SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 19
Today’s Chapters: Leviticus 1-5
Pete’s Thoughts:
Leviticus 1
This chapter covers burnt offerings. Look again at the price that must be paid for sin. Hebrews tells us that there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. God required an animal without blemish. He didn’t want the people to give Him their weak and wounded creatures. [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 18
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 36-40
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 36
Pay attention to the design that went into the creation of the Tabernacle. They put so much detail into every little piece because they knew that this was to be the place for God. Do we spend this much detail in our relationship with Christ?
Exodus 37-39
Here we find the other [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 17
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 31-35
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 31
I always find it so amazing that God specifically choose the men he wanted to design the works for the Tabernacle. I know that God knows everyone intimately but sometimes it needs to sink in again. God had gifted these men with specific skills and wanted them to use their [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 16
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 26-30
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 26
It is amazing to look at all the detail that went into the design of the Tabernacle. God wanted it to be a uniquely special place for the people to meet with and worship Him. Do we treat our place of worship with the same reverence? It is a special [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 15
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 21-25
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 21
Here is the famous section talking about punishment and retribution – an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It is important to understand that basis for the laws so that justice may be upheld without partiality. That is why, when forming the first laws for the [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 14
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 16-20
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 16
What an amazing what in which God provided food for His people. Every day, they would go out and gather enough food for that day. They had to trust God daily for the provisions that they needed. God is faithful and will always provide for all our needs.
Exodus 17
Part of [...]

SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 13
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 11-15
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 11-12
Here is the final and most devastating plague – the death of the firstborn. The amazing thing is that out of all this death and suffering taking place around this 10th plague, there is joy in the origin of the Passover. This is a great reflection of our lives as [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 12
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 6-10
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 6
I find it so amazing that God was going to so impact Pharaoh’s life that Pharaoh would not only let the Israelites go, we would in fact drive them from his land. Our God is so amazing He can use even a pagan king to accomplish His will.
Exodus 7
Verse 1 [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 11
Today’s Chapters: Exodus 1-5
Pete’s Thoughts:
Exodus 1
After reading through the book of Genesis, we understand the circumstances that brought the children of Israel to Egypt – it was God’s plan to save them from the famine that was going to effect the land. Knowing that God had a plan to take them down to Egypt, we [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 10
Today’s Chapters: Genesis 46-50
Pete’s Thoughts:
Genesis 46
Jacob moves to Egypt along with everyone and all he has. After seeing he son, Joseph, he is at peace and ready to die. By moving everyone down to Egypt, Jacob’s family was saved from the famine and setup the circumstances for the Israelites to make an exodus from Egypt [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 9
Today’s Chapters: Genesis 41-45
Pete’s Thoughts:
Genesis 41
I find the patience of Joseph to be amazing. The passage of time is told in such simple terms in verse 1 that we often over look it. Two years passed before the butler remembered Joseph and how the butler was saved by him. We have no commentary on those [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 8
Today’s Chapters: Genesis 36-40
Pete’s Thoughts:
Genesis 36
I find it very interesting that Moses, as the author of the book of Genesis, emphasizes several times in this chapter that Esau is Edom (meaning red from chapter 25). He is reminding us of the one mistake that cost him his birthright. There are consequences that we sometimes have [...]
SRC: The Pentateuch – Day 7
Today’s Chapters: Genesis 31-35
Pete’s Thoughts:
Genesis 31
Through out the Old Testament, you will often read about people heaping stones into a pile as a memorial. These were set to be stones that brought to mind the occurrence of their heaping. In other words, they were markers for big events that were to remind you of those [...]
