God's Law in Our Mouths

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The concept of having the Lord's law in our mouth is a significant aspect of observing the Feast of Unleavened Bread, as it serves as a reminder of God's law and its role in our lives. This day is a sign and a memorial that the Lord's law may be in our mouth, emphasizing that one of the primary reasons for keeping this feast is to focus on His law as a central thrust of our spiritual journey. The phrase "the Lord's law may be in your mouth" encompasses both the intake and expression of God's Word. Just as the mouth is used for eating and speaking, this concept suggests that we are to take in God's law, internalizing it into our hearts and minds, and then express it through our speech and actions. God has made His Word accessible to us, not far off or unattainable, but near, so that it is in our mouths and hearts, enabling us to speak and live it out. This idea is reinforced through the understanding that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. By ingesting God's law through the observance of this holy day, we are reminded annually to purge out sin and embrace the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. The law in our mouth becomes a sign that we are God's people, integral to the process of becoming part of His eternal family. Under the New Covenant, God places His Word in our mouths and His Spirit upon us, aligning us with Him and uniting us in thought, speech, and action. The Feast of Unleavened Bread plays a crucial role in this ongoing process, reminding us each year to actively remove sin and practice righteousness, ensuring that God's law remains in our mouths, hearts, and behaviors as we strive toward the image of Christ.

Unleavened Bread Basics

Sermon by David C. Grabbe

The Feast of Unleavened Bread memorializes God's deliverance from the environment of sin rather than our coming out of sin. Christ embodies sincerity and truth.

Remaining Free

Sermon by David C. Grabbe

Revelation 18 portrays end-time Babylon as a seductive system trafficking not only in material luxury but in the very "souls" of people—enslaving hearts through desire, deception, and idolatry—prompting God's urgent call to "come out" lest His people share in its judgment. This warning echoes the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which memorializes deliverance from Egypt's "house of bondage" and signifies an ongoing commitment to live in freedom through obedience. Scripture—from Exodus and Deuteronomy to Christ's teaching in John 8—frames true liberty as abiding in God's word, where His law functions not as restriction but as protection from sin's captivity. The recurring danger is forgetfulness: prosperity, cultural influence, false teachers, and internal desires (identified as idolatry in passages like Colossians) subtly re-enslave the heart, just as leaven symbolizes corruption permeating life and worship. Against this, believers are called to discern truth (Isaiah 8:20), reject deceptive influences, and remain grounded in sincere, "unleavened" devotion. Ultimately, freedom is not autonomy but allegiance—being released from sin's mastery to serve righteousness through Christ, whose truth alone liberates and sustains deliverance in a world continually pulling toward spiritual bondage.
