"Why did God send the plagues?" They weren’t just punishments—they were declarations of His power over all creation. Each plague struck at Egypt’s gods, proving that Yahweh alone is Lord.

— 

The ten plagues were not random disasters; they were strategic acts of divine authority. Each one progressively dismantled the Egyptian belief system, proving their gods powerless before the God of Israel. Water turned to blood mocked the Nile god, darkness silenced the sun god, and the death of the firstborn shattered Pharaoh’s own claim to divinity.

God wasn’t just setting His people free—He was making a statement to the nations. The same power that overthrew Egypt’s gods still reigns today. Will we recognize Him as Lord, or harden our hearts as Pharaoh did? Discover how God reveals His authority in every generation in today’s message.

God invites you to come, but on His terms. The Bible is clear—when God calls, He expects obedience. Are you showing up the way He asks or the way you prefer?

— 

The burning bush wasn’t just a moment for Moses—it is an invitation to step into God’s presence and be transformed. Just like Moses, many of us have "shoes" on that can keep us from encountering God. These things—from significance and control to complacency and confusion—must be set aside if we want to fully encounter God.

How we respond to God’s invitation reveals how much we truly revere Him. Do we respond from a place of humble obedience or convenience?

What's holding you back?

Scriptures Referenced

Exodus 3:1-6; Matthew 6:16-18; Philippians 2:9-11; 1 Peter 1:13-16; Hebrews 4:16, 13:8

Key Insights

• When God tells you something, you’re expected to obey.
• How many times do we show up and want to approach God on our own terms?
• You might come the way you are, but you won’t leave that way.
• We serve a holy God.
• When it comes to fasting, it’s not about what you give up, it’s about who you give it up for.
• The primary reason we fast is to be in the presence of God.
• How we treat others is a direct reflection of how holy we believe God is.
• You won’t obey a voice you don’t recognize.
• Significant time in His presence will cause you to realize how small you are and how holy He is.
• The primary reason we fast is to be in the presence of God.

God always completes what He sets out to do. A word from Him fuels your faith and prepares you for what’s to come. Will you trust Him in the waiting?

— 

Joseph received a powerful vision from God, but his journey was anything but immediate. Betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison, he had every reason to doubt. Yet, God's promise was still unfolding.

A word from God isn’t just for you—it’s for those around you. When God speaks, He sets things in motion, even if you don’t see it right away. Will you hold on to His promise through every trial?

• Favor comes with a price tag.

Why did Esau get angry when Jacob stole his blessing but seem unconcerned when he traded his birthright? Listen as Pastor Barbie shares about the power of blessing.

— 

Esau’s reaction reveals a deep truth—he didn’t understand the value of what he had until it was gone. He traded his birthright for a bowl of stew in a moment of impulse, driven by hunger instead of wisdom. He viewed his birthright, which defined his identity and role in God's plan, as worthless in that moment. When Jacob received Isaac's blessing, Esau cried heavily, realizing he had lost something irreplaceable. Blessing, once spoken, was sealed. It carried the weight of divine favor, authority, and future prosperity.

How often do we treat our own God-given gifts with casual disregard, only to mourn their loss later? God has placed blessings within reach, but they must be received and embraced. Esau’s story warns us not to underestimate the power of words spoken over us and through us. 

Listen in and discover how to receive and walk in God’s blessing today.

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 25:21-34, 27:28-29; John 20:21-22; Ephesians 1:3; Hebrews 12:16

Key Insights

• Birthrights and blessings are two completely different things.
• Birthrights are positional and relational. They are about family and the future.
• Blessings are precious. They are irrevocable and should be spoken.
• God designed us with a desire to have blessings and truth spoken over us.
• The greatest breath-blessing we could ever receive is the Holy Spirit.

Are you willing to lay down your best plans for God's perfect will? Abraham placed his unwavering trust in God, even when it defied his understanding. Discover how surrender opens the path to divine provision.

--

We all have dreams, plans, and ideas we believe will lead to success. But what if God is asking us to lay them down? 

Abraham was prepared to sacrifice Isaac, trusting that God would still fulfill His promises. His faith wasn’t in his plan, but in God's power.

God calls us to surrender not because He wants to take from us, but because He wants to give us something greater. When we choose faith over control, we make room for His miraculous provision. 

What “Isaacs” in your life need to be placed on the altar?

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 22:1-18; 1 Samuel 15:22-23; Romans 12:1; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 11:1

Key Insights

• God never said that our understanding is a prerequisite for our obedience.
• It takes great faith to surrender the thing you believe belongs to you.
• God requires us to sacrifice our great ideas and best intentions.
• When we hold too tightly to the gift, we lose sight of the Giver.
• God will only multiply what we are willing to surrender.

Whose story are you living? We’re invited into God’s plan, and it’s about Him, not us. Don’t settle for less—see how surrender leads to His ultimate blessing!

