God reveals His character through the 10 commandments in Exodus 20.

God's people are attacked by Amalek in Exodus 17 right after they are "saved" by the Rock (Christ) being struck to give life giving water.  This is a picture of how everyone is attacked after they come to Christ by their old sinful nature. Come learn how to be victorious in Christ!

Exodus 17:1-7 will surprise you, but it answers the deep question that people have: Where is God in the midst of my problems?

God moves us from childishness (ignorance of His ways) to righteousness by revealing Himself to His children. The second time the Israelites complained, they have gone from childishness to rebellion. A great message for us to keep moving forward in our faith by trusting God instead of grumbling!

In Exodus 14, God purposely hemmed the Israelites into a cul-de-sac to bait Pharaoh to come after them.  We also can get hemmed in when our old slave master ( our old sinful nature) wants us back and chases us down. But God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to escape, and God gives you a way of escape too.

Exodus 11-12 is about the last plague, a foreshadowing of the reality of Christ.

In Exodus 7 thru 10, we discover nine plagues that deal primarily with God showing both the Hebrews and Egyptians that the gods of this world are false, empty and worthless.  3 points jumped out of the text at the 30,000 ft level.

Exodus 6:1-13;  Moses doubts God's goodness & promises; God gently rebukes him and let's Moses know that He will keep His promises.

In Exodus chapter 5, Moses is surprised when God's children suffer and he blames God. He accuses God of not keeping His promises. Young children are surprised when a Jack-in-the-box pops up; people young in their faith are also surprised when suffering pops up in their lives. 

Moses in Exodus 4:18-31 is still suffering from his crisis of faith; in this text is revealed 5 steps to come back to God.

Moses is still struggling with his failures and self-focus; When God calls him to go to Egypt in Exodus 4:1-17.... he doesn't want to go.

Moses is not sure of God's command to go back to Egypt; Moses learns it is not about himself, it's about the great "I AM"!

Moses finds a burning bush in Exodus 3:1-9. God, up until this moment has not revealed that much about what kind of God He is, but He declares 3 powerful attributes to Moses through the burning bush that answers the haunting question everyone asks: Does God care about my suffering?

Moses flees Egypt feeling like a failure. God will do 6 things to him in the next 40 years to untie the knots in his soul so that he is useful to God.  We learn in God's power structure that failing doesn't make you a failure!

In Exodus 2:11-15, Moses hears God's calling on his life, but determines to be a deliverer in his own strength.  Great lessons to learn for our lives today from Moses!

In Exodus 2, God's people have to make a choice; submit to the new cultural powers or stand against them.

The opening message for a series out of Exodus for the first chapter of Exodus.  The new cultural power is inflicting destruction upon God's people. The audio track skips a little but you'll get the gist of the message.

Paul describes how, when we bless others in their needs, God comes back and blesses the giver by meeting their needs. Powerful stuff from Philippians 4:14-20!

Paul shares the secret of being content in spite of his circumstances in Philippians 4:10-13.

In Philippians 4, we are promised the peace of God and then the God of peace to be in us and with us.  This is the 3rd way Paul describes standing firm in the Lord... that you must think, and you must think on the things of God V8-9.

Philippians 4:4-7 is the second way Paul describes to "stand firm in the Lord in this way" - it's about rejoicing in Jesus!

Paul encourages us to navigate the narrow path in Philippians 3:12-21

Paul describes the incredible joy of getting Jesus.... he lists 5 wonderful treasures in Philippians 3:8-11

 How to trap a monkey! Paul tells us to let go of works-righteousness in Philippians 3:4-7.

Paul gives us the joyful marks of a true Christian in Philippians 3:1-3.
