    Exodus 33:18 - The Glory of God in Exodus - Pastor John Dean

    What is the glory of God, and how does the book of Exodus reveal it? When Moses asked the Lord, "Please show me your glory" (Exodus 33:18), he expressed a longing that should characterize every believer: to know God more deeply, behold His greatness, and glorify Him forever. In this introduction to a new sermon series through Exodus, Pastor John Dean explores how God's glory is revealed throughout the Old Testament and ultimately finds its fullest expression in Jesus Christ. The Exodus is more than the story of Israel's deliverance from Egypt—it is part of God's unfolding plan of redemption. Pastor John introduces three major themes that will guide the series: 1. God's Glory in Liberation: God's deliverance of Israel from slavery points forward to the greater freedom from sin found through faith in Jesus Christ. 2. God's Glory in His Covenant: The Mosaic Law reveals God's holiness and humanity's sinfulness, pointing to our need for a Savior and the better, eternal covenant established through Christ. 3. God's Glory in the Tabernacle: God's dwelling among His people foreshadows Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, whose sacrifice opens the way into God's presence. Throughout the message, Pastor John also challenges believers to examine their own hearts, resist discontentment, and find their greatest satisfaction not in the things of this world, but in the glory of God. Join us as we begin this verse-by-verse study of Exodus, discovering how the Old Testament points us to the Gospel and the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Matthew 24:36-44 - The Day and Hour - Pastor Casey Lewis

    When will Jesus Christ return? What did He mean when He said that no one knows the day or hour? And who is taken and who is left behind in Matthew 24? In Matthew 24:36-44, Pastor Casey Lewis continues through the Olivet Discourse, examining Jesus' teaching about the unknown timing of His Second Coming, the days of Noah, and the sudden separation that will occur when Christ returns. Jesus warns that no one knows the day or hour of His return—not even the angels of heaven. Pastor Casey examines what Jesus meant when He said "nor the Son," considering Christ's divine and human natures, His earthly ministry, and the doctrine of the Trinity. The sermon then explores Jesus' comparison between His return and the days of Noah. Just as the flood came unexpectedly while people continued their ordinary lives, the return of Christ will be sudden, visible, and accompanied by judgment. But what about the two men in the field and the two women at the mill, where one is taken and the other left? Pastor Casey considers the popular Rapture interpretation associated with dispensational premillennialism and Left Behind, then explains why he believes those taken are taken in judgment, while those left are preserved. He examines the context of Noah's flood, the Parable of the Weeds, the Parable of the Net, and Luke 17. Ultimately, Jesus' message is not an invitation to predict the date of His return, but a command to stay awake, be ready, and live faithfully for Christ.

    Matthew 24:32-35 - The Lesson from the Fig Tree - Pastor Casey Lewis

    What is the lesson of the fig tree in Matthew 24, and what did Jesus mean when He said, "this generation will not pass away until all these things take place"? In Matthew 24:32-35, Jesus teaches His disciples to recognize the signs He has given, remain alert, and trust that every word He has spoken will come to pass. Pastor Casey Lewis continues through the Olivet Discourse from an amillennial, already-and-not-yet perspective. Jesus was speaking to His first-century disciples about events they would witness—including the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple—while also describing the character of this present age and pointing forward to the greater fulfillment still to come at the return of Christ. The lesson of the fig tree is not an invitation to set dates for Christ's return. Just as new leaves show that summer is near, Jesus' words teach His people to recognize the realities that mark this age, stay awake, resist deception, endure hardship, and live ready for His return. Even through persecution, lawlessness, wars, false teaching, and suffering, the Gospel of the Kingdom will continue to advance. This message also examines Jesus' statement that "this generation will not pass away" and His promise that although heaven and earth will pass away, His words will never pass away. Christians can therefore trust every word of Christ, live by faith rather than sight, and remain spiritually ready for the day of His return.
