When Life Doesn’t Make Sense

God Hears the Cry of the Oppressed | Exodus

Exodus reminds us that God hears the cries of people who are suffering and steps in to deliver them. In this message from our Bible in a Year series, we reflect on Moses, Pharaoh, the Israelites, and the deeper meaning of freedom. True freedom is not found in power, control, or earthly security, but in the God who liberates, restores, and calls us into life abundantly.

God Works Through Messy Families | Bible in a Year

The Bible does not give us polished, picture-perfect families. It gives us real people with broken relationships, painful choices, and complicated histories. In this message from Genesis 36–50, we explore the stories of Joseph, Judah, and Tamar and see how God works through imperfect people and difficult family histories. The same God who brought redemption through the broken branches of Jesus’ family tree can also bring goodness, healing, and purpose through ours.

Grace in a Broken Family: Jacob and Esau

Jacob and Esau’s story is filled with sibling rivalry, parental favoritism, deception, resentment, and years of separation. Yet their broken family is not beyond the reach of God’s grace. In this message from our Bible in a Year series, we discover that the hero of Genesis is not Jacob, Esau, Isaac, or Rebekah—it is the faithful God who works through imperfect people and brings reconciliation where vengeance was expected. Based on Genesis 25–33.

The God Who Sees, Hears, and Provides

Genesis 22 is one of the most difficult stories in Scripture. Why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, the son he had waited so long to receive? By examining the larger biblical and cultural context, this sermon reveals a God who is radically different from the surrounding gods—a God who stops the sacrifice and provides the ram. When we feel abandoned, God sees us. When we cry out in pain, God hears us. And when circumstances make us question whether God can be trusted, God provides.

Walking by Faith Into the Unknown

In Genesis 12, God calls Abram to leave behind what is familiar and step into the unknown. Through Abraham’s story and a personal testimony of immigration, family, VBS, and God’s faithfulness, this sermon reminds us that God sees the bigger picture. Even through our weakness, fear, and uncertainty, God can use our obedience to bless others for generations.
