The Story of the Bible
Exodus I: God's Deliverance in Your Dependence
Do you feel as though you are at the end of yourself? God delivered the Israelites from their slavery in Egypt and miraculously parted a sea for them to cross as they depended on his power. If you feel God has led you to deep waters, His love has brought you to the place where you will get to experience his strength and deliverance.
Exodus II: The Power to Obey God
Do you ever feel anxious or stressed in your spiritual journey, like you’ll never be able to change or grow? God gave Israel his law, but they were unable to obey it on their own. Jesus came to fulfill all the law’s requirements and bring grace to humanity’s failure. Those who exercise trust in him and his promises are given the power to obey!
Leviticus: God's Refining Presence
Psychology tells us that energy goes where attention goes. Where is your attention focussed? God gave the Israelites guidelines to follow so that they could exist in his holy, perfect presence, but these were insufficient to deal with the root problem. Now, because Jesus sacrificed his life for our sin, God’s holy presence permeates every part of our lives! When we fix our attention on God and the work he’s doing in us, we grow in holiness.
Numbers: God's Grace in Your Doubts
Ever feel distant from or even done with God? When the Israelites doubted God in their journey through the desert, God continued to care for them in his grace. Whenever we doubt or turn from God, we can be assured that God will not leave us! The strength of God’s love is greater than the weakness of your faith.
