In Acts 2:42-47 we hear of an irresistible Curch that is Awe-full in unity. My hope is that we can reclaim this same sense of Awe-full unity in our Church this day 

As we look at Peter's Sermon in Acts 2 we hear him proclaiming that Jesus is the NEW King doing a New Thing, and the invitation to participate is to repent and redeem. 

In Acts 2 we hear a WEIRD story of Pentecost. We hear a call to go and share the love and grace that God shares with us with this world. It is a call that says LET'S GET WEIRD  

As we close out our journey in Exodus and prepare for the season of Pentecost we may find ourselves asking WHAT NOW? As we look at Exodus 17 and Acts 1 we see that the answer is the same, the next right thing

As we hear in Exodus 5 and 6 of Moses, and the Israelite's frustration and fear. We hear in Exodus 6:1-9 God proclaiming I AM and I WILL. Believe in me and that I am greater than the gods you focus on 

In Exodus 4 God asks Moses "Whatcha Got There?" I think many of our callings can begin with God asking the same question 

In order to move into the future with the freedom to be who we are called and created to be, many of us must first confront our past. Exodus 3 shows how God calls us to SEE, GO, and CONFRONT so that we can be FREE 

As we continue the journey through Exodus we hear of Moses in a place he never thought he would be, and what God was hoping to show him there. What does it look like when we embrace our wilderness as Holy Ground 

When we allow fear to drive our lives we can feel a tension between the life we live, and the life we are created to live. It's time to push back against the fear and embrace the call of God. As we look at Exodus 1 we hear how 2 Hebrew midwives did just that, and it changed the world 

As we look at the Easter story we look at it through a line in the Semisonic song "Closing Time". The line states "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end". So what is it that you are being called to end that something new may come in your life? What are those things that need to die for you to truly experience resurrection?
