Exodus #11 || Manna from Heaven

received_259132045268868.jpeg

Exodus 15:22 - 16:20
If we don’t pause to reflect on all the good God has done in out lives through his provision, we can fall into a pattern of grumbling and doubt. Mike encourages us to reflect on Israel’s pattern of grumbling through Exodus and the wilderness in view of our own discontentment. Mike calls us to live in the Grace provided to us today, to trust in God’s plans, and to trust that God will provide for us when we call.

Thrive - Work || Colossians 3:22-24

Thrive.jpeg

God created us to work in the beginning but the fall has ruined everything. Since salvation though it has changed the reason we work, not for futility but to give glory to God.

Accept grace; Worship is the motive; Do a good job; Expect the reward.

Exodus #9 || Crossing the Red Sea - From Chains to Freedom

The Red Sea is the definitive chains to freedom moment for the people of God in the Old Testament. On the west bank they stood condemned, and on the east bank they stood a freed people.

Today, God is still very much still in the business of freeing slaves from bondage. Paul writes in Galatians 5:1 - "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."

Exodus #7 || The Plagues - A Clash for Control

received_922856718157275.jpeg

"Who is the Lord that I should obey him?" It is the question Pharaoh asks Moses, and it is the question God emphatically answers with the great plagues. Everyone has asked this question in one way or another. It is the question of Lordship and control.

So who is the Lord? He is the true king who rules and reigns over everything - including you and I, and yet He is also the one who steps off His throne to rescue and save the lowly and broken.

The fifth sermon in the series "THRIVE"

What is Worry?

Worry is reaching out into the future, and dragging back into the present all the possible things that could go wrong.

Ps Mike dives into the gospel of Matthew and shows us how Jesus spoke of our daily worries and concerns, how we can bring them to God and trust in Him to provide for us.

Matthew 1:1-16

Illuminating the significance of the genealogy of Jesus Christ; how it shows the fulfillment of Old Testament promises and that the lineage he’s come from is not so dissimilar to the people he’s come for.

A king has come, is he your king?
