Forgetting and Waiting

April 18, 2026

Following the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, and the numerous miracles of their deliverance by God, Israel very quickly began to forget God. In studying the story of Israel's relationship with God, we see a mirror of our own lives. There is an inverse relationship between waiting on God and forgetting Him.

April 11, 2026

It is a poetic book we don’t look at very often. It is a love story between Solomon and a young Shulamite girl who is never named. Rabbinical scholars decided to place this as the scroll to be read during Passover and UB because of the tender care and love the book describes. They recognized that as symbolic of the t...

We are called, which means the draw of God’s dynamic power. We have to respond, but it is the Father who then does the choosing, to put us into the category of the elect of God. And finally, we must live that way the rest of our days, being called, choses and faithful to the end.

A High Hand and Standing Still

April 2, 2026

Standing at the edge of peril on the shores of the Red Sea, with no visible way to escape and Pharaoh’s armies closing in, the children of Israel forgot God’s miracles and began to buckle until Moses commanded them, “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” Does this instruction hold true for modern Christians? This sermon, given on the ...

Is Remembering Enough?

April 2, 2026

Israel remembered what God had done for them releasing them from slavery in Egypt. But remembering alone wasn’t enough, because they didn’t place the same value on God’s instructions that He did. We need to make sure we remember all God has done for us, but also learn to put the same value on obedience that He does.

Does God Know You?

In reading the Exodus account, we see that God knew His people and that they, through His covenant with Abraham were significant to Him. Jesus warned that at some point, He will reject some who claim that He knows them. Today, for the people of God, this is a spiritual question. How can we know that God knows us?

Moses was a towering figure in Hebrew history as a bastion of faith and a man of action. But he didn't start out that way. What lessons can we draw from the scant history we have from the first 80 years of his life?
