In this sermon we look at the first Passover and the Israelites, well...um, exodus from Exodus 12. We talk about how the exodus is a picture of how God rescues us through the death of the lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

How did God rescue the Israelites from slavery in Egypt?
How does He rescue us from slavery to sin?

This week we are going to be looking at Isaiah 62, the whole chapter. One core tenet of East Shore is evangelism, we love it, we share the gospel every week. We collect the evangelism stories each week to encourage us to press on.
As this is Pastor Tom's final sermon, he wants to encourage you all the more to continue sharing the gospel! It is Pastor Tom’s prayer that Isaiah 62 will only strengthen that passion of gospel proclamation.

In this sermon we are going to look at the 9th plague, the darkness covering over Egypt. It is a fitting passage for Easter Sunday because we will see that Jesus also faced the darkness and overcame it, which means all of us, through Christ, are brought out of the darkness.

In this sermon we finish our study of the plagues from Exodus 10-11. Throughout this section we'll see rising tension as God brings more devastation on Egypt. At the same time, more and more people in Egypt are understanding who God is, but Pharaoh still refuses to budge until it is too late. Our time one earth will run out too, but (as long as we have breath) it is not too late for us to turn to God!

What does this passage teach me about God?
How do I respond to what God does?

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?

In this sermon we will look at Exodus 5-6. We'll talk about Moses' first failed effort to free the Israelites and what we should do when things seem to go from bad to worse. When things seem to go wrong, we can trust that God is with us.

When things seem to go wrong in my life, what do I do?

What should I do?

In this sermon we will look at Exodus 5-6. We'll talk about Moses' first failed effort to free the Israelites and what we should do when things seem to go from bad to worse. When things seem to go wrong, we can trust that God is with us.

When things seem to go wrong in my life, what do I do?

What should I do?

In this sermon we'll consider what it means to be a son or child of God from Exodus 4:18-31. We'll talk about how God is in control of everything that happens to us and how He defends and rescues His people. In response, He calls us to obey and worship Him.

Am I a child of God?

If so, what difference does that make in my life?

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?

In this sermon we look at the powerful first encounter Moses has with God at the burning bush from Exodus Chapter 3. Along with Moses, we will learn that God is holy, that He is our deliverer, that He will be with us, that He is the great I AM, and that He is in control of all things.
What does it mean that God is holy? What difference should that make in my life?

Exodus 2:23-25 will lead us to rejoice in the truths that God hears us when we call, God remembers His relationship with us, God sees what we are going through, and God fully and completely knows us.

Do I really believe that God hears, sees, and knows me?

What difference does that belief make in my life?

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?

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.

What happens when people do not value life?
How can I live in a way that defends God's gift of life?

We begin a new sermon series through the book of Exodus. Exodus emphasizes what God has done to bring us (His people) into His presence and into a relationship with Him. This message will look at Exodus 1:1-7 and be an introduction to the book as a whole, highlighting the main theme of God's presence with us.

Pastor Tom encourages us from Psalm 126. We will be challenged to press on with joy, to worship God expecting Him to work, and to commit more than ever to live a life fully surrendered to Him.

Do I expect God to work in m life?
What would it look like to be joyfully surrendered to God?

A sermon from Elvis Ritz, a seminary student at Messiah University.

In this sermon we talk about the amazing truth of Christ's resurrection and the amazing results that it has for our lives. Christ came to die and”

Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

In this sermon we talk about the amazing truth of Christ's resurrection and the amazing results that it has for our lives. Christ came to die and rise again, so that sinners could be restored to a right relationship with the Lord. That amazing truth should give us hope in dark times and inspire us to tell us about our amazing Jesus this Christmas!

Mark 15:40-47 will show us the followers of Jesus who remained faithful to Him even after His death. Several women and Joseph of Arimathea showed courage in the darkness by continuing to live for Christ, even when it would have been extremely difficult to do so. Because of the gospel/good news of Christ's death and resurrection, we can find hope and courage even in the darkest moments of our lives.

When life is hard, what do I do?
What gives me hope and inspires courage in dark times?
