Exodus 17:1-7 In this week’s passage, God tests the Israelites again – Will they trust Him when they’re thirsty? – but the people also test God by demanding that He solve their problem on their terms. If someone asked me, “Do you ever put God to the...

Exodus 16:1-36 God used difficult circumstances – no potable water in sight, food supplies depleted – to test the obedience of His people in ancient times. He uses difficult circumstances to test our obedience, too. Pastor Dave emphasized that God doesn’t test us to discover...

Exodus 15:1-21 The first song recorded in the Bible is Moses’ song of praise after God parted the Red Sea for the escaping Israelites and closed it again to wipe out the Egyptian army. The LORD is the focus of Moses’ song, and He should be the focus of our prayers. Too often, though...

Exodus 14:1-31 Pastor Dave asked rhetorically, “Is it egotistical of God to want glory?” His answer was that, while it is egotistical for a human being to want glory, it is completely appropriate for God. It is easy to point a finger at egotistical people who actively seek glory...

Exodus 11:1-10 Moses is 0-9 against Pharaoh. Nine plagues have struck Egypt, but Pharaoh still refuses to let the people of Israel go. The conflict has escalated to the point of Pharaoh threatening Moses with death. But Moses perseveres in doing what God called him to do, telling Pharaoh...

2 Corinthians 10:1-18 In this week’s passage, the apostle Paul returns to the accusations made by his opponents in Corinth. The Judaizers and their followers said that Paul was a hypocrite and a coward, that he walked according to the flesh, that he was on a power trip, that he was...

2 Corinthians 9:1-15 Pastor Dave noted that this week’s passage is a proof text for preachers of a prosperity gospel. They encourage giving as an investment strategy, a get-rich-quick scheme, and many people who call themselves Christians have embraced this distortion. Pray for our...

2 Corinthians 8:16-24 In this week’s passage, Paul described the care he took to ensure that the money he was collecting from churches in Macedonia and Achaia for needy believers in Jerusalem was handled properly. His practices provide a lasting example of how a church should handle...
