b'Exodus 19\\n\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 1 On the third new moon after the people of Israel\\nhad gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of\\nSinai. 2 They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and\\nthey encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, 3\\nwhile Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying,\\n"Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:\\n4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on\\neagles\' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed\\nobey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among\\nall peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of\\npriests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the\\npeople of Israel."\\n\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 7\\nSo Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these\\nwords that the LORD had commanded him. 8 All the people answered together and\\nsaid, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do." And Moses reported\\nthe words of the people to the LORD. 9 And the LORD said to Moses,\\n"Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear\\nwhen I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." When Moses told\\nthe words of the people to the LORD, 10 the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the\\npeople and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments\\n11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down\\non Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the\\npeople all around, saying, \'Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch\\nthe edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. 13 No hand\\nshall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall\\nnot live.\' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the\\nmountain."\\n\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 14\\nSo Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and\\nthey washed their garments. 15 And he said to the people, "Be ready for\\nthe third day; do not go near a woman." 16 On the morning of the third day\\nthere were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very\\nloud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled. 17 Then Moses\\nbrought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at\\nthe foot of the mountain. 18 Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the\\nLORD had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a\\nkiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly.\\n\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 19\\nAnd as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God\\nanswered him in thunder. 20 The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of\\nthe mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses\\nwent up.\\n\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 21\\nAnd the LORD said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break\\nthrough to the LORD to look and many of them perish. 22 Also let the priests\\nwho come near to the LORD consecrate themselves, lest the LORD break out\\nagainst them." 23 And Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come\\nup to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying, \'Set limits around the\\nmountain and consecrate it.\'" 24 And the LORD said to him, "Go down,\\nand come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people\\nbreak through to come up to the LORD, lest he break out against them." 25\\nSo Moses went down to the people and told them.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nBig\\nIdea: Through Faith in the God who meets us, you are free to be someone\\u2019s\\ntreasure!\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n1.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nTreasures are sought\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n2.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nTreasures are not common\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n3.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nTreasures are communicators of glory\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n1\\nPeter 2:4-12\\n\\n4\\xa0As you come to him, a living stone rejected\\nby men but in the sight of God \\n\\nchosen\\nand precious,5\\xa0you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a\\nspiritual h'
