Hello and welcome to Iron Sheep Ministries. Our goal, in everything we do, is to Equip, Build and Strengthen the body of Christ (Based on Eph 4:12). That said, despite our best efforts, we acknowledge that we are all weak, helpless, lost sheep in daily need of our shepherd, Jesus Christ (Isa 53:6). Together we are seeking to learn more about God day by day and to be changed by Him from the inside out.

Exodus 21:1-11 Bible Study - The Book of the Covenant - Slavery in the Bible
May 1 2024
Exodus 21:1-11 Bible Study - The Book of the Covenant - Slavery in the Bible
What does the Bible say about Slavery?  This week we look at Exodus 21:1-11 which holds the ordinances for the Israelites on how to deal with their Hebrew slaves (Jews that were slaves within the Jewish camp).  To better understand what the Bible has to say on the subject we additionally look at Leviticus 25:39-43 and Deuteronomy 15:12-18. Slavery was a common practice of all people groups in Moses' day as well as in Jesus’ day.  In this study, we look at what Jesus has to say to us in how we treat one another and how we ought to serve Him, as a bondslave, a slave by choice. The Bible is not a political book, it tells God’s people how they ought to interact with each other and with Him.  That call is clear, regardless of our station in life, we are to put God first in everything and lift up everyone around us higher than ourselves.  Slave or free we are to work for everyone as working for the Lord, and lift others above ourselves.  Read: 1 Cor 7.17-24, Eph 6:5-9, Php 2:1-18 Outline 01:16 - Introduction: The Book of the Covenant, Ex 21.1-6, 7-11, Slavery in the NT, what does it mean to be a bondservant for Christ? 01:45 - Does the Bible condone slavery? 03:35 - What is the Book of the Covenant?  (Exo 24.7; 2 Kgs 23.2; 2 Chr 34.30; 2 Kgs 23.21) 08:42 - Ex 21.1-11 10:08 - Lev 25.39-43 11:11 - Deut 15.12-18 12:29 - Context: understanding slavery in Moses’ day.

Apr 17 2024
Exodus 20:17 - The 10th Commandment - Don’t Covet
The 10th commandment calls us to not lust after what our neighbor has.  In our modern day, our “neighbor” is far more than the couple that live next door, our neighbors are everyone we know.  Coveting after what they have, desiring it for ourselves leads only to harm and further sin.  Join us as we dive into this final commandment in Exodus 20.17.

Apr 10 2024
Exodus 20:16 - The 9th Commandment - Speak Truth (do not lie)
The 9th commandment calls Israel to “not give false testimony against thy neighbor.”  That command holds true for us today, not to lie but to speak truth.  A lie can be more than just not telling the truth, it can also be misleading or intentionally deceiving.  The Bible calls us to reflect Christ and He is truth!

The 8th commandment calls us not to steal. In this Bible study, we look at what the Bible has to say about possessions. We will also look at ways we steal, that we may justify as being fine.

Exodus 20:14 - The 7th Commandment - Honor Marriage (no adultery)
Mar 27 2024
Exodus 20:14 - The 7th Commandment - Honor Marriage (no adultery)
What is adultery and why does God outlaw it in the 7th commandment?  What does the Bible say about marriage?  What is sexual immorality and how does it relate to marriage and adultery?  What is abstinence and is it honestly still an option in this day and age?  All this and more we discuss in this Bible study looking at Exodus 20.14.

Exodus 18 Bible Study, Moses called to delegate, "what you are doing is not good" - Jethro.
This study we tackle Exodus 18 in which Moses' father in law, Jethro (the Priest of Midian), comes to visit Moses (and the Israelites) on their way to Mount Sinai. Jethro sees Moses sit as judge over all of Israel from morning until evening and says, "what you are doing is not good" (Ex 18.15-16).
