While the symbolism of the tabernacle may seem foreign to us as New Testament believers, the furnishings within and the tabernacle itself point us to the One who was to come and who would fulfil the requirements of a holy God.

Nehemiah, on the other hand, had just the opposite problem as the rebuilding of the city was completed. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he presents Nehemiah’s plan for repopulating the city…and applies those principles to the Christian presence needed in our cities today.

Leadership carries with it a measure of loneliness. The leader must create a vision and motivate his people, and the tendency of the leader is to shoulder the weight alone. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he examines God’s solution for Moses’ overwhelming challenges, how the principles of that solution are valuable to all in positions of leadership.

There were three main routes the Israelites could have taken out of Egypt, but they chose none of them. God led His people through the desert because they had much to learn before they entered the Promised Land.

God’s tenth plague on Egypt was unlike all the others. It revealed God’s bigger plan—a plan that left Egypt paralyzed but would redeem His people by a most unlikely form of deliverance--the blood of a lamb. Join Dr. James Boice as he shows us God’s intention for both the Israelites in Egypt and His people of the new covenant.

The World might see the story of Moses as one of a great leader…or, perhaps as the story of the emancipation of a suppressed people. The Bible, however, portrays it as a battle between the forces of good and evil—a battle between the so-called gods of Egypt and the One, true God, the protector of Israel. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he describes a series of plagues brought on by the God of Moses…and, the impotence of the gods of Egypt.

So, have you been there? You’re serving God faithfully, surrendering your will to His, only to meet with what seems like utter failure?

Why is it that, with all the advantages we have as Christians…the programs, the services, the books and the conferences…most of us make such small gains in living the Christian life? The answer is that we really don’t want to change and we’re content with where we are. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he contrasts our present condition with the state of the Israelites in Nehemiah’s day who embraced change through the winds of revival.

We all arrive at turning points in our lives, but it’s hard to imagine a turning point more momentous then when Moses turned his back on the pleasures of Egypt to become the defender of his people. Yet this noble act was marked by an error common to man. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he continues his study on the life of Moses and an event that threatened to mar a ministry.

The name of the Pharaoh who “knew not Joseph” has been lost in history. He was the king who enslaved the Hebrew people, and—while he feared them—he also needed them. Yet Pharaoh’s cruelty would fit into God’s plan and be the catalyst that would free His people. Join us next time on The Bible Study Hour as Dr. Boice studies the king who knew not Joseph.
