The Once and Future King - Matthew 24:36-44

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30, the message is called THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, with Patrick Edwards.

Kevin McAlister knew when the Wet Bandits were coming to rob his house, to which he famously says, “When they come back, I’ll be ready.” Seems obvious, and yet, in the busyness of life we get so distracted that we often don’t give our faith much of a thought. Jesus warns, however, that as the once and future King He will most assuredly return one day to consummate His Kingdom and He intends to find us doing what He instructed us to do.

The True and Better Exodus - Exodus 32-40

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 23, the message is called THE TRUE AND BETTER EXODUS, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 32-40.

Not much can be more frustrating than an unresolved ending. We’re left without closure and comfort as to what happened to the characters or what came next. An unresolved ending, however, does indicate there’s more to come, which is exactly how the book of Exodus ends. There’s a greater exodus and greater redemption still to come.

Known - Exodus 25-31

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 16, the message is called KNOWN, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 25-31.

It’s one thing to know facts about someone and an entirely other thing to actually know them. God’s desire is not for religion but for relationship. He doesn’t want us to just know about Him but to know Him and be known by Him. To be redeemed means to enjoy the presence of God every day.

Reflecting the Redeemer - Exodus 19-24

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 9, the message is called REFLECTING THE REDEEMER, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 19-24.

Rules are restrictive. They limit who we are, what we can do, and the fun we can have along the way. But our Designer knows how we are meant to work and, thus, gives us instructions how to best live. The Law shows us what God is actually like and how we can flourish in His design for the world.

Knowing God - Exodus 16-18

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 2, the message is called KNOWING GOD, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 16-18.

How quickly we can forget something that has just happened. One would think that after watching a sea parted that you’d be riding that spiritual high for quite a while, and yet, just like that, God’s people begin to complain. It seems, then, that our bigger issue is not finding redemption from something, but inwardly learning how to live in surrender to something that is not ourselves.

Here is the video we showed at the start of the message (at 85 seconds in to the message):

Who is Like the LORD? - Exodus 15

ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 26, the message is called WHO IS LIKE THE LORD, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 15.

Worship is more than just music. Worship is a work of those who have been redeemed. Its focus is on who the Redeemer is and what need we have to be rescued. Worship is the proper response to salvation.

How the LORD Redeems - Exodus 12-13

ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 19, the message is called HOW THE LORD REDEEMS, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 12-13.

Whereas nearly 9 in 10 people claim belief in God, just exactly who that God is and what He or She or It is like differs based on who you ask. For most people it's a matter of opinion or religious dogma, but the Bible says only God Himself can answer this question. And to both the Israelites and Egyptians He reveals that He is the One who saves.

The LORD is Redeemer - Exodus 5-14

ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 12, the message is called THE LORD IS REDEEMER, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 1-4.

Exodus 5-14 | Whereas nearly 9 in 10 people claim belief in God, just exactly who that God is and what He or She or It is like differs based on who you ask. For most people it's a matter of opinion or religious dogma, but the Bible says only God Himself can answer this question. And to both the Israelites and Egyptians He reveals that He is the One who saves.

Slaves - Exodus 1-4

ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 5, the message is called SLAVES, with Patrick Edwards, from Exodus 1-4.

Exodus 1-4 | We tend to think of freedom as to what we’re freed from. Could be debt, chattels, a bad job, or a wicked government. As Christians we talk about redemption as freedom from sin and death, but we don’t often think as much as what we’re freed to. Turns out, we’re all slaves, it’s just a question as to slaves to what. As Bob Dylan sang, “You're gonna have to serve somebody. Well, it may be the Devil or it may be the Lord but you're gonna have to serve somebody.”

Living in the Middle, with Beth Anderson

ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 28, the message is called LIVING IN THE MIDDLE, with Beth Anderson, from Exodus 6; Philippians 1:6; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Hebrews 12:1-2; Romans 8:18-25.

Life is full of “middles” - awkward, uncomfortable and often overlooked. From Ruth and Naomi to Moses and the Israelites, God’s people have always wrestled with the tension of the in-between. So how do we live with faith, hope and endurance while we wait for God’s promises to be fulfilled?
