Can a bitter life be transformed into a sweet one? Discover how God's guidance can lead us to a place of fruitfulness and peace in our latest episode discussing the story of Moses and the Israelites. As we reason through their challenges, we reveal how God provided for them during their journey to the Promised Land - from making bitter water sweet to supplying manna and meat for sustenance.

We unravel the concept of anthropomorphism in the Bible, discussing God's attributes and the unique nature of Jesus Christ. We also discuss the heretical views of the early Church that incorrectly understood the divine and human natures of Jesus.

Lastly, we delve into the crucial topic of Biblical faith, examining the role of trust and how it is so much more than just a knowledge of facts. Learn how faith must be challenged to grow and how God will sometimes lead us into situations where our faith is tested. Reflecting on the Israelites' response to challenges with grumbling rather than faith, we emphasize the importance of trusting in God's promises and the sweetness that can come from bitter circumstances. Join us for this thought-provoking and engaging episode!

• Does God have a body?
• Who led the Israelites to the bitter water?
• Does God sometimes lead us into unusual circumstances?
• Can our faith grow if it is never challenged?
• Can God take our bitter circumstances and make them sweet?

What if you could witness one of the most miraculous events in the Bible? Today, we bring you on a journey through the powerful moment when Israel crosses the Red Sea, experiencing God's divine intervention and deliverance. As we explore this incredible event, we'll discuss how God used a strong east wind to part the waters, creating walls of water on either side of the Israelites, and how the Angel of the LORD played a crucial role in protecting them during this miraculous moment.

In this episode, we also tackle the attempts of skeptics and even some Christians to explain away the Red Sea crossing with natural causes, and why it's essential to give credit to God for His power and glory. We'll dive into the identity of the Angel of God, who is the pre-incarnate Christ, and how Theophanies occur throughout the Bible as God's physical form appearing to humans.

Finally, we'll reflect on the Song of Moses, an ancient hymn commemorating the Israelites' Red Sea crossing. We'll discuss how the song is written in Hebrew poetry and serves not only as a reminder of God's power and intervention but also as a call for us to recognize and celebrate His work in our lives. So, join us as we relive this astonishing event and uncover the deeper meaning behind this pivotal moment in Biblical history.

Question 1: What Makes Me Worth Saving?

This is a common question for people that, maybe, have lived a life of hurt or hurting others. We will discuss several topics surrounding this question such as:

- Do we have an accurate view of sin and holiness?
- God is holy and pure ane we are not. 
- However God is very loving and wants to save us. 

Question 2: Will I Be Able to See My Family or Pets in Heaven?

Only way to get to heaven is to have faith in Jesus Christ. The only people that get to heaven are repentent sinners. The most important thing we can do to ensure we see our family is to tell them about Jesus Christ, so that they may believe and have eternal life.

As Israel leaves Egypt, we see God purposely leading them on a longer route. When Pharaoh sees Israel wandering aimlessly and trapped, he makes plans to pursue Israel and annihilate them.  As we read further, we understand God's strategy in dealing with Pharaoh, and all is not what it seems to be. 

•  What does God's leading of Israel tell us?
•  Was the Red Sea really a swamp or marshy area?
• Why did Moses take the bones of Joseph?
• What is the theme of God operating in a cloud?
• Does God lead us aimlessly throughout our lives?

Specific instructions are given regarding who and what the Israelites are to set aside for God. We discuss the different areas of what God wants set aside for Him and why. We discuss the many parallels between this event in Egypt and the events that take place in the New Testament.  In this session we discover how the two eras are tied together. 

- Is the first Passover Lamb a foreshadow of something to come?
- Why was the donkey's first born not set aside for God?
- Why does God repeatedly instruct Israel to get the leaven out?
- Are these events in Exodus tied to events in the New Testament?

The actual pass over event takes place and all the firstborn in Egypt even down to the prisoners in the dungeons are struck by God and die. There was no home in Egypt where someone was not dead. However, where the Israelites lived, there were no deaths in the houses which had put the blood of the sacrificial lamb over their doors. 

Pharaoh calls for Moses and Aaron in the early hours of the day while it was still night and told them to get the Israelites out and away from Egypt. Pharaoh does not try to make any compromises this time, but tells Moses to take everybody, all livestock, and all possessions and leave. Egypt is plundered through the Israelites asking the Egyptians for gold and silver as God had instructed.  

• How was an Israelite's faith that their house would be passed over recognized?
• How was a person's saving faith recognized in this Passover event?
• Is it important to pass down our faith to our children? 
• Did Pharaoh have true repentance?
• Is God fair?
