A good morning remnant of the church, I think I need to look at the camera and say good morning to those of you joining us online as well. Since about half of you aren’t here, it will not be the last snow we have this winter. Little bit of challenge to those you online. If Amazon can still deliver your packages in the snow. You can make it to church in the snow as well. Yeah, preaching to the choir here. Go ahead. Grab your Bibles. Open up to Exodus. You can actually open up to Exodus 21 we’re going to start in Exodus 21 as you’re turning there, what was your most difficult roommate situation? I think we got some options, right? Some of you on the younger side, you might think the only roommate I’ve ever had is a sibling, but that can be a real one. Of course, a sibling, you know, who makes too much noise when he goes to bed you’re already asleep and wakes you up, that kind of thing. Or maybe it’s a spouse who snores, that’s a possibility. I think, though for a lot of us, it would have been in our 20s. You know that college age? That’s when some of the tough ones show up, right? That was mine, anyway. So I had my first roommate in college was an aspiring sportscaster and kind of a weird dude Not gonna lie. Okay, and so he failed out of college after his first semester because he would stay up all night playing video games, which is not unusual. I know that happens a lot of guys, but he was announcing the video games as he was playing them in the middle of the night four feet from where I’m trying to sleep. So that was a difficult one for me. At least Living together is tough, is the point. And so if you’re living with people, you need rules. Probably need to set some expectations, and the more people you got, the more rules you need. And that’s what God gives us here in our lengthy passage this morning. So we’ve just gotten the 10 Commandments right. He brings his 10 words, which are these big principles for living. He takes these 10 Commandments and he brings them down to the level of the mundane like the daily. What does it look like practically for you to live out these principles, and what do you do when people don’t live them out like You shall not steal, okay, but somebody stole, so what happens now? What do we do? Does it matter the motivation? Does it matter? How much all these kinds of questions, how exactly do I love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and love my neighbor as myself, like show it to me practically. And I think what we’re going to see here, as we look at these varied laws, which are really like case laws, case studies, almost, we’re going to see is that trust in God, like, if we really believe in God, that should affect every area of our lives, how we live is going to look different every area of our lives. Our faith is going to work its way into every nook and cranny of our lives, like water filling every crevice in a basin. So we’re going to see laws about the household, work like finance and business, sex, animals, rest, property. There is no area where he is not Lord, including a lot of the areas, by the way that people fight about today, we’re going to see laws today about things like the death penalty, premarital sex, slavery, lawsuits, how to care for orphans and the poor. These are big issues, which is a good reminder, since these are still live issues for us today, that’s a good reminder, because we’re starting what is, for some people, the boring part of Exodus. Boring very much in scare quotes there actually, from here to the rest of the book, we’ve only got really one more story, and that’s the golden calf, which is a famous story. But the rest of it is going to be rules and regulations in a lot of ways, but it shouldn’t be boring to us. We should be riveted and excited to study it in part because it’s in God’s Word. We know that all God’s word is useful for teaching rebuking, correcting and training in righ...
