Bible Study and Ads

Having completed our look at the book of James, I thought that I would turn our attention to the book of Exodus.

A web search was very fruitful. I came across three useful items.

1. Lesson notes on the book. These I will use at the end of the study period as a refresher.

2. Wickedpedia. There are many interlinked resources.

Decalogue Parchment

3. A video on Youtube which challenges modern thinking that the Exodus was just a myth. It is called 'Exodus Decoded'. It gives a good overview of the story and shows real geographical areas and artifacts. It ends by showing a gold artifact said to be the exact image of the 'Ark of the Covenant'. Care is needed in commenting on this video.

The fourth resource I found in the local Christian book shop. This is a good series which uses the Biblical text as a platform for preaching. The preaching ideas are shown in bold print.

Michael Eaton has written a number of books in this series which, to my mind, does help would-be-preachers prepare good Biblical sermons.

We have given Lawrence a copy of Michael Eaton's study on Exodus as a birthday present, as well as a package of worship CDs. Lawrence is now 30 and feeling his age.

I have also been distributing church leaflets in Christian book shops. From the work of writing these I have begun to see that our church is beginning to develop into a form of network church. I need to develop this idea later.
