The provided text is an excerpt from a sermon by Pastor Bob Hallman, who explores the Ten Commandments, emphasizing their relevance for modern life.

Hallman then examines the commandments in detail, interpreting each one in light of contemporary concerns and illustrating their application to personal life. He emphasizes that the commandments, while highlighting our inherent sinfulness, ultimately point towards the need for salvation through Jesus Christ. By recognizing our sinfulness, we can embrace the redemptive work of Christ and live lives dedicated to loving God and others.

20. Tyranny of the Urgent (Exodus 18:1-27)

This is a sermon from Pastor Bob Hallman, drawing from the biblical story of Moses and Jethro in Exodus 18. Hallman uses this story to discuss the importance of prioritizing what is important in life over what is urgent. He argues that many people, particularly those in ministry, fall into the trap of constantly tending to urgent demands, neglecting their important relationships, quiet times with God, and personal growth. He draws a parallel between Jethro’s advice to Moses and the importance of delegation and discipleship, encouraging listeners to cultivate a mindset that prioritizes spiritual growth and family above all else.

18. What is it? (Exodus 16:1-36)

This sermon by Pastor Bob Hallman, from the series in Exodus focuses on the story of the Israelites' journey through the desert, particularly their experience with manna. The sermon's structure revolves around three key themes: grumbling, manna, and the Sabbath.
Pastor Hallman emphasizes the negative impact of grumbling, both in our relationship with God and others, and offers practical suggestions for overcoming this habit. He then draws parallels between manna, the miraculous bread from heaven that sustained the Israelites, and Christ, highlighting the life-giving nature of Jesus' ministry.
Finally, he explores the significance of the Sabbath, arguing that it is a gift of God designed for rest and rejuvenation, not a burden or an outdated law. The overall purpose of the sermon is to encourage listeners to cultivate a deeper relationship with God by acknowledging their own struggles, trusting in God's provision, and embracing the gift of rest.

17. The Song of the Redeemed (Exodus 15:1-27)

This sermon by Pastor Bob Hallman is based on the book of Exodus, specifically Moses's song after the Israelites escaped from Egypt. He uses the Israelites' journey as a metaphor for the Christian life, highlighting how God tests and refines his people through difficult times. Pastor Hallman emphasizes that God's power is evident, not just in grand miracles like parting the Red Sea, but also in small, everyday situations. He encourages listeners to trust God's plan, embrace challenges, and express their worship through singing and praising God.

15. The Consecration of the Firstborn (Exodus 13:1-22)

Exodus chapter 13, and we're continuing our study through the book of Exodus.
I've entitled the message today, "The Consecration of the First Born." I'd like to begin as usual by reading the text in its entirety, and then we'll spend the balance of our time considering its application to our life this morning.
 
It's interesting how he begins this particular passage of scripture in Exodus 13 by talking about consecration. That word means to dedicate or to devote or to set. Listen to the rest of the message.

14. Death of the First Born (Exodus 12:29-51)

Holy Spirit, we're asking that you just fill us up. Fill us up. You've already done such a great work in us, but we're looking forward to what you're going to teach us in the Word. And we're asking God, would you, by your spirit, fill us, fill us again, overflow our lives.
 
For those that are discouraged this morning, fill them with hope. For those that are overwhelmed, God, fill them with confidence that you are powerful. God, for those
that are anxious about things, remind them of your sovereignty, that you are still on your throne, that you have not moved, that you are secure, that you are unchanging, and you are going to fulfill every promise, every good purpose that you have for us in Christ. God, give us a peace in our heart that passes human understanding.
 
And God, I pray that the result would be praise and worship to your name, and that your heart would be pleasure as you see us walk after you, God, longing for you, ministering to you, and enjoying an ever -deepening walk and relationship with our King. And we pray all these things in Jesus' name.

13. Jesus in the Passover (Exodus 12:1-28)

We're looking at the Passover and its institution, instructions, and I've entitled the message, Jesus in the Passover, because he is everywhere. From the beginning of Genesis to the very end of Revelation, Christ is in the pages, and probably in no stronger and more obvious place than in the Passover meal that God instituted as they prepared to leave Egypt from their slavery
and to go toward the promised land that God had promised. I'd like to begin by reading, we're not going to tackle the entire chapter, we're going to split it in two.

12. The Beginning of the End (Exodus 11:1-10)

It's interesting that this particular chapter is really a prelude to the tenth plague. Nothing really happens in this chapter except a lot of prophecy in this in these ten short verses We have no fewer than 15 prophetic predictive events that God says are going to happen. And as I read through this, I thought, man, this chapter is just filled with prophecy. And often we don't think of the Old Testament as having prophecy except related to the first coming of Christ.

10. The Consequences of a Hard Heart (Exodus 9:1-35)

I don't know about you, but I find it amazing how resilient Pharaoh is. Not everyone really has an idea. There's some speculation about how long all these events took place for the ten plagues, but some have speculated approximately eight weeks. I just can't imagine a worse eight weeks in your entire life. I mean, one of these plagues would have been just a terrifying,
dreadful thing to have happen to anyone or any nation. But they have ten, one after another, after another, after another, because one man has such a hard heart.
 
And the question I had as I was thinking this through is how could his heart get so hard? How could a man's heart be so blind and so resistant and so rebellious.
