In the second half of Ephesians 2 Paul turns to consider how our common share in God’s riches through Christ tells us how we relate to one another in one body. In this rich paragraph he demolishes any other notion of lasting unity, showing how an eternal unity between believers has been forged through the cross. An important message to consider in a divisive season; we invite you to join us in reflecting on this beautiful aspect of the gospel!

Disappointment is no stranger to the Christian life, and sometimes, at the root, we find ourselves disappointed when what we expected from the Lord is not what comes to pass. This morning we take a look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:1–19, generated by John the Baptist’s disappointment and confusion. Join us as we are challenged once again to adjust our expectations in light of the teaching of God’s word and the certainty of the resurrection, even as we begin to see the opposition and hostility Jesus warned against take shape in his ministry, and celebrate with us the grace we find in the midst of the confusion and hostility!

Join us as we consider Moses’ song in Exodus 15 and the beginning of the journey from the Red Sea to Mount Sinai. As we zoom out from the passage we also consider how the Old Testament consistently borrows elements of a pagan worldview—only to subvert them and portray the Lord’s power and dominion. We also venture into a description of the latter half of Exodus before rounding out our discussion of the chapter.

Join us as we consider “works” and their place in the Christian life. We are encouraged with the reality that they are an “end” and not a means. We are NOT called to trust in our grip on Christ, but rather to trust in His grip on us.

In this captivating Sunday School session, we consider the dramatic narrative of Exodus 13:17 – 14, as the Israelites begin their journey to the Promised Land.
We discuss the significance of the pillars of cloud and fire. They are meant to remind us of an earlier covenant and the faithfulness of our God. He is not only with His people in their present need but is also keeping his earlier promises to Abraham.
As we journey through the text, we uncover the tension and anticipation that builds as Pharaoh’s army closes in, and also the miraculous nature of their deliverance in the parting of the Red Sea.

As Paul draws the first chapter of his letter to a close he names the things for which he prays. Full of thankfulness for the Ephesians, he prays above all that they might grow: in grace, in knowledge, in understanding of all that God has done for them in Christ. And in the face of all that might frighten and trouble them he reminds them of Christ’s power and dominion. To God be the glory!

Do not fear. Here in the midst of frightening instructions, Jesus pauses to give us four reasons not to fear. We find challenge & comfort.

In Exodus 12:1–13:16, we delve into one of the most pivotal moments in the Book of Exodus. We discuss the Passover as both an act of judgement and of deliverance, entirely resetting the Hebrew calendar.
