Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter by chapter verse by

verse study through the entire Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck

continues his message, The Living Oracles, as we pick up in Acts chapter 7, verse 36. And now with

today's study, here's Pastor Chuck. He brought them out after that he had

showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for 40 years.

So Moses' life divided up into three 40-year periods. 40 years in the schools of Egypt becoming something. 40 years in the

wilderness, finding out he was nothing. 40 years leading the children of Israel through the

wilderness, finding out that God could take nothing and make something out of it. And so the 40-year

divisions of Moses' life.

This is that Moses which said unto the children of Israel,

a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you

from among your brethren like unto me,

and him shall ye hear this is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake unto him in mount sinai the church in the wilderness the word church

ecclesia in greek literally means the called out ones.
