Struggles in Ministry

Exodus 5

As we’ve read about Moses’ story we see that God had a plan for his entire life. God has repeatedly attempted to connect with Moses and God has been patient with Moses. Chapter 5 opens with the fact that God was on the move! So why did the conditions get worse? Satan loves to sift us as we step out in to trust God. He brings discouragement, pressure and attacks to make us want to give up and go back. This is what Moses was wrestling with and it’s something that you and I wrestle with today.

The Reason for My Hope

November 20, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Exodus 12

As we continue studying thru the Old Testament, we’ve come to the final plague – death of the firstborn. God was passing over Egypt and delivering His final blow to those who resisted Him. This 10th plague is the most devastating of all plagues – death! So far, God has been patient with people for an extended period of time, but He systematically toppled all the god’s of the Egyptians. At each exchange between Moses & Pharaoh, there was an opportunity for Pharaoh to submit. Yet he chose to harden his heart instead and take his chances against God. Now the consequences were catching up with him.

National Stability

When we say, “God’s in control and working everything out in the world.” Many times that comes across as meaningless. We simply don’t understand it fully! God was patient with Pharaoh but the time came for judgment. Here’s a few simple applications as we look at a A safe country, a declining country, and where’s my country.

Refusing Instruction

October 23, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Exodus 10

As we continue to navigate thru the OT we’re working our way thru the 10-Plagues of Egypt; A series of judgments poured out by God. At the end of each of these plagues Pharaoh become more resistant and refused to give God His people! God says He had two purposes for these plagues, to show unbelievers His power (v.1) & To provide a deliverance story for His people (v.2) A Memorable moment to pass on to their kids & grandkids about how the hand of God moved on their behalf!
