God is Not Safe, But He is Good

November 17, 2019 • Pastor Tim Veenstra

Moses has been called by God to Egypt, but his mission is not an easy one. After Pharaoh resists the hand of God nine times, the wrath of God is about to be unleashed. The wrath of God is not commonly talked about, and in many cases, it is a forgotten part of His character. May the Church and the world never lose sight of the fact that God is not safe; He is an all-consuming fire.

Here We Go Again...and Again...and Again!

November 24, 2019 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht

We were not designed to live repeating the same sins over and over again. God never intended for us to make promises to Him that we can’t keep. The Israelites practiced the same failures repetitively. Not only did they do it in the Old Testament, that pattern often becomes the norm for us. But there’s a better way to live. The power of Christ not only forgives us our sins but gives us the power to live victoriously over the repetitive cycle of sin. “If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed!” –John 8:36

The Burning Bush

October 27, 2019 • Pastor Tim Veenstra

The nation of Israel has grown in population since the time of Joseph, and so has the fear of the Egyptians. In response, the Israelites are thrown into slavery to control a potential uprising. A lot of time passes, and it seems as though God has forgotten his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However, God has heard the cries, remembers the covenant, and is preparing Moses to lead His people out of Egypt. Moses must now answer the call.

Joseph—A Portrait of Jesus

October 20, 2019 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht

It’s amazing how two people can look at the same picture and see totally different things. While it’s the same picture, two totally opposite views emerge. Who do people see when they look at you? Do they see the person you think you are, or do they see something totally different? Joseph, the young man with the coat of many colors, gives us a portrait of Jesus. Through him, we can see Jesus. Can Jesus be seen in us?
