  Hello friends and a happy Thursday to you.
• 0:15
  Sean here and you and I have reached Thursday we have reached
• 0:19
  the day where God has finished laying out his plans for exactly
• 0:24
  what a covenant with him would look like.
• 0:26
  And it seems like a pretty good deal, right?
• 0:29
  Can you Imagine you just need to live with Justice and basic
• 0:33
  decency to each other. And as a result, God is going to
• 0:36
  give you this incredible Heritage, this land, this space,
• 0:41
  and essentially, give you invincibility over all of your
• 0:44
  enemies. Wow.
• 0:45
  The list goes on and and you know, we think that deal was
• 0:48
  good. The deal we have in Jesus is
• 0:51
  just exponentially better that he just says to come to trust in
• 0:56
  Jesus to love Jesus. And accept his gift for us.
• 1:01
  Wow, fantastic. But I'm jumping ahead.
• 1:04
  Thousands of years steady on steady unsteady on Shawn.
• 1:07
  Okay, I'm calm, I'm calm. I'm ready to come back to
• 1:10
  Exodus. Let us read together this
• 1:12
  chapter and hear what Israel response said, this fantastic
• 1:16
  Covenant that God offers them in Exodus chapter 24.
• 1:31
  Then the Lord instructed Moses come up here to me and bring
• 1:36
  along Aaron, nadab abou, and 70 of Israel's Elders, all of you
• 1:43
  must worship from a distance. Only Moses is allowed to come
• 1:47
  near to the Lord. The others must not come near
• 1:50
  and none of the other people are allowed to climb up the mountain
• 1:53
  with him. When Moses went down to the
• 1:56
  people and repeated all the instructions and regulations,
• 1:58
  the Lord had given him. All the people answered with one
• 2:01
  voice, we will do everything. The Lord has commanded.
• 2:07
  Then Moses carefully wrote down all the Lord's instructions,
• 2:11
  early. The next morning, Moses got up
• 2:14
  and built an altar at the foot of the mountain.
• 2:17
  He also set up 12 pillars, one for each of the 12 tribes of
• 2:20
  Israel. Then he sent some of the young
• 2:23
  Israelite men to present burnt offerings and to sacrifice Bulls
• 2:27
  as peace, offerings to the Lord. Moses drained, half the blood
• 2:31
  from these animals into basins the other half, he splattered
• 2:35
  against the altar. Then he took the book of the
• 2:39
  Covenant and read it aloud to the people.
• 2:42
  Again they all responded we will do everything.
• 2:46
  The Lord has commanded. We will obey then Moses took the
• 2:51
  blood from the basins and splattered it over the people
• 2:54
  declaring look this Blood confirms the Covenant, the Lord
• 2:59
  has made with you and giving you these instructions Then Moses
• 3:04
  Aaron nadab Abu and the 70 elders of Israel.
• 3:08
  Climbed up the mountain, there they saw the god of Israel under
• 3:15
  his feet. There seemed to be a surface of
• 3:17
  brilliant blue, lapis lazuli as clear as the sky itself.
• 3:23
  And though, these Nobles of Israel gazed upon God, he did
• 3:27
  not destroy them. In fact, they ate a covenant
• 3:31
  meal eating and drinking in his presence.
• 3:35
  Then the Lord said to Moses, come up to me on the mountain,
• 3:40
  stay there and I will give you the tablets of stone on which I
• 3:43
  have inscribed the instructions and commands.
• 3:46
  So you can teach the people. So Moses and his assistant
• 3:51
  Joshua set out and Moses climbed up the Mountain of God.
• 3:56
  Moses told the elders stay here and wait for us until we come
• 3:59
  back Erin and her here with you. If anyone has a dispute while
• 4:05
  I'm gone consult with them. Then Moses climbed up the
• 4:09
  mountain and the cloud covered it.
• 4:12
  And the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai and
• 4:17
  the cloud covered it. For six days.
• 4:20
  On the seventh day, the Lord called to Moses from.
• 4:24
  Inside the cloud. To the Israelites, at the foot
• 4:27
  of the mountain, the glory of the Lord appeared at the summit
• 4:30
  like a consuming fire. Then Moses disappeared into the
• 4:35
  cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain, he remained on the
• 4:39
  mountain, 40 days and 40 nights. You are a majestic, magnificent
• 4:58
  faithful God. When you make a promise to us,
• 5:04
  when you make a deal with us, we can just depend 100% on you.
• 5:12
  That you will always keep your end of the bargain.
• 5:15
  We are the only flaky part of the deal.
• 5:19
  You are rock, solid and dependable Thank you that your
• 5:23
  character is good and just and trustworthy.
• 5:29
  You are a wonderful God and we are your people.
• 5:33
  And we are so grateful. And so grateful that not just
• 5:37
  for this Covenant and what we learned through this, but that
• 5:40
  you have given us Jesus Thank you for the gift of your son
• 5:47
  that you would know what it's like to be human and that we
• 5:50
  would know what you were like, what a deal.
• 5:55
  We're so grateful and it's in Jesus name that we pray.
• 5:59
  Amen. We're so grateful and it's in
• 5:57
  Jesus name that we pray. Amen.
