Episode 543: Exodus: Getting Egypt Out of Us

Today, Krista-Dawn Kimsey leads us in the service, to remind us that liberation takes longer than escape. In Exodus 17–19, Israel may be out of Egypt, but Egypt is still shaping their fears, desires, and imagination. In the wilderness, God desires to form them into a different kind of people, teaching them trust instead of fear, dependence instead of self-preservation, and community instead of slavery. The Exodus story is not just about getting people out of bondage; it is about God forming a people who can live in freedom and reflect His character in the world.

Episode 542: Exodus: Bread of Life

Randy Klassen begins August with this discussion that the God who delivers His people is also the God who sustains them. In Exodus 16, Yahweh not only feeds Israel in the wilderness, but begins reshaping their hearts and imagination. Every day, they are invited to trust that God will provide enough for today, learning dependence instead of control, generosity instead of hoarding, and community instead of scarcity. And in many ways, this becomes an early glimpse of the kind of King God is and the kind of Kingdom He is forming, a people shaped by trust, daily bread, shared provision, and dependence on the presence of God. Jesus the Bread of Life.

Episode 541: Exodus: Through the Waters

Matt Stovall takes us through one of the most famous stories in Exodus at the shores of the Red Sea. Here, God reveals Himself as the One who makes a way where we can't see one. Trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the waters, Israel discovers that deliverance will not come through their own strength, but through the intervention and provision of God. And in many ways, the Red Sea becomes a picture pointing forward to Jesus. Humanity, trapped in sin and death, could not rescue itself, so Jesus became the way through. What Israel experienced as dry ground through the waters points toward the salvation and freedom God would one day offer fully through Christ. God is still the Provider, is still making a way, still meeting people in impossible situations, and still inviting us to trust Him in the middle of our own “Red Sea” moments.

Episode 540: Exodus: The God Who Confronts Empire

Pastor Aeden Chan takes a break from the worship team to bring us our fourth sermon in the Exodus series. Discussing the plagues on Egypt and how Yahweh exists in ways that are hard, humbling, and deeply beautiful. At the same time, the plagues become a powerful declaration of God’s authority over creation and his unwavering commitment to lead and guide His people.

Episode 539: Exodus: Holy Ground

Santosh Ninan brings the third instalment in our teaching series on Exodus: The Story Behind Jesus. The burning bush is a powerful moment of God stepping personally into Moses’ story while also stepping into the larger story of an enslaved people. God meets Moses in his shame, fear, and hiding… but at the same time commissions him to become part of God’s work of deliverance and redemption for others.
