Since Jesus' resurrection, we've been given the Holy Spirit to share the gospel. Don’t give up when people don’t listen, or when life is hard. Suffering brings us closer to Jesus, who will raise you up, and it’s God’s work to save, ours to share.
God redeems, gathers, and sends us for His glory. Through Jesus, we’re freed from guilt and share His righteousness. As a community, we encourage, confess, and grow in faith, spreading the good news of the Gospel and living for Him.
From generation to generation God wants us to remember that by His strong hand we are a redeemed people rescued from slavery to sin and death. Only through His Grace, and the substitutionary blood of Jesus, God’s perfect lamb, are we set free.
Blessings and trials in our lives serve to remind us of our dependence on God. Our role is to stay focused on and inspired by the example of Jesus, who made the ultimate sacrifice to unite us with God.
The 10th plague brought the Destroyer, God’s wrath for sin to the first born of that house. Only those who obeyed His Word and placed the blood of the lamb on their door were spared from death. Then and today, all who call upon the LORD, and trust in the blood of Jesus Christ to cover our sins and protect us will be saved. Be ready!
In Exodus 12:14-20, the Feast of Unleavened Bread shows the importance of removing the old leaven, just as God delivered Israel from Egypt. Today, it's a memorial of His saving grace, urging us to examine our hearts, mourn our sin, and support each other in repentance.
Even as God's last plague strikes, His actions in freeing the Israelites are meant to display His character and justice. These events happen so we’ll know Him, draw near to Him and proclaim His name.
In the last phase of God's plagues, He shows His power and purpose, while Pharaoh's hard heart resists. Instead of quick destruction, God wanted to reveal Himself so we would know and proclaim Him. Trust that God is revealing Himself in your life.
In Exodus, God strikes Egypt with plagues, and we explore how an encounter with God can change us forever. Embrace who God is and let your heart grow in love towards Him. Hard times can harden hearts but also show our need for God.
Pharaoh’s hard heart looked to the waters of the Nile for life. God showed His power by turning it to blood and death. When we, like Pharaoh, seek life elsewhere, we harden our hearts towards God. Peace and life come from God alone. Jesus is our living water and only hope and security.
