Few things are more difficult than Moving Day. In Exodus 13, Israel is on the move. To prepare them to travel God gives three things – a plan, a promise, and his presence. All to make it easier for them to follow. Things we also need as we follow Christ. Join us as we examine the departure of Israel from Egypt in Exodus 13:17-22. And as we consider some critical truths about following God when he brings us to our own Moving Day.
At the climax of the exodus, we see more instruction than action. God instructs Israel to keep Passover with diligence and sincerity. We too are instructed to keep the feast. To celebrate Christ our Passover at the Lord’s Table. Are you keeping the feast? Coming in faith? Carefully prepared? Join us as we examine Exodus 12:43-13:16 to consider God’s instructions to his ancient people and to us to keep the feast.
Pharaoh was a know-it-all. He tried to have the last word, but God silenced him with a plague of death. Pharaoh’s son would die. And even Osiris could not stop it. God had the last word of judgement. But it could have been a word of grace.
What about you? When the Lord speaks the best, last word, the word of grace, will you let that be the last word? Join us as we examine God’s last word to Pharaoh in Exodus 11 and consider the importance of giving God the last word.
We’re all afraid of the dark, but the plague of darkness was terrifying beyond imagination. It immobilized Egypt. And brought Pharaoh to the edge of obedience. But only to the edge. Even now, Pharaoh’s heart was hard. What about you? Is your heart hard?
How much judgment must God bring to your life before you will turn to Him? How long will you love darkness? And refuse to come to the ‘light of the world?’ Join us as we examine Exodus 10:21-29 to consider the plague of darkness and its warnings for us.
In Exodus 9, Pharaoh says what he never said – “I have sinned, I am in the wrong.” Is Pharaoh’s heart softening? Is he repentant? His words say ‘yes,’ but what does his life say? Repentance is more than saying ‘sorry.’ Join us as we examine Exodus 9 to consider what repentance is and is not.
