Easter Special
In this episode, we take a one-week break from Exodus to focus on the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. I hope that it will be an encouraging episode for you as we look at 6 prompts to consider about the resurrection.
A Simple Faith
In today's episode, we consider how the Israelites should have had a simple faith- one that simply trusts even when things don't make sense. Do we have a simple faith? Or do we make demands on God? Do we focus on the problem instead of the Lord?
Sing to the Lord
In today's episode we look at Psalm 69 and Exodus 15, asking whether we respond to what God has done with gratitude and praise.
The Red Sea
In the 14th chapter of Exodus, we find the desperate destruction of the wicked and God's deliverance of His covenant people.
The Tenth Plague
What do we do with the tenth plague? Reading through the death of the firstborn can almost make God look cruel... but is He? Of course not. We find the Righteous Judge pronouncing judgement on the unbelieving world, but what also do we find in this passage? The deliverance of God's covenant people and a foreshadowing of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Plagues
In today's episode, we consider the first 9 plagues. What did they mean? Why did God perform such things? Does God still operate like that today?
Dealing with Spiritual Discouragement
In today's episode, we will find Moses as well as the Israelites collectively dealing with spiritual discouragement. What are the sources of spiritual discouragement? How can we address those? What did God reveal to be true for those who were discouraged? To what source of encouragement could they turn?
Belief and Rest
As we finish Exodus 4 and read chapter 5, we will note two primary thoughts: rest and belief. How do they relate to one another? How does our faith in God allow us to enter His rest? Consider these chapters in light of Hebrews 3-4.
Justifying Disobedience
How often do we respond to the Lord's commands with skepticism, doubt, or outright disobedience? And when we are disobedient... how often do we try to justify our rebellion? In today's episode, we are going to learn from the example of Moses. What principles can we apply to our own lives?
A Called Man
Moses was a called man. What does it mean to be a "called" man? Called to do what? What evidence of a call upon your life is there?
