  • Easter in Exodus
    Apr 6 2026

    In this sermon, we walk the seven-mile road to Emmaus alongside two disciples who are wandering away from Jerusalem—and away from their devotion. Like many of us today, they were fueled by confusion, cynicism, and the weight of unmet expectations. They were walking with the risen Christ, yet their eyes were kept from recognizing Him until He opened the Scriptures to show them a much larger story.

    We dive into the "Easter Eggs" hidden within the Book of Exodus—3,500-year-old shadows and symbols that point directly to the person and work of Jesus Christ. From the burning bush to the parting of the sea, we see that the story of the Resurrection didn't start at the tomb; it was written into the fabric of history long before the first century.

    Key Highlights

    • The Divine Name: Discovering why Jesus’ claim of "I AM" in the Gospels was a direct echo of the burning bush in Exodus 3.
    • The Passover Lamb: Understanding how the "First Supper" in Egypt explains the "Last Supper" in Jerusalem.
    • The Tree of Life: How God took a tree to turn bitter water sweet in the wilderness, prefiguring how the Cross transforms our bitterest sufferings.
    • The Greater Joshua: Seeing Jesus as the ultimate warrior who defeats our greatest enemies: Satan, sin, and death.

    Conclusion

    The sermon concludes with a call to stop stepping over the "Easter Eggs" in our own lives—those moments of divine intervention we often write off as coincidence. Whether you are currently drifting away from your faith or feeling "storm-tossed" by life’s circumstances, this message serves as a reminder that God has a plan for your suffering and an anchor for your soul.

    It is time to stop walking away from devotion and start turning back toward the one who has won the victory on our behalf.

    Call to Action

    • Reflect: Look back at your own story. Where has God planted "Easter Eggs" of His grace that you’ve ignored?
    • Repent: To repent simply means to turn around. If you’ve had your back to God, turn your face toward Him today.
    • Surrender: Step out from under the banner of your own effort and find rest under the banner of Jesus’ lordship.

  • Exodus: Coming Full Circle to the Foot of the Mountain
    Mar 29 2026

    This sermon explores Moses’ return to Mount Sinai in Exodus 19, a profound "full circle moment." A year after the burning bush, Moses returns leading a freed nation. The biblical narrative slows down, dedicating 57 chapters to this encampment. Through Moses' trips up the mountain, we see God’s invitation to covenant, His demand for holiness, and a stark warning against treating His presence casually.

    Scripture References

    • Exodus 19:1-8: God calls Israel His "treasured possession" and a "kingdom of priests."
    • Exodus 19:9-19: God commands the people to consecrate themselves before descending in fire and thunder.
    • Exodus 19:20-25: God warns the people not to force their way up the mountain.
    • Exodus 20:18-21: Moses explains that the fear of God keeps them from sinning.

    Key Points

    1. The Order of the Covenant God initiates the relationship before giving rules. He reminds Israel He carried them out of Egypt on eagles' wings. Grace precedes obedience. We obey because we have been rescued, not to earn rescue.
    2. A Kingdom of Priests God calls Israel His singular "treasured possession." Their purpose is to be a "kingdom of priests." A priest brings God to the people and the people to God. God wants an entire nation to represent Him to the world.
    3. The Demand for Holiness Because we represent a holy God, we must be holy. Commands to consecrate themselves were tangible ways to separate from pagan nations. God's demands for holiness make sense when we understand our calling to represent Him accurately.
    4. Do Not Be Casual with God God repeatedly warns the people not to cross the mountain's boundary. He warns against a flippant approach to His presence. We run a great risk when we treat God's holiness and our sin lightly.
    5. The Fear of the Lord When God descends in fire, the people are terrified. Moses says, "Do not be afraid... so that the fear of God will be with you." The fear of the Lord is a deep reverence that produces obedience, drives out worldly fears, and draws us toward God.

    Conclusion

    We are called to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests. We cannot fulfill this if we approach God casually or harbor unrepentant sin. The fire of God's presence is mesmerizing and dangerous. May we cultivate a healthy fear of the Lord that draws us closer to Him.

    Calls to Action

    1. Check the Order: Obey out of gratitude for God's rescue, not to earn His love.
    2. Embrace Your Priestly Role: Represent God's ways in your workplace, school, or family.
    3. Cultivate Reverence: Identify areas where you have become casual about sin and ask the Holy Spirit to renew your reverence.

  • Eden Podcast - 3: Hearing the Father - Creativity, Beauty, and The True Voice of God
    Mar 24 2026

    In the concluding episode of the Eden Podcast, recorded live at our women's faith event, we dive deeper into the beautiful reality of hearing God's voice and exploring the creative authority He has entrusted to us. Are you living in the freedom of your true spiritual identity, or are you still listening to the condemning whispers of the enemy? This Christian podcast invites you to tune your ear to the loving, constant voice of your Heavenly Father.

    In this session, we contrast the life-giving nature of God's voice with the destructive nature of the enemy's. The enemy's voice is often marked by confusion, urgency, and condemnation, while God’s voice brings clarity, peace, and loving correction. We discuss the importance of saturating ourselves in Scripture so we can easily distinguish between the two. When we know the Word of God, we can quickly identify and reject the lies that attempt to keep us bound in shame and fear.

    But our calling goes beyond simply identifying the right voice; it extends into active partnership with God. We explore the profound truth that we are not just passive recipients of God’s love; we are invited to be co-creators with Him. God, the ultimate Creator, has uniquely designed women to cultivate beauty, order, and life in the spaces He has placed us. Whether it's in our homes, our workplaces, our friendships, or our communities, we are called to push back the darkness by cultivating spaces of grace and beauty.

    The episode concludes with a powerful look at the ultimate restoration promised in Christ. The separation that began in Eden is overcome by the cross. We are no longer orphans hiding in the garden; we are fully restored daughters of the King. This is your invitation to step fully into your God-given role, embrace your creative calling, and confidently reflect the beauty of your Creator to a world in desperate need of His light.
