Moses Gets a Name

Exodus 2 - 3 | The story of the Hebrew people are oppressed and in need of rescuing. God hears their cry and is moved to compassion. But, who to call on? God is in need of a hero. God is in need of a savior. God calls on a man with half a name.

The Chaos Comes Back

Text: Exodus 1:1–2:10 Big Idea: Exodus is Israel’s identity story, retold by a people learning who they are after exile. It begins by showing that the chaos God pushed back in Genesis has returned through Pharaoh’s empire, slavery, and the Nile — but God is already preparing rescue through a baby in a tiny ark. Series Thread: God’s rescue does not begin when the powerful notice a problem. It begins quietly, faithfully, and often through overlooked people who resist chaos.

On the Word of a Woman | Luke 24

Servant of All

Luke 23 | Now that the leadership of the Temple has decided that they have a good reason to kill Jesus, now they have to make that a reality. That is going to be harder than you may think. Turns out the Romans need a good reason for a death penalty.

Not Fitting My World View

Luke 22 | Ever wonder if you're approaching faith backwards? Pastor Ron reveals a game-changing truth about the temple leaders who missed their Messiah—and how we might be doing the same thing today.
