Exodus 1:8-22 – Fear God, Not Pharaoh
Fear can drive us to grasp for control, compromise our convictions, and make destructive choices. In Exodus 1:8–22, Pharaoh’s fear leads him from oppression to murder, while two seemingly powerless midwives show remarkable courage because they fear God more than the king. Their example reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear but choosing obedience to God even when it costs us something. Ultimately, Pharaoh’s failed schemes point forward to Jesus, whose cross appeared to be evil’s victory…
Exodus 1:1-7 – A Promise Still Alive
Generations come and go, circumstances change, and even the most important people eventually pass away, but God’s promises remain. In Exodus 1:1–7, Israel moves from one generation to the next while God quietly fulfills His covenant promises through seemingly ordinary circumstances. This sermon challenges us to interpret our circumstances through God’s promises rather than judging God’s faithfulness by what we can see right now. It also reminds us that we are not responsible for controlling the future, but for faithfully…
Psalm 120 – A Bumpy Road
Psalm 120 begins the Songs of Ascents, a collection of psalms traditionally associated with travelers journeying to Jerusalem. Like those ancient pilgrims, Christians are traveling through a world that is not their true home, and the road will sometimes be difficult. The psalmist shows us how to respond when we experience lies, conflict, disappointment, and opposition. Instead of despairing, we should pray; instead of seeking revenge, we should trust God’s justice; and instead of settling into this world, we should…
John 3:1–15 – Have You Been Born Again?
In John 3:1–15, Jesus tells Nicodemus that religious knowledge, morality, status, and good works are not enough to enter the kingdom of God. Even this respected Pharisee needed what every sinner needs: to be born again. This sermon explains that the new birth is not self-improvement or outward religious behavior. It is a sovereign work of God where he gives a person a new heart, cleanses them from sin, and brings them from spiritual death to life. Just as Israel…

Genesis 32:9-12 – A Desperate Prayer
When Jacob found himself caught between an angry uncle and a furious brother, he turned to God in prayer. Though he wasn’t known for being deeply devout, Jacob gave us a powerful example of how to pray when life feels overwhelming. He approached God humbly, reminded Him of His promises, and trusted in the covenant God had made. In the same way, we can come boldly to God—not because we’ve earned it, but because Jesus made a way. When trouble…
