God's Power Against the Amalakites - Exodus 17
1w agoTap to summarizeIn this message from our ongoing series in Exodus, Men's Minister Adrien Parker takes us to Exodus 17 — where the Israelites, barely out of the wilderness, are ambushed by the Amalekites in one of the most lopsided matchups in the Old Testament.What God does next isn't what anyone expects. Instead of fighting the battle for them like he did at the Red Sea, he puts Moses on a hill with a staff and tells Joshua to go fight. And as long as Moses's hands are raised, Israel wins. When they drop, Israel loses.It's a strange battle — and it's one of the most honest pictures of what God is doing when he doesn't just fix things for us.Adrien draws on the imagery of architectural blueprints, ancient high places, and the Hebrew name Yahweh Nissi to unpack what this passage is really saying: that you are designed for dependency, given an identity you don't have to search for, and called into a victory that was already won.Key themes:Dependency as design, not weaknessThe four friends Moses needed (prophet, priest, servant, fighter)Identity and the high placesThe Exodus Way — God's pattern of brokenness, wilderness, and wholenessYahweh Nissi: the Lord is my BannerScripture references: Exodus 17:8–15 · Psalm 121 · Isaiah 59:19 · John 12:32 · 2 Corinthians 12:7–9 · James 1:2–4

Water From the Rock - Exodus 17:1-7 - Mother's Day
2w agoTap to summarizeWhat do you do when you've followed God faithfully — and you still end up in a dry, depleted place?In Exodus 17, Israel has already crossed the Red Sea. God has already fed them with quail and manna. And yet when they arrive at Rephidim and find no water, they grumble, complain, and ask the question that every person of faith has whispered in a hard season: "Is the Lord among us or not?"In this Mother's Day message, we sit down with three mothers from our congregation for an honest conversation about wilderness seasons — what they look like, what they cost, and what they produce in your faith over time.You'll hear from a mother who went back to school at 43 with three kids at home, survived breast cancer she discovered because of the very career detour she didn't want, and has been married 47 years. You'll hear from a mother nine months into an unexpected divorce, raising two kids and leaning hard into God and community to carry her through. And you'll hear from a mother navigating the beautiful chaos of raising four kids, learning to parent from God's blueprint rather than tradition or fear.What ties their stories together is the same thing that ties Exodus 17 together: God was already standing at the rock before any of them arrived. The provision was real. The source was unexpected. And the community He placed around them was anything but accidental.If you are in a wilderness season right now — depleted, unsure, or just holding on — this episode is for you.Key themes in this episode:Trusting God when the resources run dryModeling honest, imperfect faith for your childrenFinding God's provision in unexpected placesThe essential role of community in hard seasonsHow conflict-filled seasons deepen rather than destroy faithScripture: Exodus 17:1–7 | Psalm 95:1–9 | Romans 12:12 | Jeremiah 29:11

“Just Enough!” - Exodus 16
3w agoTap to summarizeWhat if the desert isn't a sign that God forgot you — but proof that He's keeping you close?In this episode, we're in Exodus 16 as Israel makes one of the fastest U-turns in Scripture: from worship at the Red Sea to full-on grumbling in the wilderness. They had abundance in Egypt. Now they have nothing. And their response reveals something uncomfortably familiar about our own hearts.We dig into:Why God led Israel into scarcity right after their greatest miracleThe difference between abundance and advancement — and why they're not the same thingThe Hebrew word lefah and what "just enough" actually meansThe razor-thin line between complaining and prayerWhat the Shema has to do with manna, quail, and your daily breadThe wilderness isn't a punishment. It's a classroom. And God's provision of "just enough" isn't Him being stingy — it's Him keeping you dependent on the right thing.📖 Scripture: Exodus 16 | Numbers 11:31 | Psalm 30:5 | Philippians 4:19

I Am the God Who Delivers You From Slavery - Exodus 14
Apr 20Tap to summarizeIn Exodus 14, the Israelites find themselves trapped—Red Sea in front of them, Pharaoh’s army behind them. It looks like God has led them into a disaster.But what if it’s actually a setup for something greater?In this episode, we explore how fear can drive us back toward what enslaves us—and why many of us struggle to embrace the freedom God offers.This message challenges us to confront the areas of our lives where we’ve grown comfortable with bondage and invites us to trust God even when the path forward feels uncertain.In this episode: The difference between God’s strategy and our expectations Why fear often leads us back to slavery Modern forms of “slavery” we don’t always recognize What it looks like to trust God in impossible situationsKey Scripture:Exodus 14Memorable Line:“The Lord will fight for you—you need only to be still.”Reflection Question:Where in your life does freedom feel more uncomfortable than staying stuck?

I Am the God of Consecration & Remembrance
Apr 13Tap to summarizeAfter four hundred years of slavery and ten life-altering plagues, Pharaoh finally says go. And Israel — standing on the other side of the most dramatic deliverance in history — asks the question we all ask after pivotal moments: now what?In this episode, we dig into Exodus 13 and God's two-word answer: consecrate and remember. We talk about why God asks for the things nearest and dearest to us, why his people kept forgetting him (and why we do too), and what it looks like to read ancient Hebrew scripture the way it was meant to be read — through imagery and story rather than outlines and bullet points.Whether you're in a season of new beginnings or feeling the weight of forgetfulness, this one is for you.Scripture References: Exodus 13 | John 3:16 | Romans 3:23 | 2 Corinthians 5:21

I Am the God of the Passover - Exodus 12
Apr 8Tap to summarizeHave you ever hoped something in your life would just pass you by?In this powerful Easter message, we explore the story of the first Passover in Exodus 12 and uncover how it points directly to Jesus—the perfect Lamb who was slain for us.The Israelites weren’t spared because of who they were, but because of what they did in faith: they applied the blood of the lamb to their doorposts. In the same way, we are not saved by our performance, background, or achievements—but by the blood of Jesus.This message is a reminder that: God is both patient and just Salvation has always required faith and surrender Jesus is the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb The blood of Jesus still has power todayKey Question:What “doorpost” in your life needs to be covered by the blood?Scripture Referenced:Exodus 12Key Takeaways: It’s not about your pedigree—it’s about the blood A little “leaven” (pride/sin) can impact your whole life Faith requires action, not just belief Jesus took our place so judgment could pass over usIf this message encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review—it helps more people hear the good news.

