10/30/2022 | “First Steps” | Exodus 15:22-27

Posted on by

The Red Sea was just a beginning. For God’s people, infancy is over. It is time to take the first steps of new life in Christ. Steps that lead them to endure trial, exercise faith, and enjoy the Lord no matter how bitter the water appears to be.

Have you taken those first steps of faith to follow Christ?  Join us as we examine Exodus 15:22-27 and consider God’s gracious work of sanctification in the life of the believer as he teaches us to endure trial, exercise faith, and enjoy him, no matter what.

10/23/2022 | “Greatest Hits” | Exodus 15:1-21

Posted on by

The Bible is full of music. Hymns that equip us to live victoriously. Psalms to express every fear, concern, and emotion to the Lord. And spiritual songs that move us from fear to faith in any crisis. What songs tell your story? 

What is the music of your heart and soul?  Is it Songs of Zion? The Song of Moses and of the Lamb?   These are God’s greatest hits.  Songs to be sung around the throne for all eternity.  Are they the soundtrack of your life? Join us as we examine the Song of the Sea in Exodus 15 and consider what it teaches about who God is, what he has done, what he does, and what he will do.

10/09/2022 | “A Rock and a Hard Place” | Exodus 14:1-14

Posted on by

Are you between a rock and a hard place – at work, in relationships, with decisions, or in your faith? Don’t panic, accuse, or despair as the Israelites did at the Red Sea. But “fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord.”

What is your response when you are between the rock and the hard place?  Join us as we examine Exodus 14:1-14 and consider how God places us in hard places to show us that he will make a way when there seems to be no way.  And that He, himself, is that way.

01/22/2023 | “Getting Ready” | Exodus 19:1-25

In Exodus 19, the Lord prepares Israel for married life with him. The ‘storm theophany’ at Sinai is no mere magical moment in their relationship.  But meant to prepare them for wedded life with Him as his “treasured possession,” not just for the wedding.

Join us as we examine Exodus 19 and consider how God prepares his people, Israel, and us to live as redeemed people.

10/02/2022 | “Moving Day” | Exodus 13:17-22

Posted on by

Few things are more difficult than Moving Day. In Exodus 13, Israel is on the move. To prepare them to travel God gives three things – a plan, a promise, and his presence.  All to make it easier for them to follow. Things we also need as we follow Christ.  Join us as we examine the departure of Israel from Egypt in Exodus 13:17-22.  And as we consider some critical truths about following God when he brings us to our own Moving Day. 

09/25/2022 | “Keeping the Feast” | Exodus 12:43-13:16

Posted on by

At the climax of the exodus, we see more instruction than action. God instructs Israel to keep Passover with diligence and sincerity. We too are instructed to keep the feast. To celebrate Christ our Passover at the Lord’s Table. Are you keeping the feast? Coming in faith? Carefully prepared?  Join us as we examine Exodus 12:43-13:16 to consider God’s instructions to his ancient people and to us to keep the feast.

09/18/2022 | “Fallout” | Exodus 12:29-42

Posted on by

‘Fallout’ is an idiom for the downstream consequences of a catastrophe.    The plagues of Egypt were catastrophic.  And in their fallout, God kept all his promises.  Complete judgement for unbelievers and deliverance for believers.  Which are you?

Join us as we examine Exodus 12:29-42 and consider the catastrophe of God’s righteous judgement and the fallout that brings death to unbelievers and life to believers.

09/11/2022 | “Memory Palace” | Exodus 12:1-28

Posted on by

Rituals and ‘means of grace’ are vital to faith and life.  They activate and improve our spiritual memory.  Help us keep perspective.  This is why the statement “I’m spiritual, but not religious” is untenable.  Spirituality without ‘religion’ will always become cognitively impaired forgetting that I am not god and my opinion not ultimate truth.   God graciously gives us means of remembrance.  Before the final plague, God prepared the people, giving them rituals for remembrance.  Join us as we consider the Passover in Exodus 12 and the importance of remembrance.

09/04/2022 | “The Last Word” | Exodus 11:1-10

Posted on by

Pharaoh was a know-it-all. He tried to have the last word, but God silenced him with a plague of death. Pharaoh’s son would die. And even Osiris could not stop it.  God had the last word of judgement.  But it could have been a word of grace.

What about you?  When the Lord speaks the best, last word, the word of grace, will you let that be the last word?  Join us as we examine God’s last word to Pharaoh in Exodus 11 and consider the importance of giving God the last word.

08/28/2022 | “Deepest Darkness” | Exodus 10:21-29

Posted on by

We’re all afraid of the dark, but the plague of darkness was terrifying beyond imagination. It immobilized Egypt. And brought Pharaoh to the edge of obedience. But only to the edge. Even now, Pharaoh’s heart was hard. What about you? Is your heart hard?

How much judgment must God bring to your life before you will turn to Him?   How long will you love darkness?  And refuse to come to the ‘light of the world?’  Join us as we examine Exodus 10:21-29 to consider the plague of darkness and its warnings for us.
