As God calls Moses into action, Moses does his best to prove that he isn’t who God wants. Rather than choosing to prove that Moses is qualified, God instead proves Himself. Exodus 4:1-17

The lead-up to Christmas involves a lot of waiting, as does the Christian life. How can we find hope in our waiting?

Christmas can bring about a lot of complicated feelings. Grief and sadness often keep people out of the Christmas Mood. How can we approach the sorrow of the holidays biblically?

Are you in the Christmas Mood, or are you honestly just too stressed? Stress is just part of the Christmas season. So what does the Bible say to us about stress?

As Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush continues, he’s got questions! Moses asks, “Who am I?” and “Who are you?” The answer to the first question is wrapped up in the answer to the second. Exodus 3:11-22

At the burning bush, Moses experiences the presence of God in a new way, and it changes everything! But his experience was only an echo of what was to come. Exodus 3:1-10

Eager to deliver the Hebrews from slavery, Moses springs into action…and fails massively. Did God make a huge mistake in choosing Moses? Or did God know exactly what He was doing? (Exodus 2:11-25)

Exodus 1:15-2:10 expands in some detail on verse 12 which said, “the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied,” mad leads into the story of Moses. It also raises an interesting question: does God sometimes commend lying?

As we begin our study of Exodus, we establish the context and explore the essential connection that Exodus has to the gospel. Exodus 1:1-14

The letter of Jude shares many direct parallels to 2 Peter. For that reason, we finish out our Living Things Grow series looking at Jude’s call for Christians to “contend for the faith.”

Christopher LaChance finishes out the letter of 2 Peter, diving into how we are meant to grow in grace. 2 Peter 3:14-18

In 2 Peter 3:1-13, Peter shifts his focus to the imminent return of Christ and asks the question, “What sort of people ought we to be” in light of these things?

As Peter continues in his rebuke of false teachers, we can see a variety of traits that we should be careful to address in our own lives and the lives of others. 2 Peter 2:13b-22

As Peter continues his letter, he turns his attention to an enemy of growth in the Christian life: false teachers. What is a false teacher, and what kind of “destructive heresies” were they promoting? 2 Peter 2:1-10a

Just as plants need light to grow, Christians also need to be oriented toward our source of light. 2 Peter 1:16-21)

Peter continues his encouragement toward growth by describing specific qualities that should be increasing in the Christian life. How can we intentionally make every effort to grow in these ways? 2 Peter 1:5-15

As we begin our new series in 2 Peter, we examine the context and focus on the overall theme of the letter: growth! 2 Peter 1:1-4

At the end of the book of Genesis and the story of Joseph, we finally read the iconic line: “What you meant for evil against me, God meant for good.” But how does that work? How can God meant for good evil for good? Genesis 50:50-21

As we read about the deaths of Jacob and Joseph, we see clearly that they finished well. How can we plan to finish well in our own lives? Genesis 49:28-50:14, 22-26)

In Genesis 49:1-27, Jacob speaks a prophetic word over his 12 sons from his deathbed. Some receive good news, others receive a degree of condemnation. The consequences of their actions will span generations! What can we learn about the idea of generational blessings and curses from this passage?

What will be your legacy? What will you pass down? As we come to the end of Genesis, we see a bit of a comparison. Which is more valuable, the wealth passed down by Pharaoh, or the faith heritage of Jacob? Genesis 47:13-48:22

As Jacob and all his offspring make the journey to Egypt, his heart is likely filled with questions. God answers those questions in a vision before they even escape his lips. Is God present and working in the place where we are, with the people around us, in every circumstance, in our normal living, after all this time? Genesis 46:1-47:12

Joseph finally reveals his identity to his brothers, but also makes a bigger reveal: God was behind all that has happened. How are we to comprehend a God that works despite and even through sinfulness, affliction, and disaster? Genesis 45

Joseph encounters his brothers once more, this time initiating a couple of tests. In this story, we see some indication of what it takes to overcome the barriers to reconciliation that we discussed last week. Genesis 43-44

In Genesis 42, Joseph encounters his brothers for the first time in 20 years! But, with all the relational baggage, reconciliation will not come easily. What can we learn about the barriers between us and reconciliation?
