The God Who Commands (11 of 16)
Series: Exodus
Jim Perdue
Exodus 19-22
Intro/Attention
Today, we come to our study in the book of Exodus and we will look at several chapters this morning. *If you imagine I have a remote in my hand, there have been a couple of times we have pressed the ''slow motion'' feature. Other times we've even used the ''rewind'' function. We've even used the nifty ''picture in picture'' feature as we've seen God working in multiple ways at one time. And now, we're going to press ''fast forward'' just a bit. Not too much, I promise.*
This morning, we will study at least four chapters as we consider the sermon subject, The God Who Commands. Find Exodus 19-22 in your Bible. We will most likely even look at about half of chapter 23 as well.

*Admit it, you don't like being told what to do. Most of us don't appreciate being mandated or required to do something. In everyday life, we may find it difficult to respond with a smile when we are being ordered to do something; especially something we don't want to do. Have you stopped to think about how many laws we have in the United States? It is estimated that Congress has enacted approximately 30,000 statutes since 1789. But each law that passes creates an untold number of rules and regulations that federal agencies begin to enforce. For example, over a ten year stretch 4,312 laws were created that led to roughly 89,000 federal rules and regulations. That's a lot! And then, think about some of the crazy laws that are still on the books to this day. In Maryland ...
