In Exodus 12–13, as Israel leaves Egypt, a surprising detail appears: a mixed multitude goes with them. Some want nothing to do with God, others want His blessings without His people, and still others are drawn to the community without truly surrendering to Him. But in the midst of it all, God reveals a stunning truth—there is a way for outsiders to come near. This message explores the different ways people respond to encountering God and shows how the Passover ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb who was cut off so that foreigners, outsiders, and sinners could be welcomed into the family of God. More than a sermon about church attendance or community, this is a message about union with Christ, the beauty of the church, and the breathtaking grace of a Savior who makes strangers into sons and daughters.

What does it really mean to fear the Lord? Sometimes the Bible tells us not to be afraid and then at other times it calls us to fear the Lord, how do these two things go together? In this message from Exodus 20, discover how the fear of punishment can drive us away from God, while the overwhelming experience of his grace and forgiveness produces something even deeper that draws us near. The first fear can improve our behavior but only the second fear can transform our hearts.
We all have desires. The question is, do we kill them all, or did God create us that way? Listen as we hear how the gospel transforms coveting into satisfaction in Christ.
Our words have the power to do far more than hurt feelings—they can take something from another person that is more valuable than money: their good name. Exodus 20:16 calls us not to bear false witness, and Scripture shows us that this command reaches into one of our most common sins: gossip. We may tell things that are technically true and still use our words to damage someone's reputation, stir up division, and rob them of the opportunity to tell their side of the story. But the gospel gives us something far better than simply learning to keep our mouths shut. Jesus, the Word made flesh, came not to expose and condemn his people but to reconcile us to God, cover our sin, intercede for us, and give us a secure identity that no one can steal. Come hear how the ninth commandment exposes our hearts—and how the words of Jesus can transform the way we speak about one another.
