Christians are Pilgrims
Whether we grew up in the town in which we currently live or just moved there makes no difference in Christ. In this world we are exiles, foreigners, and pilgrims because we belong to another world, the one that is to come.
Read Looking to Jesus
Early in the Christian life we come to realize two things about the Bible: 1) it is essential to our faith, and 2) it is also a strange and wild book. Thankfully, Exodus teaches us how to read the Bible. As a church, we are now well into this book, and in recent weeks we have encountered three chapters that especially help us understand our Sacred Text: Exodus 12, 16, and 17.
Sing!
When people discuss worship in church today, the conversation often turns to what is new. It’s the new songs and new styles that draw the attention. Can we learn anything about worship today from a song sung over three millennia ago? I believe we can. The Song of the Sea (Exodus 15) reminds us that redeemed people rejoice by singing about who God is and what he has done.
Divine GPS: When God’s Leading Makes No Sense
We want God to lead our lives, to direct our steps, and to guide our decisions. If we’re honest, sometimes when he’s leading us, it doesn’t feel like he knows where he’s going. As we continue to work through Exodus as a church, we’re reminded that God leads us people, and he does in fact, know where he’s going. He doesn’t lead in the fastest way, but he leads for our good.
First Things
In light of its origin and contents, Paul evaluates rightly that the gospel is the most significant reality bearing upon all creation and to which all people owe a response.
A Meal to Remember
What could Exodus teach about the Lord’s Supper? Again and again, God gives his people meals to help them keep his saving work before them. In these instructions to celebrate together, we find key truths for our life together as Christians today.
Why is Easter so important?
Beyond the pastels, candy, and eggs, why is Easter so important in the Christian faith? Easter serves as Christians’ annual celebration as the most important part of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus. While there are any number of key aspects of the Christian faith, the Bible presents the resurrection of Jesus as the central element of our faith.
