When God Leads You Into Your Greatest Fear May 30, 2026

Show notes

Why would God lead His people into what looks like a dead end? In Exodus 14, Israel finds itself trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea. What appears to be a disastrous mistake is actually the stage on which God will display His power and faithfulness. This message explores how fear and hopelessness can cause us to turn against the very people trying to help us, but also reveals the patience of a God who does not abandon His people in their weakness. As God parts the sea, defeats Israel’s enemies, and brings His people safely through the waters of judgment, we see a preview of the greater salvation found in Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, Christ stands between us and the judgment we deserve, leading us safely through our greatest enemy—death itself. This sermon invites us to trust God when the road seems blocked, remember our union with Christ, and find freedom from fear in the God who fights for His people.

When Life Doesn’t Seem to Make Sense. May 23, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when God closes the door on a path that seemed good, right, and full of promise? In Exodus 13, God intentionally leads Israel away from the obvious path and into the wilderness. This message explores the painful reality that God’s ways often do not make sense to us in the moment. Through stories of disappointment, unanswered questions, and unexpected detours, we are reminded that God sees what we cannot see and knows what we do not know. Most importantly, this sermon points us to the deeper truth that what ultimately makes a path good is not that it is easy or understandable, but that God Himself walks it with us. From the wilderness of Exodus to the humility of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, we see a Savior who calls us to trust Him even when we cannot yet understand where the path leads. His presence is enough, and in Him we find a safer guide than even the clearest road.

The God Who Makes Foreigners Family May 16, 2026

Show notes

In Exodus 12–13, as Israel leaves Egypt, a surprising detail appears: a mixed multitude goes with them. Some want nothing to do with God, others want His blessings without His people, and still others are drawn to the community without truly surrendering to Him. But in the midst of it all, God reveals a stunning truth—there is a way for outsiders to come near. This message explores the different ways people respond to encountering God and shows how the Passover ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb who was cut off so that foreigners, outsiders, and sinners could be welcomed into the family of God. More than a sermon about church attendance or community, this is a message about union with Christ, the beauty of the church, and the breathtaking grace of a Savior who makes strangers into sons and daughters.

The God who Keeps Watch May 09, 2026

Show notes

Exodus 12 is a very sobering passage. On the night of the Passover, cries rang out across Egypt as death entered every home—except the homes covered by the blood of the lamb. This message explores the seriousness of sin, the horror of judgment, and the breathtaking mercy of a God who stood watch over His people to protect them from the destroyer. More than a story about rescue from slavery, the Passover points us to the greater rescue found in Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb, who shed His blood so that judgment might pass over us. This sermon invites us to see both the devastating cost of sin and the astonishing beauty of God’s grace, and to rest in the God who is still.

keeps watch over His people.

A Meal for the Ages May 02, 2026

Show notes

In Exodus 12:1–27, God meets a world under judgment with surprising grace by providing a way of salvation through the Passover lamb—a sacrifice whose blood turns away wrath and whose meal nourishes and unites His people. This “meal for the ages” reveals how God overcomes the deepest problem of sin: its penalty through atonement, its power through spiritual nourishment, and its isolating effects through restored fellowship. Yet the Passover was never the end of the story—it pointed forward to Jesus Christ, the true Lamb of God, whose blood fully and finally takes away sin. Through Him, we are not only rescued from judgment but invited into a life of satisfaction in God and communion with His people, anticipating the day when we will feast with Him forever in perfect harmony.

The Plan You Wouldn’t Have Chosen Apr 25, 2026

Show notes

When life gets harder instead of better, it’s easy to wonder if God’s plan is really working. In Exodus 9–11, we see that every plague, every delay, and every moment of suffering was not a setback—but part of God’s intentional plan to rescue His people. This message walks through the surprising nature of God’s plan: it includes suffering, requires patience, reveals His power, makes a distinction between His people and the world, and ultimately exceeds anything we could imagine. Most importantly, it points us to Jesus—the greater rescue—where God’s judgment fell not on us, but on His Son. This sermon invites you to trust that even when life feels confusing or painful, God is working a better plan than you can see.

False Repentance vs. True Repentance: Relief or Relationship Apr 18, 2026

Show notes

Pharaoh repeatedly turns to God in moments of crisis—only to harden his heart once relief comes. His story exposes a pattern that is far closer to home than we might like to admit. How often do we seek God when life falls apart, only to drift once things improve? This message explores the difference between false repentance and true repentance, revealing how easy it is to want God’s blessings without actually wanting God Himself. Through the patience of God in the plagues and the beauty of Christ in the gospel, we see that God’s kindness is not meant to be used, but to lead us to repentance. Ultimately, this sermon calls us to stop trying to ‘cheat’ God, to lay down our pride and self-righteousness, and to cling to Jesus—who is better than anything this world could offer.

Why we Struggle to See our Blindness Apr 12, 2026

Show notes

In Exodus 7–10, Pharaoh repeatedly refuses to listen to God, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. His story exposes something deeply unsettling—not just about him, but about us. A hard heart is not just stubborn; it is often blind to its own blindness, quick to justify itself, and resistant to correction. In this message, we explore how our own blind spots keep us from seeing clearly, how we justify what we want to believe, and how we resist the very voices God sends to help us. Yet the gospel offers hope: a God who lovingly confronts us, opens our eyes, and welcomes us even in our blindness. This sermon invites us to move from defensiveness to humility, from hardness to

softness, and to become people who can hear, receive, and be transformed by the truth spoken in love.

When Disappointment Meets the Risen Christ Apr 05, 2026

Show notes

Disappointment is something we all share—from the smallest child to the most accomplished adult. In John 20, we meet Thomas, a man whose deep disappointment led him to deep doubt. But the resurrection of Jesus meets him right there. This message explores how our unmet expectations reveal a deeper longing that nothing in this world can satisfy, and how the risen Christ offers a joy that cannot be taken away. If you’ve ever felt let down by life, this message invites you to discover a hope that is stronger than your disappointment.
