When you read or hear God’s promises, do you believe them? In this message, we see the Israelites sending spies into the land of Canaan. The report of the spies remains focused on their unbelief and a lack of faith in the Lord. He has promised to give them the land, but they see only what stands in their way. But there is strength to be found in the promises of the Lord.

Moses has led the people of God to Mt. Sinai, where God will reveal himself to Moses, give him the 10 commandments, and establish a covenant with the people of Israel. It’s a pivotal moment in Moses’ life, the nation of Israel, and in the history of salvation, and it points us once again to the Cross.

If you’ve ever been a part of an organization, team, or company where everything has to flow through one person, then you know how inefficient and unhealthy that can be. In this message, we look at Moses’ leadership and the people of God in Exodus 18, and we learn the timeless principle that in God’s Kingdom, it’s not about what one single person does, but what God does through every single person.

The crossing of the Red Sea. It’s one of the most memorable moments in the Bible, when God rescues his people from near death and makes a way to freedom. But within this story are sub-stories that are instructive for the reader: Moses’ example of faith, the unbelief of the Israelites, and the stubborn disobedience of a king who pitted himself against the Almighty God.

A purpose of the Christian life is to know God and make Him known.

When God spoke to Moses out of a burning bush, he told him he had chosen Moses to deliver the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt. Moses, less than excited, basically told God he had the wrong guy. In this message, we see that our strength and confidence come not from greater self-esteem, but from the power and presence of God in our lives.

The prophet Moses is a central figure of 3 major world religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Moreover, he’s arguably the most important figure in the Old Testament of the Bible. In this message, we see the beginning of his story—and the beginning of God’s plan to move his people out of bondage and into freedom.

Where do you find you security, hope, and joy in this life? According to the Apostle Peter, we can find those things in the present by knowing what’s coming in the future: our glorious inheritance, our salvation, kept in Heaven for us by God himself.

Have you ever experienced joy in the midst of sorrowful circumstances? In this message, we finish our study of the book of Habakkuk. We see a changed man who is living by faith and not by sight. Because of this, he’s able to rejoice in God even in the midst of the storm.
