The parable of the prodigal son has been told many times ever since Jesus shared it with the disciples. Does this mean that it is a one and done, meaning there is nothing else we can learn from this parable of a son walking away from his father and family and that is it? Or can we reevaluate this story and reflect on our own lives to see what God is telling us: to shift your soul and mind from thi...

It may seem like the Old Testament can't be related to in these modern times because it takes place thousands of years ago.

In the book of exodus, the hebrews struggled with submitting themselves to other false gods and idols rather than putting their faith in God. But even today we can make false idols when anything takes our attention from God whether that is hurry, social issues, and even good concepts like love more than finding love in God. What are idols that wind up in your life and things you need to destroy in...

In the Old Testament, statred in the Exodus from Egypt to settling in the new homeland, the Hebrews worship God in the tabernacle. This is the hallowed place where God comes down from heaven to meet with them. In the New Testament, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross began a new process of the Tabernacle, where the Holy Spirit comes down not to a place but into those who repent and accept Jesus' sacrifi...

Many skeptics believe that the laws and teachings in the bible, especially the ten commandments in exodus, are just God telling us what to do. But if you really look at what they all teach and show, they point back to the covenant God desires for us: to uphold this beautiful marriage of Christ and the church, to love more than ourselves and our earthly desires. What way(s) is Jesus inviting you to...

Join Pastor David as he continues into Exodus 16: The Wilderness.

We all have a journey to travel. The struggles might feel like they go on forever, but we are reminded in the gospel that the sun rises in the morning. We can see the same journey the Hebrews went on is the same journey we all go through but in Christ - the day comes with hard news, the night comes with sin and suffering that feels like the longest part, but then morning arrives that brings new li...

God desires perfection, without sin, and in order to provide that, a perfect sacrifice is requred. For the Hebrews still in Egypt, it was a lamb free of imperfections, to be sacrificed delicately to God. For us and everyone else now, it is the perfect lamb of God, Jesus Christ. What renewal and removal of the imperfections of sin needs to happen in your life and your heart? Are you ready to receiv...

As we continue this series on the book of Exodus, we come across the ten plagues God sent down upon the egyptians. Some say that this was cruel and too far, but we can see from who He is that this was a physical application of His desire to soften the hearts of all egyptians, especially Pharoahs. The way God softens our hearts today is the hard conversations and prayes about repentance, vulnerabil...
