The victory we see in Exodus 17:8-16 isn't one that is achieved through great strategy or overwhelming numbers and human feats of strength. This victory is a direct result of God's will and strength. This passage reminds us that there are battles that need fought, we need to be united in this fight, and we need the LORD to be our strength in the fight. Exodus 17:8-16 8 Then Amalek came and fought...

Israel tests the LORD in the wilderness, yet God graciously provides water from the rock. In this sermon Pastor David explores how the rock points to Christ, the life-giving Rock, who gives the living water that alone can satisfy the thirsty soul." Exodus 17:1-7 Water from the Rock 1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the comman...

The Waters of Marah 22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water. 23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.) 24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” 25 And Moses cried out to the L...

There are situations in our lives when normal speech doesn't seem right; our hearts are too full. What's needed in these moments is a song. In the text we come to this morning, the people of Israel have just been rescued from certain death and they are so full of praise that they have to sing to the LORD. This is the Song of Moses. 11 “Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, maje...

The mission given to us by the Lord Jesus Himself, "Go therefore and Make Disciples of all nations," is something every Christian is called to take part in. That being said, making disciples should look less like addition and more like multiplication. It shouldn't be a handful of people who make disciples, and then later make some more. Instead, it should be Disciples - Making Disciples - Making D...

Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Luke 10:1-9 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of...

The Gospel transforms the lives of individuals and the lives of entire communities. In this sermon Pastor David explains that if we really want the Gospel to saturate our community, it must first saturate our lives. For Brookville to be transformed by the Good News, Christians must be living transformed lives. Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present you...

John 17:20-23 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. 22 The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are one, 23 I in them and You in Me, that they...

The Exodus with the crossing of the Red Sea is one of the most climactic rescues in Scripture, but it points forward to an even greater Exodus and even better rescue. In this sermon Pastor David explains that the Red Sea crossing is part of a pattern anticipating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead as well as the future resurrection of believers. The same God who brought Israel out of t...

During the Exodus, the LORD rescued His people by the blood of a lamb and established annual holidays to commemorate this great deliverance. In this sermon Pastor David explains why the feast of Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread are of such great significance to Christians. They anticipated the saving work of Christ's substitutionary death and it's sanctifying effect. Exodus 12:11–15 In t...

Why did God strike Egypt with plagues? Why did the LORD harden Pharaoh's heart? How does Yahweh rescue His people through His judgment? In the sermon Pastor David answers these questions and more.

Who's the boss, applesauce? Who runs the show, buffalo? Who's in command, rubber band? In today's sermon Pastor David answers this very question as we finish up exodus 6 and head into chapter 7. We see that Moses and Aaron begin to lean who is the Captain of their souls, and they repeatedly display this by doing what the LORD commands. We will also encounter Pharaoh's refusal to have the LORD reig...

In this sermon, Pastor David introduces us to the seven "I Will" statements of Exodus chapter 6, while giving us their context starting in 4:31 and going through 6:13. When we get to chapter 6 we see the unfolding of the great and precious promises of God there within. The promises of deliverance and redemption, adoption, and inheritance found chiefly in verses 6-8. The end goal is in sight even a...

In this portion of Scripture the Lord shows Himself to be merciful, gracious and slow to anger as Moses resists the Lord's command. Moses questions the Lord, he makes excuses, he refuses and then he compromises. In this sermon Pastor David explains how we need to learn from Moses's mistakes. Exodus 3:16–22 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fath...

As Moses investigates a burning bush he encounters God Himself. In their conversation the Lord reveals His covenant name, "I Am who I Am." In this sermon, Pastor David examines this profound name, what reveals about God and why it matters to our lives today.

Exodus chapter two is the second time God has saved through an arc. Both events (the ship of the flood and this basket made to carry infant Moses) were only temporary and both were only archetypes that point us toward the final and lasting Salvation found in God's Son Jesus Christ.

Exodus 1 is a bleak chapter of oppression and struggle. It almost reminds me of the strain put on a car battery. Power is demanded from it for the spark that keeps the engine turning and all the lights plus accessories in the vehicle. Yet, no matter the strain put on it, the alternator supplies above and beyond what it needed to run the equipment and even recharges the battery. That is sort of how...

The book of Exodus tells the exciting true story of how the LORD saved His people from slavery in Egypt, then gave them His law and dwelt with them in the tabernacle. In this overview sermon of the entire book of Exodus Pastor David examines the major themes of the book as as well as the basic plot of the narrative. Exodus 6:6–7 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bri...

We have so many reasons to thank the Lord, yet we get focused on other things and forget about all the blessings we have received from Him. In the sermon Pastor David encourages us to always remember the Gospel and never forget to thank the Lord for it. Psalm 103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,...

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high;...

Psalm 51 is a Prayer of Confession that's actually genuine. With all the celebrities, and even celebrity Christians falling into public sin, only to be followed by half-hearted contrition, or none at all, it's necessary to come back to this psalm and experience what godly sorrow looks like. Whereas so many leaders of country's and cults have hideous sin in their lives, David stands out as one of f...

The Bible commands us to praise the Lord, but it also gives us reasons why we should praise the Lord. In this sermon Pastor David examines how this psalm shouts that our God is good, our God is great and our God is gracious. It delights in His sovereign power over all creation and redemption. Psalm 135 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD, 2 who stand i...

None of us likes to be told what to do. We want to be our own boss, to call the shots, but the Bible warns us that there is a King over all the universe and it's not you or me. In this sermon Pastor David explains that rebellion against the Almighty means certain destruction, so we must bow the knee to Christ the King. There is no refuge from Him, there's only refuge in Him. Psalm 2 Why do the nat...

This Sunday Pastor David reminds us that the Great Commission isn't optional, but a command from the Lord. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And beh...
