Robust Faith
Pharaoh has set himself up in opposition to God. The people are suffering under his heavy yoke of slavery and barbaric genocide. In the midst of this terrible situation, one family will demonstrate their faith in God and it leads to the one who would be their saviour. Pastor Joe examines new categories for us to understand our faith in light of how the characters in this story engage with their world.
In Defiance of God
In this epic opening chapter, Exodus shows us the main players in a battle that will rage for most of the book. It begins with a weigh-in between two contestants: Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews. As the chapter unfolds, Pastor Joe will show us what it looks like when someone defies the living God.
Jason Bryan-Brown: Psalm 73
God is good. Sometimes this is easy to say, other times it can seem like the biggest con of all time. As Christians we need to be honest with our struggles with our belief in the goodness of God. Jason Bryan-Brown unpacks a Psalm that helps us to do just that.
Karl Scott: Psalm 17
Many of us would know the anguish of being falsely accused of wrong-doing or being unfairly treated by those in power. Psalm 17 is a cry for vindication. As intern Karl Scott unpacks this passionate song, we will see how our cries for justice are met and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
