For our third Advent Sunday, we look at Mary's visit with Elizabeth, and consider how we can have joy in the midst of real difficulty and sorrow. 

This is our second message from the 2024 Advent series. 

This is our first message from the 2024 Advent series. 

As we wrap up chapter 2, we take note of Moses' diminishment, and the fact that it is his decrease, not his strength, talents, or giftedness that makes him suitable for God to use. 

As we move through Exodus 2, and see Moses taking matters into his own hands, we mark the direction he forgot to look. 

Today's message was followed by a devotional from James Degner prior to Lord's Supper. That audio begins at 31 minutes. 

As we move into Exodus 2, we note that God still does not speak, yet clearly is still at work, and mark the imagery painted by Moses being drawn out of the water. 

Today we consider the government of Egypt, her foul practices, and how God overruled the evil of men. We take these considerations as motivation to be salt and light in our own generation. 

As we continue the history of Israel in Exodus, we take note of Joseph's end, and consider how it relates to us. 

Today we complete our introduction to Exodus by seeking to appreciate the point of these events in Joseph's life, and applying that point to our own lives. 

As we examine the narrative of Joseph's brothers' trip to Egypt, we consider the picture of our own unwillingness to deal with some things that this story paints.
