Recognizing My Season

Ecclesiastes teaches us that “there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” The seasons we experience in life, whether joyful or difficult, teach us Who is in control and how to respond to the larger story God is writing in our lives. Follow along for the next few weeks as we learn how to find God in the midst of every season!

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.…

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.

Transformed from Orphan to Child

God desires an intimate, personal relationship with you. And in order to get it, He wants to adopt you into His family. Listen as Pastor Brent intertwines his family’s story with the story of God in one of his favorite sermons. Jesus didn’t just come to redeem; He came to adopt.

Responding to the Snapshots of God

As this sermon series comes to an end, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves more about how we see all the unique facets of God’s character. Which snapshot we’ve discussed over the past few weeks most resonated with you? What challenged you? Listen and reflect as Pastor Brent helps us come to a deeper understanding of who God is and how we perceive Him.

God as Potter

God is a Potter, skillfully shaping us and applying pressure when necessary to make our lives as beautiful as they can be. This snapshot of God reveals His creativity, intimacy, intentionality, and sovereignty. How is the Potter shaping your life?

God as Judge

Why does thinking of God as a “judge” often make us uncomfortable? This important snapshot of God might not look like what we think it looks like. In Scripture, we find a Judge who is good—one who desires the restoration of all things, justice for the oppressed, and the final end to violence. God’s love and justice are not opposed to each other. They are intimately and integrally intertwined.
