In today’s teaching, Pastor Nick walks us through Exodus 30–31 in a message titled “Rest In His Work.”

These chapters show us how God prepared Israel to live in His presence through prayer, cleansing, sacrifice, anointing, Spirit-filled work, and Sabbath rest. From the altar of incense to the bronze basin, from the ransom money to the Sabbath command, every detail of the tabernacle points to Jesus — our High Priest and our ultimate rest.

If you feel tired, burned out, or spiritually stretched thin, this message is a reminder that you were never meant to rest in your work for God… but in God’s work for you. Jesus has already gone before you, already carried your name into the presence of the Father, and already finished the work.

📖 Passage: Exodus 30–31

🎙️ Series: The Story of Our Lives (Exodus)

Listen in as we explore:

• The altar of incense & the fragrance of prayer

• The ransom money & the cost of redemption

• The bronze basin & the cleansing of the Word

• The anointing oil & the work of the Holy Spirit

• Bezalel & Oholiab: Spirit-filled craftsmanship

• The Sabbath command & the rest Jesus provides

• How every detail points forward to the gospel

In this message from Exodus 28–29, Pastor Sam walks us through the priestly garments and the consecration of the priests—a section many people skim past—showing how every detail ultimately points to Jesus as our perfect High Priest. From the ephod, breastpiece, bells, and pomegranates, to the daily sacrifices at the altar, we see the holiness of God, the seriousness of sin, and our desperate need for a Savior.

You’ll see how:

• The high priest carried the names of Israel on his shoulders and over his heart, foreshadowing Jesus carrying the weight of our sin to the cross.
• The veil and the priestly garments both echo God’s holiness—and how the torn curtain and the torn robes of Caiaphas mark the end of the old priesthood and the beginning of Jesus’ eternal one.
• The blood, washing, and ordination of Aaron and his sons were all temporary shadows that Jesus fulfilled once and for all as the perfect sacrifice and perfect High Priest (Hebrews 7).
• In Christ, we are now called a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2), invited to draw near, confess our sins, and walk in the light (1 John 1).

If you’ve ever wondered what all those Old Testament details have to do with your life today, this teaching will help you see the beauty of the gospel woven into Exodus and remind you how incredible it is that God now dwells in us by His Spirit.

A Dwelling Place for God | Exodus 25–27 | The Story of Our Lives

What does it mean that God desires to dwell with His people—and that now we are His tabernacle?

In this message, “A Dwelling Place for God,” Pastor Nick continues our Exodus series, The Story of Our Lives, looking at Exodus 25–27 and the tabernacle. We see how God invites His people not just to receive His presence, but to participate in His work: bringing their contributions, their worship, and their “oil” so that His light can shine in a dark world.

📖 In this episode, we talk about:

• How the tabernacle reveals God’s heart to dwell with His people
• The ark of the covenant and the mercy seat as a picture of Jesus, our propitiation
• Why God invites us to be contributors, not consumers, in His church
• The golden lampstand and the call to “bring your oil” — devotion, generosity, obedience
• How the church today is the tabernacle of God’s presence and light in the world
• The warning from Revelation about churches whose lampstand can be removed

If you’ve felt distant from God, stuck in consumer-mode, or like your spiritual flame is growing dim, this message is a call to return to your first love, bring your oil, and keep the flame burning bright.

In today’s message, “Covenant,” Pastor Nick walks us through Exodus 24 — where God establishes His covenant with Israel, sealing His promises in blood and calling His people into a relationship built on trust, obedience, and grace. This passage reminds us that God isn’t looking for empty religion or surface-level commitment; He desires covenant relationship — one rooted in faithfulness and fulfilled ultimately through Jesus.

If you’ve ever wondered what a covenant truly means, how it shapes our relationship with God, and why it still matters today, this message will give you a fresh and powerful perspective on God’s promises and our response.

In this message, Pastor Nick walks through Exodus 22–23 to show how holiness plays out in everyday life: making wrongs right (restitution), speaking truth and guarding against gossip, caring for the vulnerable (sojourners, widows, the fatherless, the poor), living with integrity and justice, honoring God with first-fruits, practicing Sabbath rest, and trusting His “little by little” timing. We also look at Zacchaeus (Luke 19) as a living picture of grace that overflows into restitution and changed behavior. Holiness isn’t how we get saved—it’s our grateful response because we are saved in Jesus.