--

When we mistake the privilege of being part of God’s story for the right to take the pen, we risk settling for less than His best. Like Abraham, we often seek God's blessing on our own plans instead of submitting to the greater promise He has for us. But God's faithfulness goes beyond our limits—He invites us to trust and walk faithfully, knowing His plans are greater than ours.

Remember that God will only multiply what we are willing to release, and when we let go, He leads us into something greater. Surrender and worship are essential; they bring revelation, align our hearts with God, and remind us that His promises depend on His nature, not ours. 

Are you ready to trust Him with your story? Listen and then take this to God to hear how God is calling you to walk with Him!

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 17:1-27; Luke 9:23; Romans 12:1; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 3:29; Colossians 2:11-14; Revelation 2:17

Key Insights

• God will give you small things to test whether your “yes” is on the table.
• When we step out of God’s plan there’s strife, jealousy, frustration, and anger.
• God’s call is not limited by age.
• God has two expectations: walk faithfully and be blameless.
• God always keeps His promises.
• How we respond to God matters.
• Worship unlocks greater revelation.
• With God’s promise, there’s always more.
• Pain is often the price tag for purpose.

Is your faith anchored in reverent fear of God or complacency? Learn from Noah's unwavering faith, grace, and rescue mission.

--

Noah’s faith was not passive—it was built on absolute certainty that God is who He says He is.

In a time when society ignored and rejected God, Noah walked in obedience, trusting in God's Word despite ridicule. His faith was not just belief; it was action. God called Noah to a rescue mission by grace, showing that faith involves responding to God's call with conviction and respect, not just receiving blessings.

We frequently desire a faith that offers comfort without requiring us to confront our challenges, and bestows blessings without the need for obedience. But true faith, like Noah’s, is anchored in a deep, reverent fear of God—acknowledging His power, sovereignty, and justice. Joshua MacLeod delivers a strong sermon encouraging us to assess if our faith is rooted in God's Word or just our personal views.

Listen now to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to live out a faith that truly honors God.

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 3:1, 3:3, 6:5-9, 7:5, 19:1-11; Joshua 6:21; Ezekiel 16-49, 33:11; Matthew 5:29-30; Luke 17:26-29; John 14:6; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 1 Timothy 2:3-4;2 Peter 3:9-10; Hebrews 11:1-7; Jude 1:7; Revelation 20:10

Key Insights

• We want a faith in God that doesn’t require fear of God.
• As you’re looking at your faith in God, is it anchored in reverent fear or are you taking Him lightly?
• God will take drastic measures to protect His plans.
• God doesn’t force people to do what we want them to do. God allows the consequences of our sin.
• Jesus joined into the suffering.
• God allows things He hates to accomplish what He loves.
• The Gospel message is a message of grace.
• Noah was given grace and then given an assignment. God has work for you to do.
• If you’ve received grace, you’ve been assigned to a rescue mission.
• How deeply do you believe God’s Word?
• God takes people seriously when they take Him seriously.
• Noah was mocked by everyone but he walked with God.

Real death is separation from God, the source of joy and love. The “Way of Cain”—following our own path—leads to death. God offers the true way.

--

Cain’s mistake wasn’t just his offering—it was his heart. He knew what God required but chose his own way, bringing the best of his labor instead of the blood sacrifice God had commanded. His disobedience was an attempt to redefine righteousness on his own terms. But no matter how good our efforts seem, they can never replace God’s perfect plan.

When we rely on our own strength, we walk in Cain’s footsteps—away from God’s presence. We, like him, find ourselves separated from God because of our defiance. But Christ offers another way—the perfect sacrifice that restores our relationship with God and leads to eternal life.

Listen to this sermon to discover how to reject Cain’s path and walk in God’s truth.

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 3:21, 4:1-9; Leviticus 17:11; Psalm 16:11; Proverbs 13:12, 16:25; Matthew 10:29; John 1:29, 10:1, 14:6; 2 Timothy 2:23; Jude 1:11; Revelation 5:1-7

Key Insights

• Not every question needs an answer.
• Separation from God came because we hid from God.
• Following our own paths for gain or fame leads us away from God’s will.
• Cain knew what was required, but thought he had a better idea.
• The best we have is never enough.
• Christ’s perfect sacrifice creates the way back to God and eternal life.

Sin fractures relationships, but God’s first response is pursuit, not punishment. Step toward the perfect love and restoration that he's provided through Christ!

--

Sin doesn’t just lead to bad choices—it distorts how we see God, ourselves, and others. It breeds blame, division, and shame, turning unity into competition and harmony into conflict. But even in our brokenness, God's first response is to pursue redemption instead of rejection. He seeks to heal what sin has shattered and invites us to step into His renewing grace.

The enemy wants you to believe that your failures define you, but God says otherwise. You are part of the greatest story ever told—a story where God offers a fresh start. His love is relentless, and His plan is restoration.

Listen to this powerful message and discover how God can transform your life, one step at a time.
