From the Altar to the Table
March 27, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Exodus 24:1–11
When Paul teaches the Corinthian church about Communion in 1 Corinthian 10-11, he uses the people of Israel and the sacrifices in the Jewish Temple as a way of describing what takes place during Communion. In this message we explore the significance of those temple sacrifices and what they teach us about our experience at Communion.
Jehovah-Rapha, The Lord Who Heals
March 3, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Exodus 15:22–27
In Exodus 15, Israel was at another dead end. After wandering in the heat of the desert for three days without any water, Israel was one the brink of death. They desperately needed water if they had any hope of survival. Just when it looked like their prayers were answered, everything came crashing down. The water they found was too bitter to drink! God showed up in a mighty way and turned their bitter water into life-giving water. In the same vein, God shows up for us in our dead-end moments to bring us hope and renewal. He is the Lord Who Heals.
