Sun And Moon Stand Still

Posted on November 4, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

I want to read you a story today, a story in the life of Israel and Joshua, their leader. We will be in Joshua 10:1-14. But before we go there, I want us to read a couple of texts that are important to this story. Please stand in honor of this reading:

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Some people think that the Old Testament was written about a different God than the New Testament. Some Christians think that the Old Testament has no purpose now that we have the New Testament. They couldn’t be further wrong. Our Lord Jesus said:

John 5:39 (KJV) SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and THEY ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME.

What was “THE SCRIPTURES” when Jesus said this? There was no New Testament, and no established Church until after the Day of Pentecost. When Jesus said “SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES”, He was talking about the Old Testament. Moses wrote about Jesus. Our Lord said:

John 5:46 (KJV) had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me.

Moses wrote of Jesus. Jesus foreshadowed in every animal sacrifice, every feast, every thing that God did through Israel. Moses wrote of Abraham, and Jesus said to the Pharisees:

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad…. Continue reading →

Exodus Texts: Face To Face Prayer With God (Sermons For Mid-Week Prayer Service)

Posted on March 11, 2022 by bibleteacherorg

What does this mean, that “the Lord spake unto Moses face to face”? Does it mean that Moses saw God’s face? No, because just a few verses later God tells Moses:

Exodus 33:20 And {God} said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

The Bible tells us that “God is Spirit” (John 4:24). As “Spirit”, God has no face as we do. I can look on your face and live, but God’s face is part of His immensity. God is everywhere, infinite. He told the Prophet Jeremiah (23:23-24), “Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.” (ESV). King Solomon, purportedly the wisest man who ever lived, said “Will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27, ESV). God is everywhere. God is fully present everywhere. God is fully powerful everywhere. God is not like us. No, HE IS GOD!

The text tells us that “the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend”. This means that

Moses and God were intimate friends,
just as Abraham and God were friends.

Isaiah 41:8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. (see also 2 Chronicles 20:7 & James 2:23)…. Continue reading →

The Golden Prayer Of Jesus

Posted on November 1, 2018 by bibleteacherorg

God gives us life for a purpose. He gave us tongues and ears for a purpose. Our tongues were given to us to glorify the Lord, to praise Him, to pray to Him. Our tongues were meant to help one another, to communicate, to care. Continue reading →
