Hope City Church Edinburgh Sunday Sermons

What does it mean that God 'hardens' Pharaoh's heart? Does this mean that God is somehow responsible for Pharaoh's actions? In this video, Jon Green explores the language behind this 'hardening' and how ancient readers would have understood it.

This week, we look at Exodus 16. Recently freed from Egypt, the Israelites quickly find themselves in the Desert of Sin with no food, leading them to complain bitterly. Yet, God responds not with judgment, but with miraculous provision! He sends quail for meat in the evening and the heavenly manna every morning. This chapter beautifully demonstrates God’s faithful provision for His people and introduces the importance of daily trust and honoring the Sabbath

When did the events in the book of Exodus take place? Does it matter? What are the options to consider?

If you've wondered about these questions, here's a short video to explore the subject at a bit more length.

Exodus 15 describes Moses and the Israelites singing a song of praise to God after crossing the Red Sea and seeing Pharaoh’s army destroyed. It celebrates God’s power and deliverance, then tells how the people travelled into the wilderness, where God made bitter water sweet and promised to heal those who obey Him.

When God’s people were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea, He showed that He alone can make a way. The same God who fought for Israel has already won the greater battle for us through Jesus.

This week in Exodus, we see God’s final move to free His people. As judgment falls on Egypt, God provides a way of rescue—the first Passover.

It's not just a story of the past. It points us forward to Jesus, whose blood still saves today.

We're asking: Am I trusting in God's way of rescue—or trying to save myself?

Pharaoh's story is more than ancient history—it's a warning. When we resist God's voice, our hearts can grow hard.

This week in Exodus, we're asking: Is my heart open to God—or hardening against His voice?

This Sunday, we continue through the book of Exodus—and face Pharaoh's bold question: "Who is the Lord?"

When Moses and Aaron ask to worship God, Pharaoh responds with defiance—and suffering increases for God’s people. But in the middle of pain and pressure, God doesn’t abandon them. He reminds them—and us—of who He is: "I am the Lord."

In seasons when life gets harder instead of easier, God is still working. He sees, He hears, and He promises: "I will bring you out... and you will know that I am the Lord."

God isn’t just powerful—He’s personal. And even when circumstances say otherwise, He’s always faithful to His word.

This Sunday, we continue our journey through Exodus—and encounter God who speaks through a burning bush.

When Moses asks, "Who am I?" God doesn't offer a pep talk—He gives a promise: "I will be with you."

In the middle of fear and inadequacy, God reveals His Name and invites us ordinary people into His extraordinary mission.

Like Moses, we're not called because we're ready—we're made ready because we're called by God.

God's Promises Prevail | Exodus 2

This Sunday, we continue our journey through the book of Exodus—and witness God at work behind the scenes, even when He seems silent.

In a time of oppression and danger, God preserves life, raises up Moses, and quietly prepares the path to deliverance. His plan is unfolding—even in the shadows.

Deliverance begins long before you see it.

Be patient. Be prayerful. Be hopeful.

The darkness will not last, it will be overcome by light.
