The Journey

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 5, 2022

Pastor Dennis looks at God’s promised presence and rest to the children of Israel on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, and how that same presence and rest of God accompanies us on our journey through the wilderness of this world filled with desolation, trials, difficulties and an enemy.

Joseph: His End, His Future, His Faith Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 15, 2022

At the end of life and facing death Joseph is the story of a victorious faith. Hebrews 11 is the hall of faith chapter. In the faith hall of fame are Joseph’s father Jacob, his grandfather Isaac, his great grandfather Abraham.

I find it very inspiring when someone facing death looks forward to heaven by faith. They have the assurance of things hoped for. They know that they will go to heaven when they die. They have faith in God. At the end of life and facing death Joseph is the story of a victorious faith. Hebrews 11 ...read more

Remember God's Strong Hand (Exodus 12:51-13:16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 16, 2022

God set up all of Israelite life, so it'd be a constant reminder not simply of God, but of God's power. Why?

Let's start today, by reminding ourselves of where we are in Exodus. At this point, Yahweh has killed the firstborn of every Egyptian-- from human, up to cattle. Pharaoh has released God's people from their servitude. And Yahweh gave favor to the Israelites, so that they could ask for ...read more

When Sight Becomes Faith (Exodus 13:17-14:31) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 21, 2022

Here at last, the people truly "see" God's hand, and "trust" and "revere" God. Now, anything is possible.

Today, I want to try to respect our story, by treating it in its entirety. We should hear it all at once. And it's important for the story, to start it, not in chapter 14, but at Exodus 13:17. This marks a transition ("and then"), and there's something here that we need to ...read more

Speak, Lord

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2026

When we are guilty of a lack of trust, like Elijah, we know that this sin too is forgiven. Our God loves us and quietly, gently notes our sin, assures us of His forgiveness, and then points us in the direction that we should go.

7. Joseph - Let Down And Lifted Up Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 14, 2023

Joseph was let down by his family, by a woman he would not be tempted by and by a man he helped. He may have been tempted to see all this as being let down by God, but he didn't. He remained faithful and God raised him up and raised the nation that gave Jesus to you and me.

The Wilderness Way

Contributed by Larry Grant on Apr 29, 2023

A philosopher once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” What if we not only remember our history but also learn from it, and begin to change our minds and actions today, so that our tomorrow will not mirror our yesterday?

Exodus 13:17-18 (NKJV) the Way - the War - the Wilderness April 30, 2023 I have observed a parallel, a congruency between the Jewish Hebrew Slave and the American Black Slave and I have come this morning with a few questions that deserve an answer.

Sermon - God’s Promises Are Stronger Than Your Problems

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 8, 2025

The believer can have this assurance that “they are never alone—God goes before them, walks beside them, and lives within them.” In Deuteronomy 31:8, Moses reaffirms the promise God made to Israel as they were leaving Egyptian captivity, and God's Promises did not fail them.
