Exodus: Into the Wilderness

Part 11: Bigger Battles

June 16, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 18, Exodus 19, Exodus 17

As we conclude our series from Exodus, the people of Israel are faced with a big, external attack from the Amalekites. It stopped their internal grumbling and focused them on the real battle. The story offers guidance for us today, too.

Part 10: Grumbling & Gratitude

June 9, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 15, Exodus 16, Exodus 17

The people of Israel complained. God had led them to a place, but they didn’t feel safe and they didn’t know what would happen next. People today complain, too, for similar reasons. It’s contagious. It’s destructive. And it can wreck our trust in God.

Part 9

June 2, 2024 • Pastor David Creek • Matthew 15:1–9, John 4:24

The foundations of worship are truth and Spirit. This Sunday, Pastor Dave Creek unpacks these principles and what it looks like to live a life worshipful life fully devoted to God.

Part 8: God Leads

May 26, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 13, Exodus 14

The Exodus has reminded every subsequent generation that God goes before us and leads us in surprising, perfect ways. Rituals, rhythms and routines help us not only to live consistently, but also to remember and reflect God’s leading on our lives, our families and our communities.

Part 7: Passover

May 19, 2024 • Pastor David Creek • Exodus 12, Exodus 11

One final, awful plague awaits Egypt. God gives his people a way to escape it—and a vivid preview of his plan of salvation that will become available to all.

Part 6: A Hard Heart

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 7, Exodus 8, Exodus 9, Exodus 10

Something we tend to miss in the book of Exodus is how God uses Pharaoh’s hardened heart to show us our own. Let’s take an uncomfortable look at the ways we compromise our obedience to God … and the destruction this can bring.

Part 5: Broken

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 5, Exodus 6

We all know brokenness in a broken world. Obeying God doesn’t change this—in fact, sometimes life can even become harder. Moses’ response to brokenness, and to God, offers us insights for our lives today.

Part 4: Excuses and Answers

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 3, Exodus 4

Moses had a lot of seemingly good reasons why God should find someone else to lead his people out of Egypt. God answered each of them. Would it surprise you to know that we make those exact excuses today, and that they boil down to the condition of our hearts toward God?

Part 3: Fiery Encounter

April 21, 2024 • Pastor Luke Uran • Exodus 3

God reveals himself to Moses, then reveals the mission he has for him. But not all at once. It’s a pattern God still uses with us today, and it requires steps of faith before we even fully know what he’s calling us to do.

Part 2: God Sees, Hears and Knows

April 14, 2024 • Pastor David Creek • Exodus 2, Psalm 121

Moses’ early life is filled with lessons for us today. When trials, pain and bewilderment arise—and they inevitably do—where do we fix our eyes? We know the Sunday School answer, but how do we truly let God use suffering to form us into the people he made us to be?

Part 1: A Promise and a Plan

April 7, 2024 • Exodus 1

As the huge story of Exodus begins (or rather, continues), God offers a huge view of himself – bigger than people’s suffering or sin. Then he reintroduces a promise he made to his people.
