Terraforma Overseer Damian Williams talks about the church as a movement of disciples that multiply other disciples by living in Jesus' love and power.

What do you think when you hear the word "church?" For many, this is a mixed bag of beautiful tradition and problematic distortion. Today we explore the dream Jesus had of a missional community of self-giving love, specifically the ordinances of baptism and communion.

God has delivered the people of Israel from captivity in Egypt and brought them to the foot of Mt. Sinai. God delivered them for a purpose and to embody a unique covenant. How will they respond to His invitation? This is the final chapter in Moses' legacy.

Finally, Pharaoh relents and allows the Israelites to depart from slavery in Egypt. They will soon discover that the road to freedom is going to be difficult, but they can trust a God that has a plan even when their situation seems impossible.

Today we read a dramatic and climactic battle of wills when Moses appears before Pharaoh to demand the release of the Hebrew slaves. Pharaoh doesn't recognize God's authority; he stubbornly refuses to surrender.

Whatever you think when you say or hear the word "God" might be the single most important thing about you. Your thoughts on this determine how you understand yourself, relate to others, and move about in this world. Moses has a mountaintop encounter with God that changes everything.

Not all who wander are lost. Moses' time in the obscurity of the Midian wilderness shapes him into the kind of leader he will need to be. How can we grow through every season that we go through?

Moses' upbringing spanned two dramatically different cultures, creating a tension he had to navigate. Followers of Jesus occupy a similar position. Where do you find your identity, and how are we to occupy both the world in which we live and the world to which our hearts belong?

We owe the life and story of Moses to the courage and intelligence of several amazing women. These women showed conviction, compassion, and brilliance at just the right time, and their choices changed history forever. Moses' story begins in a remarkable way!

Pontius Pilate was the most powerful person Jesus ever met in terms of political and worldly power. And yet, when we look back at the meeting of a Roman Governor and a homeless teacher accused of treason, it isn't Pilate's stature or power that seem impressive.
