The 9th Commandment tells us to not lie to each other. But perhaps there is more to lying than just making a non-factual statement? Perhaps we can lie with out mouth AND lie with our lives? This week we examine ways in which we may be lying...Από τον Kevin Wilson

In the 3rd Commandment God tells the Israelites to not take His name in vain. This week we explore what that actually means and how it applies to our lives today.Από τον Kevin Wilson

The 2nd Commandment (like the previous) outlines stipulations for the covenant between God and the Hebrews. Don't limit who God is by creating an image/idol of Him to worship. He is bigger than your understanding of Him! This applies to us today as well. In what ways do we make God bigger/smaller than He really is?…

The lead up to the giving of the Ten Commandments in chapter 20 shadows a traditional Jewish Wedding. In the form of a Ketubah - the first commandment has God telling the Israelites that they must choose Him over everything else in order for this covenant to work. Do you love others more than God?Από τον Kevin Wilson

For many - the 10 Commandments are a set of restrictive rules given by an angry God to control His people with. Yet, in Exodus 20:1-2 we see that they begin with a message of grace: God saves. How should this impact how we view Him in our own daily lives?Από τον Kevin Wilson

In Exodus 17 the Israelites experience confrontation from INSIDE the group and from OUTSIDE from the Amalekites. Here we see that the physical battles are won in through spiritual warfare. In chapter 18 Moses is visited by Jethro who educates him on how to delegate authority. Both chapters hold significant lessons for our own lives today.…

In Exodus 16 the Israelites get hungry in the desert. Despite their complaining - God graciously provides manna & quail for them to eat. This manna serves as a metaphor for the Word of God in our own lives. Listen in as Pastor Kevin reveals that Truth.Από τον Kevin Wilson

In Exodus chapter 9 we see God unleash 3 more plagues upon Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt. Each plague is meant to target these false gods and expose them for what they really are. Yet (as before) Pharaoh continues to harden his heart and refuse to obey the Lord. May we not be like Pharaoh...Από τον Kevin Wilson

This week we pause to take a look at who we are (both corporately as a church and individually as Christians). Tom Golden reminds us of who the Bible says we are and who we are not...Από τον Tom Golden

In Exodus chapter 8 we see the next 3 plagues inflicted upon Egypt. Frogs - Gnats - Flies all descend upon the land as God continues His assault against the Egyptian false gods.

In Exodus chapter 7 we see the beginning of the infamous 10 plagues. Plague #1 is turning the water of the Nile into blood - a direct assault against the Egyptian gods who control that mighty river. Yet, despite the evidence, Pharaoh refuses to believe. Many in our culture are the exact same way...Από τον Kevin Wilson

In Exodus 4-6 Moses returns to Egypt and (with Aaron) confronts Pharaoh with the instructions from the Lord. Predictably, Pharaoh doesn't take it well, but instead increases the burden on the Hebrew people. This week we discuss the spiritual implication of this for all of us as well.Από τον Kevin Wilson

In Exodus 3-4 we see Moses called by God (out of a burning bush) to become a Deliverer and lead His people out of Egypt. However - Moses can only respond with excuses on why he cannot do it. In the same way - God has called each of us into a new life of purpose. Will you and I respond with excuses?Από τον Kevin Wilson

In Exodus chapter 2 we are introduced to Moses. This chapter covers the first 80 years of his life - from his miraculous upbringing in Egypt to his time with Jethro in Midian. Moses wasn't perfect - yet it is amazing to watch how God preserves him and prepares him for the task ahead. God wants to do the same with you...…

This week we launch into the book of Exodus together. The book opens with the Hebrews in Exodus and shows how this new king (Ahmose I) comes to power in Egypt.

In Gen 48 we see Jacob on his deathbed making final preparations with his family. Jacob adopts Joseph's two sons as his own - adding them into the family inheritance. These sons of Jacob now total 14 in all and will become the future 12 tribes of Israel. However - as par the course - Jacob does not follow tradition - but reverses the birth order by…

In Genesis 46-47 we see Jacob and the rest of his family all relocate to Egypt with Joseph (70 members in all). In this episode we discuss why God relocated the family to Egypt and how this can be an encouragement to us today. When things are difficult - we should just "Keep Playing" just like Joseph did.…

In Genesis 45 we see Joseph finally reveal himself to his brothers after 21 years. It is clear that he has completely forgiven them for their past actions against him. By examining how he treats them we can self-assess whether we have forgiven those who have wronged us as well.Από τον Kevin Wilson

Watch as Amy compares the steps to prevent altitude sickness in the natural with the same in the spiritual. We are meant to fly with eagles (not turkeys)!Από τον Amy Wilson

In Genesis 42 we see the first reunion between Joseph and his brothers (yet under very different circumstances). Joseph designs a plan to test his brothers to see ion they have changed. Once again - Joseph serves as a typology of Jesus and a model we can follow in our own lives.Από τον Kevin Wilson

After a brief word regarding the recent developments in Israel - Pastor Kevin shares some insights from Genesis 40-41. How does Joseph respond to his crisis? How do you respond to a crisis?Από τον Kevin Wilson

In Genesis 38-39 we compare the actions of 2 very different brothers. In Genesis 38 we see Judah and his actions which reveal his low moral character. However in Genesis 39 we see the actions of Joseph which reveal a high moral character. We explore what happened in these chapters and are encouraged to strive to be like Joseph.…

We enter into the final section of our Genesis series by looking at the life of Joseph. In Gen 37 we see Jacob's other sons take revenge on their favored brother - toss him into an empty cistern - before feeling him into slavery. How do you imagine Joseph felt while sitting in that cistern? Perhaps you, in the past or are currently sitting in a cis…
