The Bible is a storybook with lots of amazing pictures. The Old Testament, and the book of Exodus in particular, is especially rich in pictures that point forward to Jesus. Today we consider five such pictures that help us grow in our love for the Lord and His Word.

When the people of Israel arrive at Mt. Sinai, God gives Him the Ten Commandments. What were these commands all about? What are we to do with the law today? Is law opposed to grace? This was a milestone in the journey of Israel, and significant in our understanding of God today.

Though the Old Testament sacrificial system seemed barbaric and strange, it had a very real significance, both then and now. We witness its purpose in the exodus, and we can experience its relevance for us today.

In Exodus, we are introduced to Moses, one who would be used by God to deliver his people. He is called by God, and his response to God is supremely important. Likewise, our response to God when He calls us will affect everything and everyone around us.

Joseph's life is a case study in how to handle adversity while still trusting the Lord and keeping your character. As we conclude this series, we consider another piece of his life story in Genesis 39.

A constant theme of the people of God is trust. We saw it in the life of Abraham last week, and we see it in the life of Joseph this week. We can trust the sovereign plan of God even when things don't seem to make any sense.

If you follow God, your faith will be tested. How we respond shows how much we trust this One we believe to be sovereign. In Genesis 22, we witness and learn from the ultimate test of Abraham's faith in God's promises.

In the call to Abraham, God reveals that He is a promise keeper. Not only does he promise, but he provides.

It all starts here, in the beginning. We see the God who existed in the beginning as he creates, sin corrupts, and ultimately, Jesus redeems.

Advent is the celebration of Christ coming to us as a baby. But he was no ordinary child; He was God in the flesh come to bring us hope, peace, joy, and love. Today we consider the timing of Christ's birth.

In our last look at the gentle and lowly heart of Christ, we consider the duration of his love and our only proper response.

This week Jake Garrett shows us the heart of Christ from out of the book of Galatians.

There are many things we long for in our lives, whether big or small. But what does God the Father yearn for? This week we consider what the prophet Jeremiah has to say about the yearning heart of God.

In the book of Lamentations, we can gain wisdom about the Father's heart for us in the midst of our suffering, grief, and affliction.

The heart of Christ is further revealed to us by His promise and provision of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In this sermon, we focus our attention on our divine Helper.

One of the titles given to Jesus during his life and ministry was actually an accusation: he was a friend of sinners. But for those of us who know our frame and understand our depravity, this is good news.

We have a Savior whose heart for us is gentle and lowly. How do his actions toward us compare to the way our culture "cancels" those who have offended it?

Over and over, Jesus invites us to come to Him. As we consider His words in John 6, he gives us further confidence to approach him by assuring he will always receive us.

This week our friend Silas Thompson challenged us from the book of Romans, where we see how the beauty of the gospel creates a burden for missions.

Jesus is divine but not distant or detached. Though he may be in heaven, he is with us and alongside us. This week we consider the solidarity of Christ with us from Hebrews 4:14-16.

As we launch this series, we see the one place in Scripture where Jesus describes his heart for us.
