Moses is the most important person, in one of the most significant stories in the Bible. God chose him to be his representative when he delivered his people Egyptian slavery. How did Moses become the person that God chose? In order to understand why God chose him, we have to look at the events that made him who he was.

The exodus story is well known within our culture. There have been movies made depicting the dramatic and miraculous story. The name itself has a life of its own, becoming a metaphor for deliverance and freedom. As well as we may know the story, we cannot truly understand it if we do not understand how the story starts. Join us as we look at Exodus chapter one and ask ourselves, "Who are these people that God is going to deliver?".

There were several events that happened in the days after Jesus was resurrected. What was Jesus doing? Why did he do the things he did? What was he trying to teach his followers? Join us as we examine these questions and more.

Join us as we celebrate the unbelievable resurrection of Jesus.

Today we celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the kickoff to his last week in Jerusalem before the Crucifixion. The event is significant but also complicated. Who was there? Why were they there? These are a few of the questions we address in our exploration of Palm Sunday.

As we come to the close of the Joseph story, we can marvel over all that has happened with his life. But in the end, it may not even Be Joseph's story.

As we near the conclusion of Joseph's story, we are reminded of the tension between the kingdom that God wanted to create and the kingdom of the world. The two come head to head in the lives of Joseph and his family. Which kingdom will win out?

This week, everything comes full circle in the life of Joseph. He revealed his identity to his brothers, and sent for his father to return. More importantly Joseph show that he understands what God was doing in his life. It can be tough to figure out the relationship between our will and God's will, but the Joseph story helps.

We had a difficult week in our Santa Rosa Schools. Violence broke out on the Montgomery High School Campus and a student lost his life. Other schools faced threats of violence and weapons on campus. In this sermon I talk about my feelings, as a parent of a student at a school where something so awful happened. More importantly I give some thoughts on how I think a follower of Jesus should respond to such moments of crisis.

Sometimes, we are so familiar with a biblical story that we overlook what is really going on within the story. Joseph has had a difficult road to the top, and when his brothers showed up in need, he struggled with how to handle the situation. Even Biblical heroes struggles with their emotions and thoughts. But perhaps in these moments, we can learn something about ourselves and God.
