Gleanings from the Pentateuch The Unfolding Story of the Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God “God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule and blessing”

The Kingdom of God Begins with Abraham: His people – the seed of Abraham His place – the promised land His blessing – His favor and presence

The Call of Moses Principles: 2. God is gracious in His patience and provision for us He aims to grow us in our dependence upon Him He often stretches us beyond our comfort zone

The Call of Moses Principles: 3. God will not indulge disobedience to His word
