The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

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significance of the Sabbath, arguing that it is a gift of God designed for rest and rejuvenation, not a burden or an outdated law.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.

09. Tomorrow! (Exodus 8:1-32)

I get it really excited about the Bible every time I open it and there are times that it's more exciting than other times but I just really love the Word of God and I want to encourage you even before we read this in some ways this is kind of an obscure passage it's like well what are we going to get out of this plagues You know, lice, frogs, I mean, you know, let's get to something that talks about love and God's faithfulness and his plan for our life.
 
Well, this is part of God's love, part of God's plan, part of his faithfulness.

08. Dealing with a Stubborn Heart (Exodus 7:1-25)

I entitled the message "dealing with a stubborn heart" and I was thinking to myself a stubborn heart, not that any of us have ever had a stubborn heart, but I've had a stubborn heart before, and we've all struggled with it.
 
In fact, when we're thinking of children right now, we're thinking about the fact that every child has a stubborn heart. It's kind of just ingrained in children. You don't have to teach a child to be stubborn. They seem they know how to do that on their own without any instruction at all.

07. What's Holding You Back? (Exodus 6:1-30)

By way of brief review, you'll recall that the people of Israel have been in Egypt for about 430 years at this point. They entered the country with the favor of the Egyptians under Joseph's leadership, but the winds of adversity began to blow against Israel as a new king was raised up in Egypt, and they were enslaved and put into bondage to build a lot of the major grain buildings and the pyramids of Egypt. And this went on for 400 years.
 
 
In the last part of chapter five, we hear the comforting words of God Almighty to a servant Moses.  Verse one we find, if you're following along in the notes, the assurance of the lord to Moses and he says now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh because of my mighty hand he will let them go by my mighty hand Pharaoh himself will drive the Israelites out.  It's such a wonderful thing right out of the gate looking at the mighty hand of God. What a wonderful thing to know that Moses didn't have to do this. Imagine, he couldn't, he killed one Egyptian 40 years earlier and ruined his life, and really delayed his calling.
