Exodus 5-6; Whether times are good or bad right now, we all now that terrible times are inevitably on their way. In this sermon, Joel Kurz explains the terrible times of Ex. 5-6 and shows how Israel went from rejoicing to repulsion.

Exodus 3-4; The self-existant, independant God appears to Moses in a burning bush.

Exodus 1-2: The Exodus is to the Old Testament what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to the New Testament. The Exodus frames all of life and lays the foundation for the Gospel.

Exodus 20:17; You can't get enough! Your identity is defined by what you have! This is the world in which we live. And if we let the advertizements preach to us, we will end up on the rat-race of "wanting" and "needing" more. This final sermon in the "Ten Commandments" focuses on this underlying sin of coveting. Underneath every sin, is this sin of being dissatisfied with God.

Exodus 20:16; God is truth and we are to reflect his image. This sermon dives into the 9th commandment as Joel Kurz explains why we lie and what to do about. What we discover is that God doesn't leave us in our own deception but gives us hope. God gives hope for liars.

Exodus 20:14; Marriage and sex has been disconnected in society today. Sex has become, at best, a general expression of love, and at worst, simple recreation. As a result adultery is rampant. Problems change, but the same sin has always plagued humanity. Why? Because adultery is not merely an external problem. In this sermon, Joel Kurz explains that adultery is a problem of the heart. A problem which we all battle and what's more, adultery is a spirtual problem. At our core we have run from our first love. But good news - He has pursued us.

Exodus 20:13; Baltimore City experienced 45 murders last month. 45 human lives destroyed. And the root of it? The evil that lies dormant in all of our hearts.

Exodus 20:12; Society honors (and even idolizes) youth, not age. We praise the hip, not those with hip problems. We lift up kids, and tell them that their parents are irrelevant idiots.