Key takeaways

• Holiness is everyday: the same faith on Sunday should shape work, words, relationships, money, and rest all week.
• If you wrong someone, make it right (Ex 22:1–15).
• God’s people protect and provide for the vulnerable (Ex 22:21–27; Jas 1:27).
• Don’t spread false reports or follow the crowd into compromise (Ex 23:1–9).
• Build your calendar around worship and rest (Ex 23:10–19).
• God leads and fights for His people—often “little by little” (Ex 23:20–33).
• Jesus is our righteousness; we pursue holiness from grace, not for it.

What happens when God’s presence gets too real? In Exodus 20:18–21:32, Israel trembles at the mountain—lightning, thunder, and smoke fill the air. But Moses draws near.

In this message, Pastor Nick Wyss of Fervent Church unpacks what holy fear really means and why it’s not meant to drive us away from God but draw us closer to Him. Discover how a proper fear of the Lord leads to authentic worship, just relationships, and personal responsibility in everyday life.

From the “altar of earth” to God’s call for justice and mercy, this passage reminds us that His holiness still shapes how we live today. 

Listen and Learn:

• The difference between panic-fear and reverent-fear
• Why God cares about both worship and justice
• How the cross fulfills the fear, fire, and justice of Sinai

In today’s message from Exodus 20:1–17, Pastor Nick walks through the Ten Commandments — God’s standard for how we relate to Him and to others. These aren’t just ancient rules; they reveal God’s character, expose our sin, and point us to our need for a Savior. From worshipping no other gods to honoring our parents and guarding our hearts against coveting, each commandment draws us closer to understanding God’s holiness and our dependence on His grace.

Listen as we study verse by verse through one of the most foundational passages in the Old Testament — and be reminded that while the law reveals our guilt, Jesus fulfills it perfectly on our behalf.

Exodus 19 sits between rescue and rules—between the Red Sea and the Ten Commandments. Before God tells Israel what to do, He tells them who they are: His treasured possession, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. In this message, Pastor Nick walks through the scene at Mount Sinai—thunder, trumpet, and fire—and shows how God’s boundaries are loving protection, not punishment. We also trace the line to Hebrews 12, where Jesus is the better Mediator who brings us from trembling at Sinai to joy at Zion.

If you’re asking what holiness looks like in real life, why identity comes before activity, or how Exodus points to Jesus, this teaching will help you live set apart with purpose.

Exodus 18 shows Moses stuck in an all-day line of disputes until Jethro says the hard truth: “What you are doing is not good… the thing is too heavy for you.” This message unpacks God’s wisdom for shared leadership and burden-bearing: teach God’s ways, appoint qualified leaders, and stop trying to do it all yourself.

Key points

• We weren’t made to do life or ministry solo; isolation fuels exhaustion and attack (Ex. 18:13–18; Mark 6:7; Luke 10:1).
• A leader’s first job is to teach God’s Word so many problems resolve upstream (Ex. 18:19–20).
• Delegate to godly people—those who fear God, are trustworthy, and hate a bribe; character > charisma (Ex. 18:21–22; 1 Tim. 3).
• Healthy delegation multiplies care, grows new leaders, and sustains the mission (Ex. 18:22–26).
• Communion reminder: Jesus carried our heaviest burden—sin—and invites the weary to find rest in Him (Matt. 11:28–30).

Scripture: Exodus 18:13–27; 1 Timothy 3; Mark 6:7; Luke 10:1; Matthew 11:28–30.

In Acts 9, God interrupts Saul on the road to Damascus—and everything changes. Sam walks through Saul’s past (fresh off Stephen’s martyrdom), the sudden encounter with Jesus, and Ananias’ risky obedience that turns an enemy into a brother. This message challenges us to do a “heart check” in a polarized world: to pray for those who oppose us, stand firm in truth, and still lead with grace.

Key Scriptures: Acts 9:1–31; Acts 7:54–60; Matthew 5:43–48; 2 Timothy 2:22–26; Colossians 4:5–6; Genesis 50:20; Ephesians 2:8.

Big Ideas:

• Jesus can reach the “unreachable”—transformation can happen suddenly.
• Obedience often feels costly (Ananias), but God uses it to change stories.
• Stand on God’s Word without swerving, and engage opponents with gentleness.
• Pray for people you’re tempted to “unfollow”—God turns tragedy into testimony.

Takeaways / Application:

• Write down one person you disagree with and commit to pray for them this week.
• Ask, “Where is God asking me to obey even when it doesn’t make sense?”
• Remember: salvation is by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8)—not performance.