I Am Slow to Anger - Exodus 11
Mar 30Tap to summarizeGod Is Not a God of No Anger — He Is a God of Slow Anger Clash of Kingdoms | Exodus 11Throughout the plagues of Egypt, God has been doing something deliberate — taking down the gods of Egypt one by one. Plague by plague, the false gods fall. But in Exodus 11, only one remains: Pharaoh. And it's his turn.In this episode, we explore what the announcement of the tenth plague reveals about who God truly is. Psalm 145:8 tells us God is "slow to anger" — but slow is not the same as never. God is not a God of no anger. He is a God of slow anger. And there is a profound difference.We also look at the surprising instruction God gives the Israelites before they leave — to ask their Egyptian neighbors for silver and gold — and what that tells us about how God redeems what the enemy meant for harm.We close with two questions worth lingering in as we head into Easter week:What in this world has the potential to stir righteous anger in you?What in your own life might be stirring righteous anger in God toward you?Scripture References Exodus 11 | Psalm 145:8 | Galatians 6:7 | Ephesians 4:26Series: Clash of Kingdoms — a study through the book of Exodus

I Am the Face You Seek - Exodus 10
Mar 23Tap to summarizeOne of the most difficult doctrines in the Christian faith isn't hard to understand — it's hard to live by: "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. I will repay." In this message from Exodus 10, we watch God systematically dismantle the gods of Egypt through the plagues of locusts and darkness. But more than a history lesson, this text asks us a deeply personal question — how long will we refuse to humble ourselves before God? And what does it look like to trust that he will handle what we cannot?We explore what it means to leave room for God's wrath, why idols always demand a piece of you, and why the greatest contrast in this passage isn't between Moses and Pharaoh — it's between two invitations: one that leads to death, and one that leads to life.In This EpisodeA story of radical forgiveness from South Sudan — and the phrase Rabuna b'kafi (God will repay)Why God hardened Pharaoh's heart — and what it tells us about divine justiceThe plague of locusts and how it dismantled the Egyptian gods of agriculture and insectsWhat "darkness that can be felt" reveals about the God who defeats darknessAmun-Ra, the sun god — and why God's darkness was a direct confrontation with Egypt's chief deityThe idol that always wants a piece: why there's no serving two mastersThe Hebrew word panim (face) — and the stunning contrast between Pharaoh's last words and God's standing invitationScriptures ReferencedExodus 10:1–29Romans 12:19Matthew 23:122 Corinthians 7:10Galatians 3:262 Chronicles 7:14Psalm 27Revelation 22:4Key TakeawaysWe don't have to seek vengeance from our enemies. God will address it — either at the foot of his cross or at the scales of his justice.Exalting yourself does not end well. Humbling yourself before God always does.True repentance leads to life. False repentance leads to death.Idols always want to hold on to a little piece. God asks for everything — because everything with him is better than anything without him.Pharaoh said: "Seek my face and you will die." God says: "Seek my face and you will live."

I am Healer - Exodus 9
Mar 16Tap to summarizeWe’re terrible at spotting what’s fake — a science fair project proved it. When 250 people tried to identify AI-generated images, the average score was 45%. Worse than random guessing.But the most dangerous counterfeit in your life isn’t a photorealistic portrait. It’s an idol: a real thing you’ve given God-level power to protect you, provide for you, or define you.In this message from our Clash of Kingdoms series, Adrien Parker takes us through Exodus 9 — the plagues of livestock, boils, and hail — and shows us how God wasn’t just judging Egypt’s gods. He was exposing the false powers we all still trust today.In this episode:• What idols actually are (and why good things become dangerous ones)• “What’s your cow?” — the diagnostic question that will hit different• Why a hard heart isn’t dramatic rebellion — it’s just numbness• What the Hebrew word teshuvah means and why repentance is more than feeling bad• The question worth sitting with: What part of your heart secretly belongs to Empire?Scripture: Exodus 9 (Christian Standard Bible)Series: Clash of Kingdoms — a year-long study through the book of ExodusKEY TAKEAWAYS• An idol is any good thing we trust to do what only God can do.• God doesn’t just judge false powers — He reveals himself as the true one.• Empire works… until it doesn’t. God exposes the hidden cost.• Sin is disordered loves — not just bad behavior.• Your identity in Christ is not achieved. It is received.• Teshuvah: repentance is a turn, not just a feeling.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESExodus 9:1–35 | Psalm 119:105 | Proverbs 3:5–6 | Isaiah 42:16 | Jeremiah 6:16 | Matthew 4:17

I am the Way - Exodus 8
Mar 9Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we continue through Book of Exodus and examine the next plagues God sends on Egypt: frogs, lice, and flies. These plagues weren’t random disasters—they were direct confrontations with the gods and superstitions the Egyptians trusted.This message explores how God often reveals Himself by exposing the false things we rely on for security, identity, and hope.Key question:What “modern superstitions” might we be trusting instead of God?
