Breaking Free
We Blow It, God Stays
In the end of the book of Exodus, we find a spiritually restless group of Israelites impatiently waiting for Moses to return from the mountain. They abandon their trust in the Lord, instead creating a golden calf to worship in His place. God is furious with their actions, telling Moses He plans to destroy them. Moses pleads for God to relent, and He does. This passage of Scripture reveals a part of God’s character that we often like to ignore.…
The Law
The next few chapters of Exodus bring us to the Ten Commandments. Rules and laws from the Lord may feel restrictive or even cruel. In reality, God gave these laws to the Israelites as a gift — a way to provide structure and peace to the chaos of God’s people as they wandered in the desert.
Whining & Dining
The next few chapters of Exodus are full of both praise and grumbling. The Israelites are quick to forget God’s goodness and faithfulness, and yet, He still provides each time they’re in need. Even when man grumbles and panics, God gives and provides.
Through the Water
As we continue exploring the book of Exodus, we learn that sometimes following God might not be in the direction we think or the time we think. However, there’s always a reason for the way God is leading us. In Exodus 13 and 14, we finally come to one of the most famous parts of this story. Just when the Israelites think all hope is lost, God uses Moses to part the Red Sea and escape the Egyptian army.
A New Tradition
Traditions shape who we are. In Exodus, God established a new tradition through the Passover—a reminder of both His judgment and His mercy. In this sermon, Pastor Brent walks through the tenth plague, the institution of the Passover, and how this moment points directly to Jesus Christ, our true Passover Lamb.
Unstoppable God
As we continue our journey through Exodus, we come to one of the most memorable parts of Moses’ journey. In Exodus 5 – 10, Moses and Aaron challenge Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free. God’s response to Pharaoh’s rejection of their pleas is revealing. God will stop at nothing to save, redeem, and restore.
The Reluctant Rescuer
In the next few chapters of Exodus, Moses enters the scene. From his miraculous birth and discovery by Pharaoh’s daughter to his conversation with God through a burning bush, we find a reluctant rescuer sent to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. Here, we learn that deliverance may not come how or when we think it will.
Bitter Blessings
Dive into the book of Exodus with us in our newest sermon series, exploring the work of God in an enslaved people known as the Israelites. Pastor Brent begins with the first chapter of the book, where we learn the way of blessing is not always easy. In fact, the real path of blessing might just be through hardship and bitterness.
