What is it? That is the question! The Israelites walk through the wilderness. They see these flakes of bread, and they ask, what is it? Which asks us to consider what God's provision will look like? And how does the belief that God does provide free us up to live into the mission of God?
Crossing the Red Sea was actually a baptism. It was a baptism that took the Israelites from fear to trust, from slavery to freedom. Find out how we also enter into that baptism as followers of Jesus.
Passover is a Jewish holiday that has been held throughout the ages. And yet, it is the greatest picture the Old Testament gives us of what Christ did for us on the cross. It’s no coincidence that Jesus died just after celebrating Passover with His disciples. So, what does this mean for us today—and how can we fully live in the grace God offers through Jesus, our ultimate Passover Lamb?
In the ninth plague, God released a darkness that could be felt. What does that mean for us today when we feel the darkness? How do we find God's light in the midst of dark times?
We think of salvation as just an individual thing. What if God wants to save communities? And if so, how do we participate in that work?
Have you ever noticed that life is more complex than we wish it was? That we'd like things to be an A plus B equals C equation, but sometimes it feels like a lot more complicated than that. Exodus 5 and 6 begin to pull back the curtains and show us both the depths and complexity of reality, but more importantly, the God who stands behind it and with us.
God is always at work in our lives and in the world. And God is always inviting us to join Him in what He is doing. So, what keeps us from responding to His invitation? What gets in our way? And how can we become free to say, “Yes?” Let’s consider those questions and the answer this Sunday as we gather for worship.
Moses felt disorientation about his identity. But that disorientation somehow drove him to the mountain of God. In a world that feels at times very disorienting, how do we allow that uncomfortable feeling to move us towards God's kingdom?
As we begin a new series, we are looking at what it means to reclaim holy time and space. Whether we are aware of it or not, there has never been a greater market for our time than at moment in human history. So what does it mean to reclaim time, and how does that help create holy space? How do these things find their roots in the early books of the Bible? Join us as we reclaim holy time and space with a walk through the book of Exodus.
We've looked at personal and social holiness. This week, we will look at the mission of holiness. Why does God call us to be holy as he was holy? How does that play into our purpose as God's people?
Is holiness only a personal matter, or is it also something social? What does it mean to care deeply about my own relationship with God while also being concerned for the spiritual lives of those around me? Find out with us!
Contrary to popular belief, holiness is a gift. It's a gift we embody in our person, and it's a gift we live in as the body of Christ. Over the next three weeks, we will spend a brief series on embodying holiness, both personally and as a community.
This week we continue our sermon series on worship by wrestling with a tough question: Just how do Christians go about worshiping God during hard times? When faced with corruption, persecution, and cruelty, what can we do to draw closer to Jesus and to find deeper faith and greater hope? We'll discover that words written to persecuted Christians nineteen centuries ago — by an elderly prisoner in exile on a remote island — offer strength, comfort, and encouragement to followers of Christ today. Join us as we explore one of the most beautiful and hope-filled passages in all of Scripture, Revelation 21.
