquired 20 contiguous acres of land on Highway 377.

Sinai” – YouTube channel: A Rood Awakening (first 27 min.) Crossing the Red Sea: There is a traditional route of the Exodus which has the children of Israel wading in shallow water through an area north of the Gulf of Suez while the tide was out (marked in yellow on the map). This area cannot be the crossing site as it does not match the biblical account. A shallow area of water could not drown all of the Egyptian army. They were to leave Egypt proper before encountering the Red Sea crossing. After crossing the Red Sea, the Bible says they encountered the mountain of God or Mount Sinai which is in Midian. Midian is not in the area we call today the Sinai Peninsula. It is instead in Saudi Arabia and can be found on most maps in that location. There is no archaeological evidence of the forty year existence of the children of Israel in the whole of the Sinai Peninsula, nor at the “traditional” site of Mt. Sinai. There is another crossing point which was found by Ron Wyatt. He spent 22 years trying to match up the scriptures with land marks, and was successful in finding several places, including the cities of the plains Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as Noah’s Ark, and the site of the crossing of the Red Sea.
