God’s people are finally free! Moses and the people burst into song, singing about who God is, His saving work, and where He will lead them. When God rescues, we respond with praise. We sing of His power, love, and how He saves us to bring us closer to Him.

In Exodus 14, we see God's unmatched glory and supreme uniqueness. He saves His people, controls every detail, and defeats evil. His power is limitless, leading hearts to trust in Him and His Mediator. Nothing is greater than God.

In Exodus, God leads His people with visible signs showing He is with them. He hardened Pharaoh’s heart to display His power. When trials and life’s challenges distract us, God commands us to fear not, stand firm, and be silent. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. We can’t see everything He sees. Our journey is one of faith. Trust Him!…

Since Jesus' resurrection, we've been given the Holy Spirit to share the gospel. Don’t give up when people don’t listen, or when life is hard. Suffering brings us closer to Jesus, who will raise you up, and it’s God’s work to save, ours to share.

The 10th plague brought the Destroyer, God’s wrath for sin to the first born of that house. Only those who obeyed His Word and placed the blood of the lamb on their door were spared from death. Then and today, all who call upon the LORD, and trust in the blood of Jesus Christ to cover our sins and protect us will be saved. Be ready!…

In Exodus 12:14-20, the Feast of Unleavened Bread shows the importance of removing the old leaven, just as God delivered Israel from Egypt. Today, it's a memorial of His saving grace, urging us to examine our hearts, mourn our sin, and support each other in repentance.

Even as God's last plague strikes, His actions in freeing the Israelites are meant to display His character and justice. These events happen so we’ll know Him, draw near to Him and proclaim His name.

In the last phase of God's plagues, He shows His power and purpose, while Pharaoh's hard heart resists. Instead of quick destruction, God wanted to reveal Himself so we would know and proclaim Him. Trust that God is revealing Himself in your life.

In Exodus, God strikes Egypt with plagues, and we explore how an encounter with God can change us forever. Embrace who God is and let your heart grow in love towards Him. Hard times can harden hearts but also show our need for God.

Pharaoh’s hard heart looked to the waters of the Nile for life. God showed His power by turning it to blood and death. When we, like Pharaoh, seek life elsewhere, we harden our hearts towards God. Peace and life come from God alone. Jesus is our living water and only hope and security.

God gives grace to those whose hearts are bent toward Him. His words, signs, wonders, purpose and plan transform our hearts through the power of His Spirit in us. Everything unfolds just as He wills, showing the world that He is God.

When we want things too much, they can replace God in our priorities. Not being content with what God has given us is like living as if He doesn’t exist. We guard against covetousness and idolatry when we give back to God and give to others.

God chooses flawed Moses to represent His people. God works through Moses and Aaron's imperfect priestly lineage to accomplish His perfect plan. He displays His power, keeps His promises, and leads His people to freedom.
…

Jesus has made reconciliation with God possible for believers. Baptism, a symbol of our union with Christ, is for those drawn by God to faith and repentance, calling on Jesus' name. The Lord's Supper commemorates and proclaims Jesus' death.

We hear seven glorious promises from the LORD directing us where to go in times when things go from bad to worse. They soothe our souls and speak to what our hearts crave. Jesus tells us to bring our burdens to Him and He will deliver and bless us in our trials.

Psalm 51 shows us how to process our emotions and bring our burden of guilt to God. By acknowledging and confessing our wrongdoing, we are brought to repentance and restoration. Only God can transform our sinful hearts and make us righteous through the cross of Jesus.

Like Moses, we cling to a God unlike any we can image, made possible through a covenant of His grace. God's priority for you is does not conform to our idea of ease, rather it is for your knowledge of God's sovereignty over all and His fathomless concern for you.

God reveals Himself to Moses in the form of a burning bush and gives him a mission and the promise needed to accomplish it.

We also learn how the same promise that enabled Moses’ mission, also enables ours today.…

What does it mean to be a Christian? Is it about behavior, political stances or moral status? Paul’s letter to the Philippians makes it clear that being a Christian means you have had an authentic encounter with the risen Christ, that your heart has been changed by the resurrected Jesus. A Christian Counts every Good Work As Loss, Counts Knowing Ch…

Moses foreshadows the rejection of Jesus' salvation offer. God wants to deliver us, and yet without God's own intervention we will reject Him. God is the hero at work in our lives to rescue us!

God shows His love through His plan to save us at the right time by the substitutionary death of Jesus. The more the gift cost the giver and the less the recipient deserves it, the greater the love is seen to be. God poured out His wrath on His only Son so that you and I could be saved.

God is with you and is active in your world. God prepares you today, as he did in the past, for the trials ahead by promising He will be with you. Even as God works in your waiting, He hears you, remembers you, sees you, and knows you.

Is our relationship with God transactional? Is God's blessing dependent on our obedience? Yes, God has always required perfect obedience for blessing. Jesus Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us by hanging on the tree. The blessings of God come to all His people through the perfect obedience of Jesus.…

Pharaoh ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill all newborn Israelite boys. But they feared God more than Pharaoh and spared the babies lives. Their fear honored God because He is the most powerful and most worthy; He is most able to protect and satisfy our souls.

Live for Jesus so that His NAME will be glorified in you. In scripture we see the uses of God's name presented under three main categories: (1) God empowers His people (authority given by the Lord of creation) (2) God is infinite (praiseworthy in everything) (3) God shall be glorified (the awe of his reputation and attributes)…

God defines who you are so you can battle the lies of the world and be encouraged in your soul. Your TRUE identity is that of a new creation through Jesus Christ, and it is defined in scripture by God based on who HE is and for His glory.

continue reading
Putting the Christmas Story in the context of redemptive history, we look back over the Old Testament to see how God has given little glimpse of Himself--justice, mercy, sacrifice, and silence while working behind the scenes. Jesus coming to the Earth was the moment all were waiting for---breaking the silence, the fulfillment of all redemptive hist…

Paul's letter ends with instructions for the nurturing of relationships within the church.

Prophecy is a gift of the Holy Spirit which allows the sharing of a message from God. God makes this gift a priority above all other spiritual gifts and warns against quenching or ignoring the Spirit’s leadings. Paul urges believers to "eagerly desire" the gift of prophecy. We are encouraged to ask God to help us hear from Him both to advance His m…

Paul tells us we should always rejoice, pray and and give thanks to God—but this is only possible if we are “in Jesus”. This union with Jesus is key to our joy in doing the will of God and pleasing Him.

Paul addresses the Thessalonian church, giving guidance for relating to church leaders and to each other. Today, believers are still encouraged to actively walk together by respecting our leaders, encouraging the faint hearted, admonishing the idle, helping the weak, and praying for patience with all, as we prepare for Jesus’s return.…
…
continue reading
Paul teaches the Day of the Lord is sure and will bring inescapable judgement on sinners. For those of us who have accepted salvation through Jesus, we are not subject to God's wrath but will have eternal life. As we wait, believers should stay spiritually sober and encourage one other, growing in faith, hope, and love.…

Paul assures the Thessalonians that when Jesus returns both those “asleep” in Christ and living believers will be with Him. Our grief and unanswered questions about death pale in the light of our hope. Jesus conquered death, it is no longer final! There is nothing in life or death that can break our union with Him forever.…

In the account of Jesus cleansing the temple, we see that God cares about how and where we worship. Today, the house of God is no longer a building-- Jesus is God's temple. The ultimate demonstration of Jesus' zeal was the willing sacrifice of His own life to cleanse His people with mercy and grace.
