07-31-22 When Moses' anger got the best of him
July 31, 2022 • Pastor Chris Weatherly
Moses like so many of us dealt with anger and frustrations. He even lashed out at others. Sometimes his anger went too far and caused real consequences. Today we learn the consequences of an angry heart and how to respond differently.
07-24-22 Meeting God On The Mountain
July 24, 2022 • Pastor George Gasperson • Exodus 19
In today’s story from the life of Moses, Israel finally meets the God who has supported them and helped them and led them since they were slaves in Egypt. But meeting God face to face is much different than meeting another person. Being in the physical presence of God is a terrifying experience, and it requires detailed preparation.
07-17-22 Seeing God's Heart in the Desert
July 17, 2022 • Pastor George Gasperson • Exodus 15—17
Now that Pharaoh and his army is gone, God leads them out into the desert toward Mt. Sinai. The desert is a hot, dry, frustrating place, and it doesn’t take long before the Israelites begin to complain. But God doesn’t react to their complaints as you might expect. This story shows God’s heart for the Israelites.
07-10-22 Moses and the Red Sea
July 10, 2022 • Pastor George Gasperson • Exodus 14
The theological lesson of the Exodus story is that whatever difficulties or trials or problems we find ourselves in today, we are not waiting for God’s deliverance. Our deliverance has already come through the person of Jesus Christ. Our Egypt is behind us! Like the Israelites, we were once slaves of our sins, unable to save ourselves. But God sent Jesus to lead us out of bondage, crossing over into freedom. All who are in Christ are moving from one country to another, led by Jesus himself. Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
06-19-22 Moses and the Nine Plagues
June 19, 2022 • Pastor George Gasperson
While in the wilderness, Moses meets God at the burning bush and receives a call to return to Egypt and lead the Israelites out of captivity. But between them and freedom stands a hard-hearted Pharaoh who will refuse to listen to God. In response, God unleashes a series of plagues designed to convince Pharaoh to relent. This week, we’ll talk about the first nine plagues, saving the final plague for next week.
06-05-22 In The Wilderness
June 5, 2022 • Exodus 2:15–22
In today’s message, Moses finds himself in God’s great school- the school of the wilderness. For 40 years Moses tends sheep in Midian. But this isn’t wasted time. By spending time in the wilderness, God taught Moses some important skills that he would need later in life.
