The book of Acts is filled with strange and awe-inspiring events. Tongues of fire. Miraculous healings. Dramatic exorcisms. Jesus ascending into the clouds. If this is your first pass through the book of Acts, the spectacle is hard to miss. But the greater miracle in Acts isn't the pyrotechnics. It's how God builds his church through ordinary, flawed, suffering people, and uses his church change…
God’s commandments reveal who He is and invite His people into deeper relationship with Him, showing us what a flourishing life with God looks like. Because God moves toward us first in grace and mercy, our obedience is not a means of earning His love but a response to remembering the love of our Father. The first commandment calls us to put God at the center of our lives, asking us to consider…
The Israelites arrives at Mount Sinai and encounters the weightiness and glory of a holy God inviting His people into covenant relationship with Him. God gives them a covenant and commands and He provides Moses as a mediator. The covenant points us to Jesus, the greater Mediator who brings us into the very presence of God, allowing us to draw near to the Holy One with a privilege Israel could only…
In this chapter, we see Moses pause, remember, and declare the ways God has been faithful as he recounts to Jethro God’s deliverance. In response, Jethro rejoices. Our declaration of God’s faithfulness allows others to see and savor His goodness. Jethro sees all that Moses is doing and encourages him to allow others to shoulder his burdens, as God intended. As we pray for one another and carry…
Even as Israel doubted and tested God, He responded with grace, providing water from the rock and victory over Amalek. These events point forward to Christ, the true Rock who was pierced to give life and the greater Deliverer who defeats the serpent and will bring perfect justice. Rather than testing God as Israel did, we are called to walk by faith, trusting Him in every circumstance.
In the wilderness, God tested Israel through healing, provision, and rest to expose their hearts and teach them to trust Him. Though they repeatedly grumbled, God graciously revealed Himself as their Healer, Provider, and the source of true rest. Every test in the wilderness ultimately points us to Christ, who is our daily bread and the One in whom we find true and lasting rest.
Israel sings not because life is easy, but because God's victory has become their victory. The Song of Moses celebrates the mighty power of God that defeats every enemy and assures us that, through our union with Christ, death itself has been conquered and God's strength is always for His people. God's calls us to make His victory known, so as we await the day when all creation joins the new song…
Pharaoh’s “shock and awe” strategy in going after the Israelites was an attempt to overwhelm them with fear, but Moses calls God’s people to respond differently: “Fear not, stand firm,” trusting that the Lord Himself will fight for them. As God parts the Red Sea and defeats Egypt, He reveals His holiness, power, and glory, inviting all people to stand in awe of Him, for His steadfast love endures…
God faithfully led Israel through the wilderness by the pillar of cloud and fire, demonstrating that His way, even when it is longer, is always wiser than the shortcuts we would choose. Today, God continues to guide His people through the Holy Spirit, His Word, and the call to faithful obedience. As we trust His leading rather than our own understanding, we are transformed into the likeness of…
God used rituals to remind Israel that He had freed them, made them His people, and pointed them toward the coming redemption in Jesus Christ. In doing so, He shaped Israel's identity, passed down a reminder of God's faithfulness to future generations, and emphasized that salvation is experienced within a community of believers. Today, believers continue this through Sabbath, communion, and…
The final plague demonstrates the finality of God’s judgment against sin and the certainty of His salvation, freeing His people from Egypt forever and giving them confidence to walk in freedom. The haste of Israel’s departure reminds us of the urgency of responding to God and following Christ. Through the Passover, God established a lasting remembrance that points beyond itself to Christ’s atoning…
God judges Egypt’s firstborn while providing Israel a way of rescue through the blood of a lamb. The Passover lamb served as a substitute, bearing the judgment that would have otherwise fallen on the people. God then exalts Israel by delivering them from slavery and providing for them in abundance. He establishes Passover as a lasting reminder that His people belong to Him, redeemed by the blood…
