Excuses! Excuses!

We are really good at making excuses. It seems that no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions and would rather make excuses for their failures. Moses was no exception. When the call of God came, he offered nothing but lame excuses. God's response to his excuses speaks to us today.

Part 14: For God So Loved (John 3:16-21)

On the heels of Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, John provides one of the most powerful verses in all the bible encapsulating the gospel message in a few simple words.

Sharing Your Faith with Family and Friends

Sometimes the hardest people to share our faith with are those who are closest to us. Moses faced the same problem and we can learn from his example how to share our faith with family and friends.

Part 13: The Man Who Came By Night (John 3:1-15)

A Pharisee named Nicodemus came to Jesus by night to try to figure out who He was. Nicodemus didn't expect to be told that the only way into the kingdom of God was something that was impossible for him to accomplish.

When Things Seem Impossible

Moses and the Israelites found themselves in an impossible situation when they became trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army. There was no way out. There was no hope. Nevertheless, God made a way where there seemed to be no way. This story teaches us what we need to do when we find ourselves in a situation that seems impossible.

Part 12: A Heart of Darkness (John 2:23-25)

After Jesus starting displaying miraculous signs proving that He was the promised Messiah, some people started to believe in Him. However, their belief focused on the miracles, not on Jesus. Jesus knew that many of the same people proclaiming belief in Him at this point in His ministry would one day shout, "Crucify him!" Thus, displaying the darkness that resides in the hearts of men.

A Question of Integrity

There's a very unusual story in the Bible about how God nearly killed Moses before he ever returned to Egypt to deliver the people of Israel from slavery. Why would God do that? What was going on in this story? It all came down to a question of integrity.

Part 11: Jesus the Revolutionary? (John 2:12-22)

When Jesus cleansed the temple in Jerusalem, He was making a huge statement. Many thought He was declaring Himself as a revolutionary, but His plan was much bigger and deeper than simply a political revolution. He came to change how people meet God and how they worship.

God Has Big Plans for You

Moses' life led up to the fulfillment of God's call on his life. God also has big plans for your life and He's working now to prepare you for the fulfillment of that plan.

Part 10: Jesus Turns Water Into Wine (John 2:1-11)

The first miracle of Jesus' ministry seems like an oddity to our western mindset. Why would Jesus use His power for something that seems almost trivial? However, there are deeper lessons in this amazing miracle.
