Scripture:
Exodus 20:1-11
“I am the Lord your God...”


As we resume the story, Moses and the liberated slaves have arrived at the place where Moses first heard God speak—Mt. Horeb. God has a word for the freed slaves. In fact, God has ten words—the Decalogue or Ten Commandments. (Ten commandments means "ten words.") With these words God outlines the nature of a covenant: how Israel is to live in relationship with God and with each other. A covenant is like a contract: I promise to do this and you promise to do that. The commandments also reveal more about the nature of the God who calls a people to spiritual fidelity.

Scripture:
Exodus 3:1-6, 13-15
“I Am”


Have you experienced surprise at the sound of an unfamiliar voice calling your name? Perhaps across a crowded room or on your phone? It can be a disconcerting experience: Who knows my name? Why are they calling me?

Welcome

Welcome to our Bible study blog! One of the adult Sunday school classes at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Orlando, FL, has begun a study called “The Inescapable God” and we would like to share some of the thoughts from that study with others.
