180 Life Church

Do you feel stuck or hopeless? The Apostle Peter did when he went fishing all night and didn't catch one single fish, that is until Jesus joined him on the boat and took him to the deep end. Where is Jesus asking you to push out a little further with Him? To trust Him more? Our frustrations don't have to get the best of us. We can see it as an opportunity to follow Jesus to the deep end and witness him move in our lives, in that situation, and in that boat.

So many of us live constantly tired and exhausted and desperately in need of rest. In this message we discuss how the Sabbath helps us enter the rest of Jesus that our souls long for.

We all go through different seasons in life, but how can we go through them an intentional way that helps us do and become all that God wants. Learn to seize seasons in this message from Pastor Bill

Have you ever wondered how best to share your faith journey with other people? Have you ever felt overwhelmed with all you have to do in life? If you answer “yes” to either of these questions, then this message is for you. As we look at Exodus Chapter 18, we see Moses share his story with his father-in-law Jethro, leading him to faith in God. Then, Jethro speaks into Moses’ life, encouraging him to restructure the way that he does things by making some leadership decisions. We will see that by changing things up, we can fulfil our God-given purpose and can bless those around us along the way.

In this message we look at Exodus Chapter 17 and see two confrontations. The first is internal. The Israelites turn on their leader Moses when they find themselves without water. The second is external. An army attacks Moses and the Israelites. In both cases, Moses does what he knows is best; he turns to God. As we study the passage, we discover some valuable life lessons – how to live in harmony with other people and how to grow in our faith by being in community with other believers – and it all starts by us lifting our hands to God.

Exodus 16

As we study Chapter 15 of the Book of Exodus, we see that having been rescued by the parting of the Red Sea from the advancing Egyptian army, Moses and the Israelites worship God in song; the first song found in the Bible. But then as they continue their journey in the wilderness and find themselves without water. They start complaining and blame Moses and God. Overall, the trust of the Israelites in God’s providence for them is dependent on their circumstances and how they feel. We can end up being the same, our mood determining our faith. This passage teaches us about the heart of worship and also serves as a warning to us not to allow our mood to determine our faith in God’s provision in our lives.

Through Moses, God leads the Israelites to a place where they are trapped – they have mountainous terrain to the right and the left, the sea behind them, and the Egyptian army advancing towards them. What are they to do? In this message, we look at Exodus Chapter 13 and see the miraculous parting of the Red Sea – allowing the Israelites to escape from Pharoah and his army which then themselves get destroyed by the water. When the situation seemed impossible, God came through for the Israelites. He will do the same for us. In the heat of the trouble, when we see no way out, we need to remember that God is in control, and, however hard it might seem, we simply have to trust Him.
