Beginning the book of Exodus, this message explores the slavery and oppression of the Israelites in Egypt and what archaeology reveals about the historical accuracy of this pivotal biblical account. From the discovery at Avaris to the identity of the Pharaoh of the Exodus, the evidence for Scripture continues to grow. But the deeper message is this: physical slavery is not the worst bondage we face. We are all enslaved to sin — and only one person in history fits the prophecies of Isaiah 53, having come to set us truly and permanently free.

Who does God bless — and why? In this message, Dr. Phil Stringer opens the Scriptures to explore a question that is both timeless and intensely practical. Drawing from Proverbs 11, the Beatitudes of Matthew 5, and decades of ministry experience, Dr. Stringer traces the marks of a life and a ministry that God delights to bless. He examines God's blessing on soul winners, on those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, on the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and even those who suffer persecution for doing right. Along the way, Dr. Stringer weaves in candid and often humorous stories from the mission field and the pastorate that bring these principles to life. An encouraging and challenging message for anyone who longs to see the hand of God at work in their life and ministry.

On the occasion of the dedication of Dayspring Bible College & Seminary's new campus on Salem Lake in Long Grove, Illinois, Pastor Jim Scudder delivers a message of celebration and faith rooted in Joshua 4. Just as God commanded Israel to set up twelve stones as a memorial of His miraculous provision at the Jordan River, this message calls believers to recognize and remember the miracles God works — both the extraordinary and the less noticed. Drawing on the remarkable story of Dayspring's two campus acquisitions, Pastor Scudder challenges the congregation to cultivate eyes of faith that see God's hand in all things. The message concludes with a call to the greatest miracle of all — the redemption of a sinner through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

When life isn't adding up, the answer isn't to find more resources — it's to subtract yourself and put Christ in the equation. Patrick Oduro, a missionary and Dayspring Bible College alumnus now serving in his home country of Ghana, brings a powerful message from the feeding of the five thousand. Using Philip's doubt-filled response and Andrew's small but faithful offering as a backdrop, he challenges believers to trust the foreknowledge of Christ, recognize that God often works through obscure and seemingly insignificant means, and remember that little is much when God is in it. With personal stories from the mission field and a clear gospel presentation, this message is a timely reminder that faith is the simple medicine for desperate souls — and that our God is still a miracle-working God.

Jacob and Joseph both died and were buried, but both knew that their existence would continue past the grave. Learn how to live for eternity and leave a lasting legacy in this message at Quentin Road as Pastor Jim Scudder continues his series from Genesis.

In this message we pause to remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Forgetting a sacrifice on our behalf has devastating consequences. The consequences of spiritual forgetfulness are far worse than most Christians realize. In a letter to an ancient church, we'll find that forgetting can result in losing our first love and eventually our first works. We'll discover an amazing example of what "first works" look like.

Many people are experiencing a spiritual famine while there is plenty of spiritual nourishment all around. This was the case for Jacob and his family. It was only after they followed God's leading, did they arrive at a land of plenty. God would use their time in Egypt to prosper them, and set them up to be a great people, eventually guiding them to the Promised Land. Then, and only then, would they bring forth the Savior and bless the whole world. Learn more in this message.
