episode Set Free | Lessons in the Wilderness | Exdous 15: 22-27 cover

Description

In Set Free Part 12: Lessons in the Wilderness, we walk through Exodus 15:22–27 and see how God uses seasons of testing to shape His people. After the high of deliverance at the Red Sea, Israel quickly finds themselves in the wilderness, thirsty, frustrated, and grumbling. Yet in this moment, God is doing something deeper. He is not abandoning His people. He is teaching them. This passage reveals three powerful lessons for the Christian life: God exposes what is in our hearts, He faithfully provides for our needs, and He calls us to trust Him through faith and obedience. Like Israel, we often move from praise to complaint far too quickly, but God, in His grace, meets us in our weakness and continues His work in us. The wilderness is not our home. It is the place where God refines us. Through every trial, He is drawing us to depend on Him more fully and shaping us into the likeness of Christ. Ultimately, this passage points us to Jesus, the true and better Israel, who entered the wilderness and passed every test we fail. In Him, we find not only forgiveness, but the strength to walk faithfully through our own wilderness seasons. If you are walking through a difficult season, this message is a reminder: God is at work, even in the wilderness.

episode Put Your Yes on the Table | Isaiah 6: 1-8 artwork

Put Your Yes on the Table | Isaiah 6: 1-8

What happens when an ordinary person encounters the extraordinary holiness of God? In Isaiah 6, the prophet receives a life-changing vision of the Lord seated on His throne, high and lifted up. Confronted by God's greatness, holiness, and grace, Isaiah's response is simple yet powerful: “Here I am! Send me.” In this message, Pastor Kole Thomas walks through three truths that moved Isaiah to surrender his life to God's mission: God is in charge, God is holy, and God is forgiving. When we truly see God for who He is and remember what He has done for us through Christ, the only fitting response is to place our "yes" on the table and be willing to go wherever He calls and do whatever He asks. Join us as we discover what it means to live fully surrendered to God and His purposes.

The New Covenant | Hebrews 8:6-13

What makes the New Covenant better than the Old? In Hebrews 8:6–13, we see that Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant founded on better promises. While the Old Covenant revealed God’s holy standard, it could not change the human heart, provide a perfect priest, or fully remove sin. But through Christ, God accomplishes what the law could never do. In this message, we explore three incredible promises of the New Covenant: God writes His law on our hearts, brings us into a personal relationship with Himself, and provides complete forgiveness through the finished work of Jesus Christ. The tensions and promises of the Old Testament find their fulfillment in Christ, who reconciles sinners to God and gives new life through the power of the Holy Spirit. Join us as we discover how the New Covenant offers forgiveness, transformation, and the assurance that all of God’s promises are ours in Jesus.

Set Free | Who God Says You Are | Exodus 19 ; 1 Peter 2:4-9

Who are you, really? The world often defines us by our careers, relationships, accomplishments, failures, or even the struggles that have held us captive. But in Exodus 19, God gives His people a new identity after rescuing them from slavery, and through Jesus Christ, those same truths are applied to every believer today. In this message, Pastor Kole walks through Exodus 19 and 1 Peter 2 to show that God didn't simply set His people free from something. He set them apart for something. Discover what it means to be God's treasured possession, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation, and learn how your identity in Christ shapes the way you live, worship, and proclaim the gospel. Yahweh set you free to set you apart. The question is, do you believe who God says you are?
