Old Testament (310)
  1. Yahweh tells his people that they “shall have no other gods before me,” he’s speaking into a culture whose very fabric is made up of the worship of other gods.
  2. Yahweh who is pierced and mourned in prophecy is Jesus who is pierced and mourned in fulfillment.
  3. The only hope for idol-addicted sinners who are utterly incapable of decluttering their souls is Jesus, the one at the heart of the gospel, and the only one who stands before the Father with an undivided heart.
  4. We draw near because Christ our Mediator has gone where we never could, and he has brought us with him.
  5. The Israelite God was different from all the other gods, thus, the worship of Yahweh differed from that of all other gods.
  6. From the very beginning, the community that God was forming was going to be much more inclusive than anyone could have imagined.
  7. Even when the bitter places sink down deep into our bones, the Restorer never relinquishes his grip on you.
  8. What Israel’s story makes painfully obvious is that following the Lord is a lifelong lesson in “I believe, but help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24).
  9. The reasoning was always the same. The gods were angry. The gods were hungry. The gods required payment.
  10. God wasn’t finished with Israel just yet. The wilderness wasn’t their home.
  11. Salvation is not merely to be put in “safety” but to be put into Christ.
  12. His provision always flows downward, furnishing and filling us with his grace and truth right where we are.
