In the darkness or in the storms, fear reigns. Unless we take hold of something or someone else - Jesus, the Prince of Peace! Say 'YES!' to Him and your life forever changes!

People talk about "the good old days." Moses was leading a couple million people reminiscing of Egyptian slavery when their destination (in freedom) was yet unclear to them. When dealing with the headaches of life, seek God for spiritual relief.

To be a good leader, we need to be a good follower. To be our best, we need to learn from God by studying His Word and growing closer in relationship to Him throughout our lives.

Leaders and followers, we're a bit of both at different times in our lives. It's a humbling privilege. If you follow the best leader, you'll be a great leader.

On the Israelites' journey in the desert, they got impatient waiting on Moses to return from his meeting with God and made a golden calf to worship. Their grave error was going back to what was familiar instead of waiting on God's direction...

God's ways are complex yet perfect, and we can see that when we take a close look at how He weaves everything together - for GOOD. We see His grace. We see how He created us for relationship. He shows us boundaries that He knows we need. He...

Moses was an amazing person, but he was just that - ONE person. He couldn't meet the needs of all of the Israelites. Someone gave him great advice about building a team. Everyone is different so that means we all have different things to offer...

Most likely you've already had to make yourself a meal today. God gave the Israelites manna for 40 years! Free food and they complained. We truly are blessed but often complain too. God gives us grace, and we need to do the same.

An attitude can become a rut and complaining is contagious. Even following miracles that blessed over 3 million people. Their lives were spared but the Israelites felt hopeless and questioned Moses at every turn. We can turn a critical attitude into...

Moses and the Israelites were between a rock and a hard place, namely Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea. God made a (miraculous!) way where there seemed to be NO way. An amazing example of God's patient love and protection.

We will look at how God's power was demonstrated during the plagues of Egypt, and we can connect to God's power in our lives.

Throughout our lives we have different fears from being afraid of the dark to anxiety about paying the bills. At Christmas Jesus came to bring light and to make a way for us. An easy way steeped in humility and grace.

God gives us many gifts, but the greatest, most expensive gift you can EVER receive is the reason we celebrate Christmas. And this gift just keeps on giving!

Everyone has hopes and dreams, but they don't always come to fruition. Often, it's a lot tougher than we expect to succeed, or even to just keep afloat. God keeps His promises. Live on purpose, and live trusting Him.

Does life sometimes feel harder than it should be? Maybe your plans just aren't working out. God has a plan for you but it might not be quick & easy. It certainly wasn't for Moses! In the hard times, even when we struggle and feel like a...

To become a great leader, you need to be a great follower. There may be unimaginably long seasons of waiting on God's plan for your life, but He's not giving up on you, He's preparing you. Just look at the life of Moses!

We all make mistakes. Period. We do not need to hide, nor let them define us. Moses tried to hide his mistake, and then ran away. But God used his past and his present to affect his future - and the future of the Israelites. He never wastes anything!

Your purpose is not determined by your background, physical attributes, or culture; but by God who is beyond time and societal norms. It is through God's grace YOU were made and you are a part of His PERFECT plan. Choose to live ON purpose for...

Sibling rivalry is one thing, but just imagine growing up in Jesus' family! We know even they had doubts about Him being the Messiah, and they were closer to Him than anyone. We're going to look at their story from family to faith.

No matter our background, from preacher to new believer, we all have times of doubt. We will see and learn from Jesus' response to those in His sphere (in his family even!) who doubted.
