Messages on Exodus
We Don’t Know What To Do
In this message, we explore what to do when life brings you to a point where you feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of the next steps. Whether you’re dealing with family struggles, unexpected crises, or a sense of hopelessness, we turn to the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 for guidance. Learn how, when faced with impossible odds, he prayed the simple yet powerful prayer: “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
God Is Missional
Today we add the final piece to the description of the character of God, one which is required based on all the other character traits.
God Is Jealous
In this message, we explore a profound and often overlooked aspect of God’s character—His jealousy. Despite being clearly stated in the Bible over 20 times, this trait is frequently misunderstood. We delve into what it means for God to be “jealous,” clarifying the difference between jealousy and envy, and examining how God’s jealousy impacts our relationship with Him.
The Lost Art of Sabbath
We live in a world that tells us we need to always be producing. But God made us and knows that we need rest. Knowing we would never stop working, God commanded that we stop our work every 7 days and give him our time and attention. You would think we would all rejoice with the break, but it forces us to trust that God will provide for us even if we aren’t producing for ourselves. The Israelites First Rest…
An Easter Exodus
Have you ever noticed the similarities between the Exodus of Israel and the Resurrection of Jesus? Where the Israelites looked to the Exodus story as the moment God save them, Jesus came and made a new salvation story, one that set all of humanity free from sin and brought us into an eternal promised land with Jesus as our King! I love the hope and excitement of Easter and its focus on life and salvation! Good Friday is dark and…
The Passover
The 10th and final plague, the death of the first born, only impacted the Egyptians because God passed over the Israelites who sprinkled the blood of a perfect lamb over their door posts. This foreshadowed the work of Jesus, the spotless lamb of God who covers the sin of humanity for all who put his blood over the door posts of their heart. The Message I love the song “Hallelujah, Praise the Lamb”; but have you ever wondered how weird…
The Plagues
Many of us have heard the story of the plagues of Egypt but most of us miss what God is teaching the Israelites and the Egyptians about himself. More importantly, there are lessons for us today about who God is and how he relates to humanity. The Message The early chapters of Exodus read like an epic adventure; and today we begin the climax of the story – the final encounter between the hero and the villain, God and Pharaoh.…
God’s Sovereignty
Have you ever wondered what the Bible meant when it says that “God hardened Pharaoh’s heart”? In this message, we take a look at what that important phrase means in the Exodus story and how we can avoid having hard, stubborn hearts like Pharaoh. The Message Today we come to a slow-down in the action in the book of Exodus. Between where we ended last week (Exodus 6:12) and where we will pick up next week (Exodus 7:8), we read a…
Responding to “No”
In Exodus 5, The Israelites were excited to hear God was going to set them free, but instantly became upset when Pharaoh said “NO” and then increased their work load. Sadly, we often do the same thing; we are so happy with God when we feel like his hand of blessing is on our life but then mad at him at the first sign of adversity. We must learn how to respond when life doesn’t play out how we hoped.…
Circumcision Matters
Some parts of the Bible are unsavory and some stories leave us scratching our head. Today’s story about God wanting to kill Moses right after calling him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt is one of those stories. And even stranger, the entire story is centered on circumcision. But with a surprise twist, looking at other parts of the Bible we see that God has always desired a “circumcision of the heart.” What does this mean? It means God…
