What if every detail of the Tabernacle was pointing to Jesus? This week, we're joined by Pastor Rohan Thompson from Deeper Church, one of our church plants, as we continue our Exodus series through chapters 25–31. From the entrance and the altar to the veil and the mercy seat, God was revealing something greater than a place of worship. He was revealing the way sinful humanity could be brough...

What does it take for sinful people to enter the presence of a holy God? In Exodus 24, Moses and the elders of Israel experience something extraordinary: they behold God and share a meal in His presence. But before the table comes a covenant, a sacrifice, and the shedding of blood. This week, Caeden, our YTH Director, walks us through how this remarkable moment points forward to Jesus, the greater...

Freedom isn't simply the absence of rules. It's learning to live the way God designed us to. This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 20, where God gives Israel the Ten Commandments. But these commands weren't given to earn their freedom—they were given to teach a rescued people how to live. From our worship and relationships to the hidden desires of our he...

Have we become so familiar with God that we've forgotten His holiness? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 19, where Israel encounters the overwhelming holiness of God at Mount Sinai. Having been rescued from slavery, God's people are now called to something greater: a life set apart for Him. Through this powerful encounter, we're reminded that grace d...

The mission of God was never meant to be carried by a few. This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 17–18, where Israel faces its first battle in the wilderness and Moses discovers the limits of his own strength. Through the faithfulness of Joshua, Aaron, Hur, and Jethro, we see a powerful picture of God's design for His people: we were never meant to fight alone, le...

We’re all hungry for something. The question is: what are we asking to satisfy us? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 16–17, where God provides bread from heaven and water from a rock. But these miracles were pointing to something greater. The manna could fill a stomach, but Jesus is the Bread of Life who satisfies the soul. The rock could provide water, but Jesus o...

What if the wilderness isn’t just something you’re going through, but something God is growing you through? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 15:22–27. Just three days after watching God part the Red Sea, Israel finds themselves in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Their worship quickly turns to grumbling, and the God they trusted at the Red Sea suddenly feels...

What actually is worship? For many of us, worship immediately brings to mind music, raised hands, a worship band, or a Sunday gathering. None of those things are wrong, but if that's the extent of our definition, our definition of worship is far too small. Scripture shows us that we were created to worship, and the question isn't if we'll worship, but what we'll worship.  Roman...

What if the greatest spiritual danger isn’t being deceived by someone else, but being deceived about ourselves? In Exodus 12, judgment is coming, but God graciously provides a way of escape. A spotless lamb is sacrificed, its blood is applied to the doorposts, and the people who trust God’s provision are spared. The innocent dies so the guilty can live. In this message, Pastor Rohan traces the pic...

What if you've been set free, but you're still living like a slave? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 13–14 and one of the most iconic moments in Scripture: Israel's journey through the Red Sea. God had delivered His people from Egypt, but when Pharaoh came chasing after them, they immediately wanted to go back. They were physically free, but their t...

How long can we continue resisting God before it's too late? In Exodus 11, Pharaoh has seen the power of God again and again. He has witnessed the plagues, heard God's Word, and even acknowledged his own sin, yet his heart remains hardened. Now, after incredible patience, God announces that one final judgment is coming. In this message, Pastor Gregg walks through the difficult reality of...

What if the story of Exodus is really your story? This week, Pastor Gregg kicks off our brand-new Exodus series by opening the first chapter of one of the Bible's greatest redemption stories. In this message, we discover that Exodus is more than the story of Moses, Pharaoh, or the Red Sea—it's the story of God's unwavering faithfulness, the enemy's relentless opposition, and th...

This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 2–4, where we meet the God who hears the cries of His people, sees their suffering, knows their pain, and comes down to rescue them. As God prepares Moses in the wilderness and calls him from the burning bush, we discover that God is often working long before we can see it—and that our weakness doesn’t disqualify us from being used...

What do you do when you obey God—and everything gets harder? This week, we continue our Exodus series through Exodus 4–6, where Moses finally steps into the calling God has given him. But instead of Pharaoh letting Israel go, the resistance only grows. The workload increases, the people turn against Moses, and Moses is left asking God, “Why did you ever send me?” In this message, we discover that...

What happens when the things we trust are exposed as powerless? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Exodus series through Exodus 7–11, where God confronts Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt through the plagues. What looks like a battle between Moses and Pharaoh is actually revealing something much bigger: every power that sets itself against God will eventually bow before Him. But the gods of Egypt a...

What if your greatest witness isn't having all the right answers—but revealing the heart of Jesus? This week, Pastor Gregg concludes our Unhurried series by exploring what it truly means to be a witness for Christ. Through the story of Jesus and the sinful woman in Luke 7, we discover that people aren't simply looking for better arguments—they're looking for a Savior whose love tran...

What if generosity isn't about what God wants from you—but what He wants for you? This week, Pastor Gregg concludes our Unhurried series by exploring how the generosity of God transforms the hearts of His people. Through 2 Corinthians 8–9, we discover that generosity isn't rooted in guilt but in grace, isn't simply about money but about worship, and isn't an obligation but an o...

What if greatness isn't found in being served—but in serving others? This week, Pastor Gregg concludes our Unhurried series by looking at one of the most powerful moments in Jesus' ministry: washing His disciples' feet. Through John 13, we discover how Jesus completely redefines greatness, why secure people are free to serve, and how love is revealed through humble action. In this m...

What if the growth you're praying for is found in the people God has placed around you? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the biblical practice of community through Acts 2. In this message, we discover why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey, how authentic community shapes our faith, and why healthy disciples grow best alongside other believe...

Where do you run when life becomes difficult? Many people run to social media, relationships, success, entertainment, money, or simply distraction, but the writer of Psalm 119 runs somewhere else. This week, Pastor Rohan Thompson from Deeper Church helps us explore how engaging with God's Word can transform our minds, hearts, and actions. 

What if the reason you're struggling to hear God isn't that He isn't speaking, but because there's too much noise? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the practice of solitude and why Jesus repeatedly withdrew to lonely places before stepping into ministry. In this message, we discover how solitude creates space for intimacy with God, clarity for...

What if the thing controlling your life is the very thing God wants to use to draw you closer to Him? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the spiritual practice of fasting and why it has been a vital rhythm for followers of Jesus throughout history. Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, we discover how fasting trains us to say no to our desires, stren...

What if the power you're looking for isn't found in trying harder—but in praying first? This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring one of the most essential rhythms of the Christian life: prayer. Through Acts 4, we see how the early Church responded to opposition, pressure, and cultural resistance—not with fear, panic, or compromise, but with prayer. In this mess...

What if the answer to your exhaustion isn't doing less—but drawing closer to Jesus? This week, Pastor Gregg kicks off our Unhurried series by exploring the biblical rhythm of Sabbath and Jesus' invitation to find true rest. In this message, we discover why our culture's pace is leaving us spiritually dry, emotionally drained, and disconnected from God, and how Jesus offers something...

For over 2,000 years, followers of Jesus have gathered around a table to remember the Gospel, proclaim the death of Christ, and anticipate His return. But communion is more than a religious ritual or weekly tradition—it is something that forms us. In this message from The Table, we explore how communion shapes God's people through participation in the Gospel, unity with the body of Christ, an...
