Pastors Glenn Lawson and Roy Helu, Jr. team up to cover an important topic in current events: the 2024 elections. What does the Bible say about government? And what are some practical Biblical and spiritual considerations that affect how Christians should approach politics and voting?

Pastor Roy Helu, Jr. preaches through chapter 5 of Exodus, where Pharaoh, king of Egypt, hardens his heart and oppresses the Hebrew people. Roy uses this example to demonstrate the characteristics and dangers of a hard heart, and encourages us to examine and soften our own hearts before God.

Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches through Exodus chapters 3 and 4, where God assigns Moses a task but Moses keeps making excuses on why he isn't right for the job. What is God calling you to do in this season of life? Are you allowing fear and insecurity to hold you back, rather than relying on God to strengthen you for His calling for your life?

What does God's timing look like in your life? Pastor Roy Helu, Jr. brings us to the example of Moses in Exodus 2, to show us that God's timing is perfect, and to illustrate the dangers of getting ahead of God's timing for your life.

Pastor Glenn Lawson kicks off our study of the book of Exodus with a brief review of how the Hebrews came to be enslaved in Egypt, a description of the injustices they suffered, and a foreshadowing of the deliverance God will provide.

Pastor Roy Helu, Jr. takes us through chapters 22 and 23 of Luke, where Jesus is brutally beaten and flogged prior to His crucifixion. But our encouragement is this: to consider Him who did that for us. He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.

Pastor Glenn Lawson describes the empathy Jesus has for us when we are rejected or fear rejection, because Jesus Himself faced ultimate rejection as He is betrayed by Judas, Peter, and others in chapter 22 of Luke.

What should we do when our desires don't line up with God's will? Pastor Roy Helu, Jr. gives us the perfect example from chapter 22 of Luke, where Jesus himself faces a disconnect between his desires and the will of God the Father.

Pastor Glenn Lawson leads us through Luke chapter 21, where Jesus tells His disciples what the world will look like as we approach the time of His return. What do you think of when you hear Jesus' prophetic descriptions of the end times?

What do we know about heaven? Pastor Roy Helu, Jr. answers this as we continue our series on the Gospel of Luke.
