Active Pursuit | Episode 3- The Wilderness Life: The Bread of Heaven

In this episode, we explore Exodus 16 and the story of God providing manna in the wilderness. Even after being delivered from Egypt, Israel still struggled with trust, obedience, and the pull of their old life. God’s provision of manna was more than food—it was a daily test of surrender and dependence on Him. The instructions that came with the manna revealed an important truth: the abundant life God offers is found not in self-sufficiency, but in submission to His Word. We’ll also look at how the manna points forward to Jesus Christ, the true Bread of Heaven (John 6:30–35)—the One who satisfies our deepest hunger and invites us to live daily dependent on Him. The wilderness teaches us this: the abundant life is available to anyone who surrenders and submits to the Lord Jesus Christ. What stood out to you most in Exodus 16 — the mystery of the manna, the instructions that came with it, or how it points to Jesus as the Bread of Heaven (John 6:35)? God didn’t just give Israel food…He gave them a daily test of surrender and trust. 💬 Comment below:   Do you find it harder to depend on God daily or to rest in His provision instead of trying to control everything yourself?

Active Pursuit | Episode 2- The Wilderness Life: The Discipleship Journey Begins

Active Pursuit | Episode 2 – The Wilderness Life: The Discipleship Journey Begins Why does God sometimes lead us into the wilderness right after a victory? In Exodus 15:22–27, Israel discovers that the same God who defeated their enemies at the Red Sea is the God who provides for their needs in the wilderness. Discipleship is learning to trust God with our minds and obey Him with our hearts, and God often teaches us those lessons in seasons where we must depend on Him completely. 📖 Scripture: Exodus 15:22–27

Active Pursuit Episode 1: The Sound of Freedom

What is the natural response of a people who have been delivered? In this opening episode of Active Pursuit, we explore Exodus 15 and the Song of Moses, uncovering why singing is the God-ordained response of those who have been saved, rescued, and set free. From the Red Sea to Revelation, Scripture reveals that freedom has a sound, and it’s the people of God lifting their voices in praise.  Matt, Kyle, Cole, and Mallan explore this biblical truth and discuss how it proves true in their own lives.  This episode challenges believers to exercise as well as reclaim joyful, bold, and unified worship as an active pursuit of Christ.  We pray this conversation blesses God and edifies the body!
