Finger of God (Plagues Pt. 2) - (Exodus 8-9)

In this sermon we continue our study of the plagues from Exodus 8-9. These chapters highlight God's power and the special care and concern that He shows towards His people. We will also consider the purpose God had for bringing these plagues and the response that He calls us to today.

Am I a part of God's people?
If so, how does He care for me?

For The Love of God...Enough Already (Exodus 4:1-17)

Elder Tom Toone shares from Exodus 4:1-17. In this passage, Moses is told by God to do something for Him, just like He tells us to do things for Him. Moses comes up with reasons/excuses for why he can't do what the Lord is asking, just like we come up with reasons/excuses for ignoring God's directions. God is patient and gracious in reassuring Moses up to a certain point. God is patient and gracious with us as well up to a certain point. Ultimately, it is time for Moses to simply trust and obey God, just like we need to fully trust and obey.

What reasons/excuses do I come up with for not doing what God is asking me to do?
How can I trust and obey God?

What does it mean that God is holy? What difference should that make in my life?

Preserved and Prepared (Exodus 2:1-22)

In this sermon we'll look at the first 80 years of Moses' life from Exodus 2:1-22. We'll see how God preserved Moses' life, how Moses chose to identify with God and His people, and how God prepared Moses for the task that He had in store for him. We will be challenged to praise God for how He has preserved and saved us, to choose a relationship with Him, and to trust Him as He prepares us for His purposes.

Have I chosen a relationship with God?
How have I experienced God preserving and preparing me?

The Value of Life (Exodus 1:8-22)

We continue our new series in Exodus 1:8-22. This passage will teach us the value God places on life and the consequences that can occur when we don't value God's gift of life. We also discover God's loving care for His people and the greatest example of someone who values life in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

How can I live in a way that defends God's gift of life?
