EXODUS: The Ten Commandments (Part One)

Weekly Messages ·

2024/04/21

Could you name the Ten Commandments? Studies done over the years show that the majority of Americans and even Christians struggle to recall them. While memorization is valuable, it's more important for us to grasp the truths embedded within the words spoken by God to His people. Truths that are still relevant for us today. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Why is it important to understand that the commandments are a faithful response to God and not a prerequisite for a relationship with God

EXODUS: The Mountain of God

Weekly Messages ·

2024/04/14

The people have reached Mount Sinai. The mountain where it all began–just as God had promised when He first appeared to Moses in a burning bush: I will be with you, and this shall be a sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain. The promise is being fulfilled. The time has come for them to meet the God they will serve. Will they obey His voice? Will we?

EXODUS: The Wilderness

Weekly Messages ·

I am a sucker for survival shows. Shows where people are dropped into remote locations and they have to live off the land. There is a reason why those shows are filmed in non-arid settings. There is no harsher survival setting than the wilderness of the desert where there is no relief from the scorching sun and the parched earth seems to stretch on forever. After the Red Sea event, this is where Israel found themselves. In an existentially threatening environment. The wilderness. They learned some

Looking For Life In All The Wrong Places

Weekly Messages ·

2024/03/31

There are certain places that one can and should expect to find certain things. For example, if you want good food or quick food, there are right places to look and there are wrong places to look. There is one thing the world is desperately seeking, but will never find no matter how hard they try – life. The world is desperate to be and feel truly alive, but it will never happen, at least not in a way that lasts, because the world is looking for life in all the wrong places. What about you?

The Lion and the Lamb

Weekly Messages ·

2024/03/24

Nothing Jesus ever did was by accident. If you look closely every detail matters. One example of this is the specific date Jesus rode into Jerusalem one final time for a passover celebration. The date of His triumphal entry was just as significant as the day itself. What happened that day tells us that the Jews in Jerusalem believed that Jesus was their long awaited King, but the literal date tells us something they didn't see, something they misunderstood: Jesus was not just their conquering King,

EXODUS: The Red Sea

Weekly Messages ·

2024/03/17

Fear is an interesting word in the Bible, isn’t it? Its meaning is twofold—in one sense it means dread and in another it means reverence. Unfortunately, these two types of fear are enemies of one another. Mutually exclusive. You can only go with one fear at a time. The former stops you dead in your tracks. The latter leads to life. At the Red Sea, the people made their choice. Which will you choose? -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Look again at the references to Joseph’s charge about his

EXODUS: The Passover

Have you ever had an experience that you never want to forget? Or maybe an event that looking back, meant your life would never be the same? Like the thrill of starting fresh in a new city, the excitement of landing your dream job, the magic of meeting the love of your life, or all the feels that fill you when you hold your child for the first time. For the people of Israel, such a moment has arrived, one so monumental that their God reset their entire calendar for it: the Passover. -- Questions

EXODUS: The Heart of Pharaoh

Weekly Messages ·

2024/03/03

Jeremiah 17:9 reads, “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick; who can understand it?” The answer to Jeremiah’s question is “God, and God alone.” He not only understands the heart but is completely sovereign over the heart and is the only one wise enough, good enough, and great enough to use even the most wicked of human hearts in accomplishing His perfect plan and purpose. Don’t believe me? I give you Exhibit A: The Heart of Pharaoh. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion

EXODUS: The Plagues: That They Might Know That I Am...

Weekly Messages ·

2024/02/25

We’ve reached the infamous showdown between God and Pharaoh with a capital “P,” who in a way represents all of us. He is the archetype of the wickedness and stubbornness of the human heart. “Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice?” Pharaoh asks. The Plagues are God’s answer to the question. He is God and there is no other. How will we respond? -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion How does God’s purpose in the plagues—that people would know that He is Yahweh—represent the opportunity for

EXODUS: Confronting Pharaoh

Weekly Messages ·

2024/02/18

After Moses and Aaron first confront Pharaoh, things go from bad to worse for the people of God, and understandably, the people can't deal with it. It’s not a question of “if,” but “when.” Jesus once said that we can all expect trouble in this world. How will we ever learn to deal with it? God has the answer to our question. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion When facing the troubles of the world, hatred and/or hardship in life, where do you typically turn for help?

EXODUS: The Excuses of Moses

Weekly Messages ·

2024/02/11

Moses lives in our memory as one of the greatest leaders in the history of God’s people, but it's important to remember where he began: insecure, uncertain, unprepared, and unworthy. He was entirely insufficient (in every sense of the word) for facing Pharaoh, but he’d soon learn that the LORD was sufficient enough. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion What is your regular rhythm for spending time in the presence of God in your life?

EXODUS: The Call of Moses

This week we are introduced to Moses. Moses' remarkable story reveals to us that God desires a relationship with His people and goes to great (often unexpected) lengths to make it happen. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion How can we be more attentive to the work God is doing in our lives, especially in those aspects that we might not think to look? Are there areas in your life where you might be tempted to think that God is not actively involved or has forgotten? How does this passage in

EXODUS: And God Knew

Weekly Messages ·

2024/01/28

The Book of Exodus tells an important story. And by story, I don’t mean a fictional story, but a factual one. It is a timelessly true story about God and what He does for His people—He was, is, and ever will be the God who provided ‘a way out’ for his people, who were slaves in Egypt, and He is still providing a way out today. In fact, right from the opening chapters of the book, it becomes clear that “God knows” He knows you. He knows what you are going through. And He knows what He is doing to

This week we wrap up our ALL IN series with the call to love God with all of our strength. What is strength? What does it mean to have strength? How do I love God with all my strength? The answers from scripture might surprise you. Thankfully, it’s got little to do with moving monster trucks with ropes. -- Questions for Personal Reflection and Group Discussion Reflect upon your understanding of the term me’od and how it goes beyond physical strength.

ALL IN: All Your Mind

Weekly Messages ·

2024/01/14

This week we discuss the importance of loving God with all of our minds. I find it interesting that the Word commands us to love God with all our mind. We don’t usually speak of love in terms of intellectual activity. In fact, most of our understanding of love today is described in passive categories. We speak not of jumping in love but falling in love, like it is an accident that just happens to us. But loving God is no accident. And it cannot happen without the mind. Let’s talk about it. --

Loving God with all our heart makes sense to us. What else would we or could we love God with besides our heart? Well, God commands a few things.

ALL IN: All Your Heart

This week we start a new sermon series titled “All In,” which most commonly refers to a move in a poker game where a player bets all of his or her chips on one hand. However, that phrase has caught on to the larger culture beyond poker games. Nowadays, it simply implies that someone is fully committed. You hear it everywhere—whether in business talk, catchy marketing campaigns, sports pep talks, and even in discussions about faith. One could say that the Bible had the contemporary meaning of “all

The Gift of Joy

Ever notice how the holiday season, meant to be a time of joy, turns into a stress-fest? The pressure for perfection in decorations, gifts, and gatherings, coupled with social media's picture-perfect standards, leads to nothing but all out chaos. Add in the financial strain, family dynamics, and the ticking clock of holiday deadlines – it's the perfect storm of stress.

The Gift of Peace

2024 marks an election year, and it is shaping up to be unlike anything I've witnessed in my lifetime. Unfortunately, every four years, our nation appears to be growing more and more divided. This division has reached a point where the idea of a government embodying justice and righteousness seems unimaginable, let alone one characterized by enduring absolute justice. Can you imagine? A government so just and so good that there is only and always an ever-increasing peace in the world? It’s a
