And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.” (Exodus 7:5, NIV)

This sermon focuses on Exodus 6–14: God reveals himself as the true King by judging Egypt, defeating Pharaoh (as well as Egypts false gods), saving his people through the blood of the Passover lamb, and bringing them through the waters of the Red Sea into freedom. This directs us to Jesus as ...

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
And God said, “I will be with you.  (Exodus 3:11-12, NIV)

The God who revealed himself to Moses as the covenant LORD, the great “I AM,” sends insecure people into his rescuing mission, not by making them sufficient in themselves, but by promising his own presence — fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the true Rescuer, and poured...

And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’” (Exodus 6:8, NIV)

This sermon focuses on Exodus 3:1–8, where God reveals Himself to Moses in the burning bush as the holy, present Rescuer who sees, hears, knows, and comes down to deliver His people. The sermon will connect the burning bush to Jesus, showing that in Christ, t...

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. (Genesis 50:20, NIV)

Joseph’s story reveals a God who is sovereign even in suffering, working through betrayal, injustice, and long seasons of waiting to bring about redemption. Joseph's story is the same as the gospel as we follow him through prise, a fall, resurrection, redemption, and the offer of g...

“I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.
                                      (Genesis 12:2, NIV)

This week we will be turning to Genesis 12, the turning point where God begins to restore what was broken in the Fall by calling Abraham and making covenant promises to bless the world through him...and Abraham responds in faith. This se...

This year our Easter sermon reflects on how death seems inevitable.  BUT…through the Creation story we have seen that death is unnatural and not God’s intention for us.  This Easter we praise God  that because Jesue died on our behalf and then conquered death by rising again we can once again share in eternal life through him and with him.

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,

“Hosanna!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

(John 12:13, NIV)

This sermon connects the fall in Genesis 3 with Palm Sunday by showing that humanity keeps making the same mistake: choosing our own way over God’s. Yet Jesus comes as the promised King who bears the curse and defeats the serpent—not as the Messiah people expect...

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1, NIV)

This week we come to The Fall; when humanity exchanged trust in God for the illusion of autonomy. The serpent’s question “Did God really say?” (tempting us to define good and evil for ourselves) and the deception that the fruit would make us...

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Genesis 2:18, NIV)

As we continue to look at Genesis 2, we see that the climax of creation is not productivity but Sabbath—holy rest in God’s finished work—and not isolation but covenant companionship, culminating in “one flesh” union without shame. This points forward to Jesus as the giver of true rest and the Bridegroom who restore...
