Being blessed is not a state—it’s a story. It’s an origin story. It’s the story of how you began and why. It’s the story of God the Creator calling you into being, on purpose and for a purpose. It’s the story of God taking delight in you and naming you as good and beautiful. It’s…

Throughout Scripture, we discover that nothing is as common as it seems, not even bread. Bread fell from heaven as a sign of God’s provision; bread became a metaphor for the law of the Lord. Jesus fed the multitudes with loaves of bread, and referred to Himself as “the bread of life.” This week we…

Grumbling, complaining, sin, hearts far from God—these things were far too common for the Israelites in these desert wandering years. And often like us, they lost sight of how far away sin could carry them. How easily we often forget God’s goodness, His provision and protection. When Moses seemed too long in coming down from…

The book of Exodus, in many ways, is a book about waiting. It begins when generations of the people of Israel have been waiting for more than 400 years for deliverance and salvation from enslavement in Egypt. When Moses leads the people of God out of their slavery and into freedom, he leads them into…

We are on a mission with Jesus to let people know the hope of the Good News – that there is a God who knows them, loves them and wants them. Jesus modeled the best way to do this while He was on earth—through relational discipleship. He spent three years training His followers to create…
