Speaker: Michael Gatlin
In this message, Michael explores the third movement of Exodus, showing how God was recreating a way to be present with his people and the way he continues to invite us into his presence today.
In this message, we celebrate the birth of Christ and look at the nativity story together through the eyes of the the Innkeeper, a Wise Man, and a Shepherd.
Michael and Brian lead us through an imaginative prayer exercise that helps us picture ourselves in the story of the nativity.
Michael shares on the 10 commandments as an amazing gift that reveals a dimension of freedom and flourishing made possible by those ten specific boundaries.
God has lessons to teach us that can only be learned in liminal spaces. Michael shares about the Israelites entering the wilderness and the sorts of questions they were working out while in that liminal space.
Michael shares on the final plague, showing how God was working to free his people, those who put their trust in him, and how that exact same freedom is available for you and I.
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.
