Slow obedience is no obedience

A Reminder of Redemption

Speaker: Pastor Greg Hutchins Passage: Exodus 12:42-50 Big Idea:  God commanded a covenant meal as a rhythmic reminder of redemptive reality 1) A New People is Formed 2) A New Age has Dawned 3) A New Freedom is Won

The Passover

Text: Exodus 11:1-12:42 Speaker: Pastor Joshua Hughes Big idea: Since the blood of the Lamb is the only refuge for sinners, the question that matters most is, have you taken shelter under it? 1. A Sacrifice That Rescues Them (12:3-13, 21-23) Hebrews 10:11-14 2. A Supper That Reminds Them (14-20) 3. A Story That Remakes Them (12:1-2, 24-42) Within that remaking story, they take with them: - Gifts - Goyim - God himself

When "I AM" Says "I WILL

Speaker: Pastor Funmi Ojetayo Text: Exodus 6 Big Idea: The I AM speaks "I will" over our "I can't," and in Christ, every "I will" becomes "I have done it." I. The "I AM" of God's Identity (vv. 1–5)  + Before God says what He will do, He tells us who He is.  + The ground of hope is the person and character of God. II. The "I Will" of God's Promise (vv. 6–8)  + Seven promises. Four covenant gifts: + Liberation · Redemption · Communion · Inheritance III. The "I Can't" of a Broken People (vv. 9–13)  + They could not hear. Moses could not speak.  + God's "I will" is not canceled by our "I can't." IV. The "I Have Done It" of Jesus Christ (vv. 14–27) + The genealogy is the seam, and through it, we see Jesus.  + Every "I will" of Exodus finds its receipt at Calvary.

Two Rulers

Text Exodus 5 Speaker: Pastor Joshua Hughes   Big idea - The covenant God is coming for his people, so we can trust in his keeping and turn to his care when deliverance is delayed and hope is hard. 1. See and hear the heart of the cruel oppressor 2. See what his slavery does - it leads to madness - it leads to mutiny 3. See and hear the heart of the covenant God Two invitations: 1. Decide who will have your allegiance 2. Decide who will be your refuge

Slow obedience is no obedience

Text: Exodus 4 Speaker: Pastor Joshua Hughes  Big idea: Disobedience is disastrous, so we must rejoice in God’s patience, relying on God’s provision.  Objection 1 - "They won’t listen" (4-9) Ex. 14:31 2 Cor. 4:7 Objection 2 - "I’m not equipped" (10-12) Objection 3 - "There has to be someone else" (13) Objection 4 - The quiet refusal to obey (24-26) "(This) is a shocking reminder how strange the Old Testament can be.”   “Biblical scholars love this passage because it is totally incomprehensible”  “What?!” Application: 1. Let us obey, rejoicing in God's patience Rom. 2:4 2. Let us obey, relying on God's provision
