Exodus

Rescued from Darkness Into the Hands of God

The Book of Exodus (meaning “Exit”) is the great story of the OT people of God. It’s all about God remembering His covenant, having compassion on His people who are in bondage to slavery, and bringing them out with a mighty hand and leading them on to the promised land. Their story is our story. Like them, we too were in bondage to slavery to sin. Like them, God sent us a redeemer. Like them, God bought us back to set us free. Like them, God brings us out, to bring us toward Himself. Do you need God’s rescue? Do you need to grow in awe of the Lord? Do you need to experience freshly His power, redemption, and leading in your life today? This series through Exodus will teach us in a fresh way how the God of Moses, “I Am,” is still our God today.

Story of Reality

Are We Living in Different Realities?

Have you ever had a conversation where you felt you were using the same words with different meanings? Almost like the other person was living in a different reality? This is the great challenge of our modern world. People are talking past each other because, in many cases they have a completely different view of the world. It’s almost like some people have a piece of the puzzle, but have never viewed the whole picture.

 

Paul wrote this to the church in Colossae: “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ (2:8).” Now more than ever it is crucial that followers of Christ have a view of the world grounded in Scripture. Too often, followers of Christ are taken captive by the stories, the messages of the world. We can easily believe a different story. This series will help Christians form a worldview rooted in the Scriptures and teach them how do have conversations with their friends about the gospel. The only story rooted in reality in the Gospel… can you tell it?
