Who is helping you grow in your faith, and who are you helping grow in theirs?In Exodus 18, Moses is doing everything he can to lead God's people, but he's trying to do it all on his own. When his father-in-law, Jethro, sees what's happening, he offers Moses some much-needed wisdom about leadership, humility, and sharing responsibility.Through this encounter, we discover that God's plan was never for us to walk through life alone. We are called not only to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ but also to help others grow in their faith.Discipleship isn't just about what we know. It's about how we live, who we invest in, and how we point others toward Jesus.

How do you respond when life doesn't go the way you expected? Pressure has a way of revealing what's really in our hearts. In Exodus 17, the Israelites face thirst, frustration, and an unexpected enemy. Their responses remind us how easily hardship can lead to complaining, conflict, and fear. But God calls us to respond differently. Join us as we discover how to handle frustration, support one another when life gets difficult, and follow the example of Jesus when pressure comes.

Are you trusting God for what you need today, or are you too worried about tomorrow?In Exodus 16, the Israelites find themselves in the wilderness, hungry, frustrated, and questioning God's provision. Despite everything God had already done for them, they struggled to trust Him with their next meal.In this message, “Learning to Trust the God Who Provides,” Pastor Nick explores how God used manna from heaven to teach His people an important lesson about faith, obedience, and dependence on Him.Just as God provided for Israel one day at a time, He calls us to trust Him through life's difficulties, receive His blessings with gratitude, and find rest in His faithfulness.

When challenges arise, do you remember God's faithfulness or focus on your circumstances?Just three days after witnessing God part the Red Sea, the Israelites were already grumbling in the wilderness. How quickly we forget what God has done!In this message, guest Pastor Andre Bernier reminds us that mountaintop experiences will be tested, but God's faithfulness never changes.Watch this encouraging message and be reminded to trust God's faithfulness through every trial!

What do you do when God has brought you to the edge of the sea—and there seems to be no way forward?Last week, we saw Israel trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea. God’s path had led them to a place where escape seemed impossible. But the story wasn’t over.In Part 2 of “When God Leads Us Through the Sea,” we continue through Exodus 14 and watch God do what Israel could never do for themselves. He calls them to trust Him, take the next step, and walk through the way He provides.The God who led them to the sea was also the God who would lead them through it. And sometimes, when we cannot see a way forward, God is asking us to trust Him enough to take the next step.

What happens when God leads you to a place where only He can make a way? Sometimes following God doesn’t lead us down the easiest road—it leads us straight into situations where there seems to be no way forward. As Israel leaves Egypt, God deliberately chooses their path, leading them toward the sea while Pharaoh and his army close in behind them. In Part 1 of When God Leads Us Through the Sea, we see that God’s way is not always the shortest way, and that God sometimes leads us into places we would never choose for ourselves. But a difficult road doesn’t mean we took a wrong turn. Sometimes the place that feels like a dead end is exactly where God intends to reveal who He is. Israel has reached the sea. Pharaoh is coming. There appears to be nowhere to go.

How quickly do we forget what God has done when we’re already looking ahead to what comes next? After generations in Egypt, Israel was finally free. God had broken Pharaoh’s power, brought His people out of slavery, and kept every promise He had made. But as they stepped into freedom, God gave them an important command: Remember. In Exodus 12:31–42 and 13:1–16, we’ll see why remembering God’s deliverance matters. God calls His people to never forget what He rescued them from, to let His deliverance shape the way they live, and to tell the next generation what He has done. The same is true for us. We were never meant to simply receive God’s grace and move on. Remember your deliverance. Live like you’ve been set free. Tell the story.

What does it really take to be saved?In Exodus 11–12, judgment is coming to Egypt—but God provides a way of rescue. The difference between judgment and deliverance is the blood of a spotless lamb.The Passover points us forward to an even greater deliverance. Jesus, the Lamb of God, shed His blood so that we could be rescued from sin and death. In “The Blood That Saves,” we’ll discover how the first Passover points directly to the cross and why the blood of Jesus remains our only hope for salvation.

Are you responding to God’s warnings—or simply getting better at living with them?In Exodus 9, Pharaoh receives warning after warning, yet his heart continues to harden. Each plague reveals God’s power, His patience, and the seriousness of resisting His word. This week, we’ll see that God’s warnings are not meant to be ignored—they are invitations to listen, repent, and worship Him before a hardened heart makes obedience even harder.

**What happens when the things we trust in fail us?**In Exodus 8, Egypt is overrun with frogs as Pharaoh continues to resist God’s command to let His people go. But this strange plague is about more than frogs—it is a direct confrontation between the one true God and the false gods of Egypt.As the frogs invade every part of Egyptian life, God exposes the weakness of what Egypt trusted in and reveals His unmatched authority. And yet, even after experiencing God’s power firsthand, Pharaoh continues to harden his heart.This week, we’ll see how God exposes the things we put our trust in, why counterfeit power always falls short, and the danger of recognizing God’s authority without actually surrendering to Him.Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, our sermon ran longer than usual. The recording was only scheduled until 11:25 and cut off before the baptisms—but THEY happened! Pictures coming soon!

What does it take for us to truly know that God is Lord?In “So That You Will Know I Am the Lord,” we continue our journey through Exodus and see God confront Pharaoh through His power over Egypt and the Nile. Exodus 7 reminds us that God’s power cannot be matched, His purposes cannot be stopped, and He alone is worthy of our trust and worship.Join us as we discover what this ancient story reveals about knowing and trusting the Lord today.

When following God makes life harder, will you keep trusting Him even before you see the outcome?In Exodus 5, Moses and Aaron do exactly what God called them to do. But Pharaoh refuses to listen, the Israelites’ suffering increases, and Moses is left wondering what went wrong. Sometimes obedience doesn’t bring immediate relief. Sometimes following God leads us straight into resistance, disappointment, and circumstances we never expected.This week, we’ll see that difficult circumstances don’t necessarily mean we’ve missed God’s will. When obedience makes life harder, we can still trust that God is at work—even when we can’t yet see what He is doing.

Have you ever felt like God could never use someone like you?Moses had every excuse. He questioned himself, doubted his abilities, feared failure, and even asked God to send someone else. Yet God didn't withdraw His call—He faithfully equipped the one He had chosen.In Exodus 4, we discover that God is greater than our doubts, our excuses, and our weaknesses. The same God who called Moses still calls ordinary people today and promises to provide everything they need to accomplish His purposes.

What happens when God calls ordinary people to extraordinary things?In Week 2 of our Exodus: The God Who Delivers series, we journey to the burning bush in Exodus 3, where God reveals His holiness, His compassion, and His name to Moses. Before God ever gives Moses a mission, He reveals who He is.

Have you ever wondered where God is when nothing seems to be happening?The book of Exodus begins in an unexpected place—not with miracles or the Red Sea, but with years of silence, suffering, and waiting. Yet behind the scenes, God was faithfully preparing His plan of redemption.In this first message of our new series through Exodus, we'll discover that even when God seems silent, He is still at work, keeping His promises and accomplishing His purposes.
