Title: Remember - Part 2
Author: Steve Lombardo II
Text: Psalm 103
Introduction
1.I want to take you back to the time of Moses. Do you remember Moses, the man called by God to deliver the nation of Israel from slavery in Egypt? This same Moses had a wooden staff that turned into a snake. This same Moses sparred with Pharaoh. This was the Moses through whom God brought the plagues on Egypt. You might remember the scene with Charlton Heston playing Moses when he parted the Red Sea, so the nation of Israel could walk through on dry ground, after which the waves crashed down on Pharaoh's army.

Maybe a bear got him, or he died of old age. So, they decided they needed a god they could see and touch. Aaron was the second in command, so they asked him, "Aaron, give us a god." So, he fashioned a golden calf. Later on, when Moses questioned Aaron about what had happened, Aaron told him, "They brought all their gold to me; I threw it in the fire, and out came this calf." Well, we know it didn't just come out of nowhere. They demanded because they wanted a new god. They wanted to abandon the God who had delivered them out of Egypt and Moses who had led them.
3.While Moses was still up on the mountain, God told him what was happening. Moses came down from the mountain furious at the people, so he broke the tablets God had given him. More importantly, God was angry, and His wrath was kindled against the people. Moses, however, chose to intercede for the people, and God relented. Moses then punished the people by having them grind up the golden calf, put the ground-up gold in ...
