Reflection 1 | Week 1 | The Quiet Life in Midian

Reflection 1 | Week 4 | Open Hands

The moment Israel walks out of Egypt, God starts the long work of making them a people. There's no roadmap, no pantry, no plan they can see. Just a wilderness and a promise. So God feeds them, but the way He feeds them is the lesson: bread that falls fresh each morning, enough for the day and not a crumb more. This reflection on Exodus 16 sits with what God is teaching them in that daily dependence, and what He might be teaching us still.

Reflection 2 | Week 3 | What You Cannot Bring

At Passover, God commands his people to clear every trace of yeast from their homes. Paul picks up that image and turns it inward: the sin and clutter we tolerate works like leaven, quietly spreading until it shapes the whole loaf. Clear it out, and we're freer to follow God wherever he leads.

Crossing into Freedom | Journey Up the Mountain [3 of 9] | Nathan Lawson

Egypt's army is closing fast behind them, chariots and dust on the horizon, and the only thing in front of them is the sea. There's nowhere to run and nothing to do, which is exactly the position God seems to want them in. Then He opens a road where there wasn't one. This is the moment Israel stops being a band of runaway slaves and starts becoming a people, and it's a picture the church has long seen echoed in the waters of baptism. In this message Nathan Lawson walks us through the story of the Red Sea from Exodus 14.

Reflection 1 | Week 3 | The Lamb You Eat

Taken from Exodus 12:11-13, this reflection shows how the communion that we take as Christians is connected to the Passover meal. This meal was meant to point back to the moment of rescue, but also to give the Israelites strength for the journey ahead.

Reflection 2 | Week 2 | The Room That Forgot the Sun

Week 2, Reflection 2 explores Exodus 8:15 and the repeated hardening of Pharaoh’s heart to show how small, repeated refusals can turn into a settled resistance to God’s light. Through the image of a room that keeps its curtains closed, the episode explains how habits and neglect either open us to God’s light or let us grow comfortable in darkness, making clear that hardening is often gradual and self-made rather than sudden.
