P175 Parash 17 Yitro (Jethro/Abundance) Sh’mot/Exodus 18:1 – 20:23
Theme & Message
– The focus of this lesson is the order of God’s kingdom. There is no
other god before Him. Before any person, family, tribe, or nation can begin
to realize the peace and prosperity of the kingdom the Lord has created, they
must first recognize the power, supremacy and omnipotence of the one true God.
Before we can draw near to him, before we can learn about Him, before we can
learn His ways, we must fear and respect Him. God’s order among men
begins with the choosing of leaders in spiritual teaching and government.
Once we place the Lord above all other gods in our hearts, He will show us
His ways, and teach us His commandments. It is through this process that we
will belong to the Lord and share in the riches and the abundance of
His kingdom. |
