When you spend time with God, you act differently, you feel different, and people can notice the change. But God's presence has a purpose!

Have you been fighting a major battle? You've been trying to win on your own and failing miserably. Why? There are some battles you just can't win by yourself. We need each other.

Have you ever felt lost, not on the road, but in life? The times, the seasons in your life when nothing seems to make sense, when things aren't coming together and you can't seem to find direction. God knew we would have times in our lives when we feel lost, lonely, confused, and afraid - full of questions and searching for answers.

This episode examines how Moses reacted when his people dissappointed him and turned away from God.

Who is your enemy, or what is your enemy? It could be depression, sickness, or fear. When things are going wrong, when we are under attack, we have an alarming tendency to become enemy-focused. We focus on our enemies instead of on God. But God has a plan for our enemies!

When the circumstances in your life are overwhelming, when it looks like there is no way out, keep going! God has something to say to you!

God is a God of mercy and love. But, looking at the Word of God, it is clear there is also a time when God judges wickedness. What are some things we can learn from Moses and the plagues that struck Egypt?

We want God's plan as long as it is easy, and makes sense. We want it to be logical, detailed, and complete with every step clearly laid out in advance. But what happens when we don't know all the details? Like Moses, will we find it hard to obey God at first?

Sometimes we all have "wilderness" times: when we feel horribly alone and forgotten. We might wonder if God even knows where we are...

We are obsessed with speed. We want what we want - and we want it now! Are we that way with God, too? Are we even impatient with our Heavenly Father who knows what is best for us? In this message, Pastor Patrick Lander continues the story of Moses and his impatience with God's plan.
