The third through fifth commandments may seem simple on the surface, but they lay the groundwork for God's entire relationship with His people and form the essential structure for any healthy society. In this teaching on Exodus 20, Pastor Stephen Armstrong goes beyond the literal words to reveal their profound spiritual applications in the "Law of Christ." Discover why taking the Lord's name in vain encompasses so much more than just careless speech and how our Sabbath rest has been perfectly fulfilled in Christ. Finally, learn how honoring parents became the bedrock command upon which Israel's national survival depended, a principle with urgent implications for families and the church today.

As God begins to reveal His commands at Sinai, a fundamental shift takes place. But what was the true purpose of a Law no one could perfectly keep? In this critical introduction to the Ten Commandments, Pastor Stephen Armstrong breaks down one of the most foundational—and misunderstood—topics in scripture. Discover why the Mosaic Law must be seen as an indivisible unit, why it could never provide personal righteousness, and why its ultimate theological purpose was to create the perfect conviction of sin. This sermon then draws a clear, powerful line from the law written on stone tablets to the law of liberty written on the believer's heart, establishing a necessary framework to understand why, in Christ, we are subject not to the law of Moses, but to the greater law of Christ.

What was the true purpose of the Law given to Moses at Sinai? Was it merely a set of rules for Israel, or does it hold a deeper, unchanging truth for believers today? In this crucial "Introduction to the Law," Pastor Stephen Armstrong tackles some of the most misunderstood aspects of the Old Testament. This foundational teaching breaks down the Law into its theological, national, and personal purposes, explaining why the Ten Commandments cannot be separated from the other 603 commands. Discover why God instituted a system that was impossible to keep, what it reveals about His perfect holiness, and how a right understanding of the Law powerfully reveals our absolute need for the grace found only in Christ. This is an essential lesson before delving into the Ten Commandments themselves.

Israel has finally arrived at the foot of Mount Sinai, where God prepares to make His covenant with them. But this is no casual meeting. Before the Law is given, God establishes the terms: He will make them a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation" if they obey. In this foundational study of Exodus 19, Pastor Stephen Armstrong unpacks the profound significance of God's terrifying descent upon the mountain in thunder, fire, and smoke. Discover the difference between a Suzerain and a Parody covenant, why God's absolute holiness required strict boundaries, and how this awesome display of power was meant to instill a true and necessary "fear of the Lord" before the covenant could be made. This is the crucial context needed to understand everything that comes next.

The challenges for the newly-freed nation intensify as they face thirst in the desert and their first military attack from the Amalekites. In this pivotal study of Exodus 17 & 18, God provides water from a struck rock and gives victory through a weary intercessor. But these events are more than just historical miracles; they are profound pictures of Christ and timeless lessons in spiritual warfare. Pastor Stephen Armstrong then unpacks the wise, practical, and life-saving counsel from Moses’s father-in-law, Jethro, who provides a timeless blueprint for preventing leadership burnout and establishing godly order. Discover the deep spiritual meaning of the "smitten rock" and the biblical necessity of sharing the burden of ministry.

Just weeks after their miraculous escape, the Israelites find themselves grumbling again, longing for the "pots of meat" of their Egyptian slavery. In response, God provides supernatural bread from heaven—Manna. But this gift comes with a test. In this study of Exodus 16, Pastor Stephen Armstrong unpacks this famous story, revealing how the daily provision of manna and the introduction of the Sabbath were designed to test the heart of the nation. More importantly, he connects this historical account directly to Jesus's powerful teaching in John 6, showing how the Manna was always a picture of Christ, the true Bread of Life. Discover the crucial difference between a full stomach and a faithful heart, and learn what it means to trust God's daily provision without looking back.

After the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, Moses and the Israelites sing a powerful song of victory. But is this just a historical hymn, or is it something more? In this in-depth study of Exodus 15, Pastor Stephen Armstrong reveals how this ancient song is a profound prophetic key, establishing a pattern that echoes from the past all the way to the final victory in the book of Revelation. Discover the intricate structure of Hebrew poetry, the stunning contrast between God's truth and the pagan myth of Baal, and how this one chapter serves as a blueprint for understanding judgment, salvation, and the eternal reign of Christ.

Pastor Stephen Armstrong leads an in-depth examination of the Red Sea Crossing, one of the most iconic and miraculous events in the Bible. This sermon explores not just what happened, but precisely how and where it likely took place. Delving into biblical scholarship, Pastor Armstrong presents compelling scriptural and circumstantial evidence that the true crossing point may not have been the traditional location at the Gulf of Suez, but rather the much deeper Gulf of Aqaba.

Experience the escalating tension as Israel, appearing hopelessly lost and trapped, becomes the divine "bait" to lure Pharaoh's hardened heart into a final, catastrophic confrontation. The teaching powerfully illustrates God's sovereignty over the events, as He deliberately maneuvers both His people and their pursuers according to His ultimate purpose. See how Moses acts in faith, wielding the staff as a symbol of God's power, while the nation vacillates between fear, complaint, and eventual awe.

The sermon culminates in a detailed walk-through of the crossing itself, from the parting of the waters to the miraculous protection of God's people by the pillar of fire and cloud. Ultimately, Pastor Armstrong presents this account as an unwavering testimony to God's precise timing, His unmatched power over creation, His faithfulness to His covenant people, and His glory displayed in the complete and total defeat of their enemies.
