     | 5,115 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). That also launces the annual Ten Days of Awe on the Jewish calendar which culminates on September 16th with Yom Kippur, the Day of ...read more
