Moses

Passing the Baton

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Steve Swinburne

Moses passes the baton of leadership to his willing and competent younger assistant, Joshua. Passing the baton of leadership is a challenge for any family, organization or country. What qualities qualified Joshua for leadership? Moses recognized Joshua's faith, his hunger, and his maturity.

Speak to the Rock

August 11, 2024 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • Exodus 17:1–7, Numbers 20:1–13

Twice the Israelites confront Moses questioning God's provision in the desert, specifically about water. On each occasion Moses cries out to the Lord and God gives instructions. Comparing and contrasting these experiences gives us insight into our own struggles and how we engage with God. These stories demonstrate that we honor the holiness of God by trusting in His methods of provision. God provides, but not always as we expect.

The Ten Commandments

August 4, 2024 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • Exodus 20:1–17

At a pivotal moment in Israel's history God gives Moses the Ten Commandments. This set of laws contain the building blocks of a healthy public life. Each command brings with it an expectation of what could be if we choose to heed God's wisdom for mankind.

The Bittersweet Exodus

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • Exodus 15:22–27

You would think being delivered out of slavery would bring a sense of freedom and joy, a timed marked by celebration and exuberance, but the Hebrew camp is filled with grumblings and discontent. We all have bittersweet times in our lives, moments marked by joy and pain. These moments reveal the true condition of our souls and the temptation is to project this discontentment onto the leaders in our lives; whether spiritual leaders, employers, or political leaders. It's here where we need to examine our hearts for this bitterness and allow Jesus to be our hope and source of life, love and compassion for ourselves and others.

Insecurity Meets Calling

July 14, 2024 • Pastor Alex Krum • Exodus 3:1–15, Matthew 28:19–20

Moses encounters God at the burning bush and walks away with the calling of leadership on his life. Moses' identity appears to be in shambles after half a life of not finding a foundation to rest it on. As God places the mantle of leadership on him Moses squirms under the weight of the task by seemingly disqualifying himself for the role. Then he turns his questions of identity inside out, asking God for his name; and the I AM responds with profound depth and cultural insight, cutting to the core of Moses' struggle and revealing the importance of God's with-ness with him.

Destiny Interrupted

July 7, 2024 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • Exodus 1—2

Moses is one of the greatest figures in Biblical history. He's revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Very little is written on his early life, yet, these years appear to have set the stage for the character he would need in leading God's people out of slavery in Egypt to the boarder of the Promised Land.
