Exodus 12 is a very sobering passage. On the night of the Passover, cries rang out across Egypt as death entered every home—except the homes covered by the blood of the lamb. This message explores the seriousness of sin, the horror of judgment, and the breathtaking mercy of a God who stood watch over His people to protect them from the destroyer. More than a story about rescue from slavery, the Passover points us to the greater rescue found in Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb, who shed His blood so that judgment might pass over us. This sermon invites us to see both the devastating cost of sin and the astonishing beauty of God’s grace, and to rest in the God who is still. keeps watch over His people.

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.
