What is that on the ground? As we dive into a beautiful instance of God's provision for his people, we can see how God uses both the practice of gathering manna that only He can provide, and the practicing of the Sabbath, in order to form his people to be holier and ready to enter the rest of the Promised Land.

What is at the core of our faith and our families, both the biological and spiritual family? As Pastor Mike goes through the essential text of Dueteronomy 16, we see how important it is to trust in God through teaching children (which reminds us as well!) to remember who the LORD is, and how we ought to live faithful lives.

How do the people respond to God's testing when they first enter the wilderness? As we see major themes start to unfold of God's testing (or training), the people's grumbling response, and the continued faithfulness of God, we should be encouraged and exhorted to not doubt the goodness of God and see how we ought to live our lives.

How do Moses and the rescued Hebrew people respond to God's great work for them? Through songs of praise and victory in the triumph of the Lord over evil, which helps us to strengthen our hope in the Lord, who has rescued us from slavery to sin and death and will one day enact final justice on the world.

As we go from one year to another, we are often drawn to bettering ourselves through resolutions. However, if we look in God's Word, we find the true answer to the lasting change is not found in trying to produce good fruit, but it is found in the words of our savior, that we abide in Christ.

Join us as we wrap up Advent series, to hear about Jesus as the Prince of Peace. Even though the world around us is full of brokenness and hurt, the coming of Jesus to earth and his sacrifice for his people shines a light in the darkness, that will one day dispel all sorrow and injustice.

What does it mean for Jesus to be called Everlasting Father? Be encouraged this week as we see how much Jesus cares for and watches over us like a perfect father, and that He has done this, is doing it right now, and will continue to do so, for all eternity.

The LORD is a Mighty God, one who saves his people from their oppression, and ultimately and finally, from our sins. Let us take comfort in the fact the He does indeed save us, and nothing and no one can stand against him.

The King that Israel was waiting for was prophesied of many times, and in this passage we see one who will come and be an advisor with unfathomable wisdom and discernment, who will guide his nation out of darkness and into the light.
Join with us in this Advent season as we look into Isaiah 9:6 and all the history that comes with it so that we can more fully anticipate the miraculous birth of Jesus.

As is our annual tradition, we open up the Word to hear from God on the topic of generosity in our lives as believers. Take heart, for though all of us have no hope by ourselves to be saved, Jesus does that work for us, also calling us in this passage to follow in his footsteps of life-giving generosity.
