God Qualifies the Unworthy
Exodus 6 ends with Moses telling God he is unfit and unqualified. God's reply to Moses is strikingly gracious - 'See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh.' Our world grants a qualification to those who work hard and earn it, whereas God freely qualifies the unworthy.
Depression & God’s Grace
There’s no shortage of stigma around depression, including within the church. In Exodus 6:9, we read that God’s people couldn’t hear God’s voice because of their ‘broken spirit’ (depression) and ‘harsh slavery’ (oppression). God responds not with a rebuke but with kindness, faithfully continuing his plan to free his people. God promises the same for those who have placed their faith in Jesus. There is grace and mercy for those who are depressed.
What God Is Doing In Your Life
How would you describe what God is doing in your life? Maybe you feel like he is doing a lot, or wonder whether he is doing anything at all. But what if we were to ask God to describe what he is doing in the lives of his people? How would he answer that question? Exodus 6 contains that answer and gives us many reasons to be encouraged, excited, and grateful.
God’s Kindness in Confronting Sin
Exodus is full of surprises, but chapter 4 has a different type of surprise when God went to put Moses to death. Why would God confront Moses like this? Wasn’t Moses the one God had chosen to free his people from slavery? This story might catch us off guard, but it’s actually a story of immeasurable kindness and transforming grace.
When God Says Yes but Moses (& We) Say No
God clearly tells Moses the elders of Israel will listen to him. Moses says they won’t. What’s the real reason behind Moses’s questioning of God, and how will God respond? Is it possible to miss out on part of what God has for us when we tell God, ‘No, that’s not how it will work.’
Exodus: Ch. 3 - God’s Mission for Moses
Exodus: Ch. 3 - An Encounter of the God Kind
Exodus: Ch. 2 - Introducing Moses, a Sinner Saved by Grace
It’s been said that apart from Jesus, there is no greater figure in the entire Bible than Moses. However, scripture makes no effort to hide Moses’s flaws. The boy hidden in the basket grows to be a man who tries to run ahead of God with devastating results. Rather than pushing him aside, God responds to Moses with immeasurable grace as he continues to work on the character of the man chosen to set his people free. The early life of Moses shows us that sometimes what we see as a mess in our lives is actually evidence of God’s preserving power at work.
Exodus: Ch. 1 - God Remembers The Forgotten
When life is filled with pain it can be easy to think God is either unloving, uninterested, or simply not powerful enough to do anything about it. However, scripture shows us that when things appear dark to us, God is busy setting his perfect plans into motion.
Exodus: Redeemed for a Purpose - Series Introduction
The story of Exodus is our story; people who were once held captive and who have been set free. But just like in Exodus, our saving is a powerful work of grace by a kind and merciful God. In Exodus, God (a title) lets his people know him by name as he displays his character. This story is about far more than just freedom, as great as freedom is. This is a story that is ultimately about the Great Redeemer, Jesus.
Grace in the Waiting
Many of us who want things, want things now. And that includes what we want from God. In sharp contrast, the Bible teaches us that God ‘acts for those who wait for him.’ There’s grace for those who wait, and we are invited to wait with faith.
Look Up in 2023
At the beginning of 2023, Rich encourages us to follow the Apostle Paul’s encouragement in Colossians 3; to set our minds on Jesus, to put to death things that are part of the old life apart from Jesus, and to put on what is fitting for a life lived for the glory of Jesus.
