Sermons
Speaker: Michael Gatlin
In this message, Michael leads us through another look at the 10 plagues. This time, we look through the lens of idolatry, the way God is confronting the idolatry of the Egyptians, and, honestly, of all of us.
The entire exodus event is like a monument that constantly reminds us who God is and what he’s like and it reminds us what our lives are to be like—who and what we serve, whose we are, what it means to be the people of God in our current moment in history. Michael digs into this within Exodus Chapters 5 & 6.
As followers of Christ, we are invited into a very different way of life, a life connected to a creator who deeply loves us and who is inviting us into an adventure of becoming more like him. The book of Exodus is crammed full of extremely helpful pointers about how to live this new way of life. In this message, Michael shares some of these pointers from some of the more difficult verses in Chapter 4, ones that often get ignored or brushed aside.
In the biblical book of Exodus, God makes himself known and shows the humans what it’s like to live as his people on the earth. In this message, Michael teaches on the ability of the Exodus story to remind us how God has worked in the past and how meditation on it can help to help us say “yes” to what God is inviting us into today.
In the Old Testament book of Exodus, we see God revealing himself to his people—he’s teaching them about himself and who he is. Michael begins our brand new series in Exodus sharing from Chapter 1 on how God shows them (and us) how to live as a people who bear his name.
It’s surprising how often Jesus was challenged by the religious leaders about his eating habits. In this message, Michael continues our series on Questions Jesus Asked, looking at Luke 6 and sharing on the dangers of snacking on the Sabbath.
A big part of following Jesus is about learning to pay attention to what you love, what you desire, and allowing God to reorient your loves and your priorities. Michael shares on this by diving into the story of the rich young ruler from Mark 10.
Michael shares from Mark 4 about the way Jesus constantly invites us to continue to develop increasing trust, faith, and confidence in him and in his way of life.
Jesus’ questions get at what’s under the surface. Michael shares about the importance of allowing Jesus to ask us these kinds of questions and the way they lead to a healthier, more flourishing life.
