12/18/2022 | “Dangerous Journey” | Matthew 2:1-8

Faith takes you places you would never go.  Following Christ is the safest, most dangerous journey you will take.  The Wise Men followed a star but found a savior.  Their journey was dangerous, but it was they who received the greatest gift.

What about you?  Will you take the safest, most dangerous journey to seek, follow, and worship the one who was born King of the Jews, but who now reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.   Listen as we examine Matthew 2 and consider the dangerous journey of following

12/11/2022 | “Promises Kept” | Matthew 1:18-25

“I shall return!” In 1944 Douglas MacArthur kept an unlikely promise and liberated the Philippines.  It is a great story, but Matthew’s gospel offers an even greater story of promises kept and liberation won just “as it is written.”   Join us as we examine Matthew’s account of Jesus’ birth from Matthew 1:18-25 and consider promises kept.

11/20/2022 | “Well Armed” | Exodus 17:8-16

Pharaoh tried to prevent Israel leaving. Amalek worked to prevent them entering Canaan. But Satan directs it all. Moses tells Joshua to mobilize men. But Israel’s real weapon is prayer. Spiritual warfare demands spiritual weapons. How well armed are you? Join us as we examine Exodus 17:8-16 and see how God arms us well for spiritual warfare through prayer.

11/06/2022 | “On Being Hangry” | Exodus 16:1-36

Are you spiritually hangry? Irritable because God hasn’t made you what you wanted? Nor given what you wanted?  Or you led to a bleak or unpromising place?  In Exodus 16 Israel was hangry. And rebelled against God’s plan to save them. What about you?

Join us as we examine Exodus 16 and consider the dangers of complaint and the gracious means God gives to deliver us.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
