Exodus 2:1-15

Rachel Conner, the executive pastor of Sugar Land Vineyard in Texas, joins us to lead us through Exodus 1:15-22 as we considered what the text tells us about the redemptive nature of God, and what is it about the nature of humanity that requires redemption.

Ted Kim brings us the first message in our series “The Gospel According to Exodus.” In this message, he gives an overview of the book, and talks about how this book can speak to our current circumstances.

Does Spiritual Warfare still occur today? How can we arm ourselves against it?

Many of the New Year’s Resolutions that we make stem from an internal sense of agitation that we have to constantly become more, better, and different than we currently are. What if there was a better way to start the New Year? Today we look at the Old Testament command to practice the Year of Jubilee, and how it applies to our context today.

Christmas is all about Christ making his home in us so that we could return home – to the home of God.

As we close our series, we look at the strange nature of Biblical signs. Noah got an olive branch, Moses a burning bush, the Israelites a cloud by day and fire by night. But King Ahaz? He got the strangest sign of all – and it’s good news for the entire universe.

Advent is a valley, the time between the first coming and the second. Valleys, at least in part, happen because of leadership crisis. We are more or less facing one now. And Israel was in the same predicament. But out of the shorn stump of Jesse comes a branch, a root, a shoot that will save us all.

It’s the first Sunday of Advent, that time in the church calendar when we remember the first coming of Jesus and look forward to his return. We’re following along the lectionary in the Book of Isaiah and we begin with the solid, lasting, durable nature of Biblical hope. Indeed, it’s more solid than a mountain.

To close out our “Come, Holy Spirit” series, today we consider how to go out into the world and embody the Spirit everywhere we go. This means we become people who are both naturally supernatural, and people who have the Spirit indwelled in them. How do we do this? By being vessels filled with the fruit of the Spirit.

Why sometimes people aren’t healed and why we should keep praying.

Believers in Jesus cohabitat with a powerful new roommate: The Holy Spirit. The Spirit not only gives us power to change, but makes the Gospel real to our hearts so that we become a strange kind of people: people who love radically and live in freedom.

Our focus on the Person and the Work of the Holy Spirit continues with the often misunderstood sign and wonder of the Kingdom: tongues. What is it? Can everyone do it? Should we seek it for ourselves?

Many of us are so hungry to hear God’s voice, but we have no idea how to go about it. The Apostle Paul shows us how in 1 Cor. 14! Join us as we explore this chapter.

Guest speaker Dr. Jordan Seng on the ministry of faith.

Today we answer two essential questions: Who is the Holy Spirit? Why is it desperately important for us to know him? We’re looking at three different episodes of the Spirit in the Scriptures to help us.

The story of God’s people includes the story of being in wilderness places with few signs of life and little hope. Yet the very presence and glory of God is found there. What does it mean to be formed as God’s collective people in this context?

Nearly single person who has summitted the mountain of personal achievement wants more. Why? Because fulfillment is found in the surprising reality of togetherness.

Today’s message is a conversation between pastors Jess Sales and Keva Green, with special guest Angie Wezsley. Angie is the Executive Director of ProGrace, an organization helping Christians re-frame abortion as a Kingdom issue, not a poltical one. This Gospel centered conversation explores a “third way” response to abortion, one that recognizes the inherent dignity, worth and value of both mother...

While the world would teach us that peace is an inner state achieved through the capacity of an individual, Jesus gives us the good news that Peace is a Person, and his name is the Holy Spirit.

Last week, we tackled the gracious words of Jesus in Matt. 6: If we seek his kingdom, we’ll get the King. This week, we drill down into the “seeing” of Matthew 6. How does seeing aid the seeking? And how does seeing, then, help us to unwind anxiety?

Our world is choked by chronic anxiety. With love and compassion, Jesus steps into the fear and uncertainty and tells us, “Do not be anxious!” “Do not be afraid!” “Do not let your hearts be troubled!” Let’s dive in to the Sermon of the Mount to see how these commands are laden with promise, not condemnation.
