When God Parts the SeaExodus 13-14Episode 8 Consecration – Invitation – Devotion 1. Consecration (Ex 13:1–16)Festival of Unleavened Bread - Remembrance of God's immediate deliverance.Consecrate = set apart, sacred.Identity: You belong not to yourself - you belong to God.Romans 14:8 - We live/die for the Lord.1 Cor. 6:19-20 - “You are not your own; you were bought with a price.”Listen God has saved your soul, but God has also consecrated your life.Question: How can my job, relationships, money, time, talent, social media, lifestyle belong to the Lord? 2. Invitation (Ex 13:17-14:31)God leads longer route - for our fragility.Question: Why not shorter? Why wait? Why wander?Pillar of Cloud/Fire - God's guidance.Joseph's bones - Faith in God's promises.Pharaoh's pursuit - terror in Israel.Moses: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm… The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”God's command: Stand Firm. Be Still.Crossing the Sea - Baptism.+ YouTube: "After You See This Map, You'll Never Doubt The Exodus Again." Channel Name - Ear to Hear1 Cor. 10 - Israel “baptized to Moses in the sea.”Baptism is our Crossing. 3. Devotion (Ex 14:31)Israel feared the Lord, trusted Him.Devotion Fix eyes in faith and worship.2 Cor. 4:18 - Fix eyes on unseen, eternal.Heb. 11:1, 27 - Faith = conviction of unseen; Moses endured as seeing the Invisible.We are not wishing on a star - not blind faith.Consecration + Invitation = encounter with God who bought us with a price, divided death, brought us to life.Identity is not devotion to our love for God, but God's love for us.Quote – F.B. Meyer: Learn what God will do for his own. Dread not any result of implicit obedience to his command; fear not the angry waters which, in their proud insolence, forbid your progress; fear not the turbulent crowds of men who are perpetually compared to waters lifting up their voice and roaring with their waves. Fear none of these things. Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the seas, the Lord sits as king upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth as king for ever...His way lies through, as well as in the sea, his path amid mighty waters, and his footsteps are veiled from human reason. Dare to trust Him; dare to follow Him!.CONNECT: https://crossbridgebrickell.churchcenter.com/people/forms/87727GIVE: https://crossbridgebrickell.churchcenter.com/givingPRAYER: https://crossbridgebrickell.churchcenter.com/people/forms/87727Social Media Handle: @crossbridgebrickell
If Judgment is Silenced, Grace Loses its Depth Exodus 12Episode 7 - Sep. 28, 20251. Some Days Matter More Than OthersGraduation, debt-free, healing, wedding, birth — unforgettable. Exodus 12 stands above all in Israel's memory. Still recounted today. 2. God's Judgment Is RealNine plagues already unleashed. Pharaoh's heart hardened. Even his officials say, “Just let them go! Egypt is dying!” Now comes plague #10: Death of the firstborn (Exodus 12:12–13). “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn… I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign… when I see the blood, I will pass over you.” Poetic justice: Pharaoh once commanded, “Kill every Hebrew boy” (Exodus 1). God has seen injustice. God has heard the cries of His people. Strong Statement: Evil and injustice do not have the last laugh. God is the only Judge. 3. If Judgment Is Silenced, Grace Loses Its DepthOur culture says:“Love is unconditional affirmation.” “Tolerance is the highest virtue — you do you.” Leads to: God doesn't judge. But… God is Love, God forgives, AND God is Holy and Just. 4. The Lord's PassoverInstructions: spotless lamb, blood painted with hyssop, roasted meal, cloak tucked in, sandals on, staff in hand (Exodus 12:2–11). This is the Lord's Passover — not Israel's paint job. Strong Statements:It's God's Salvation, not your Decoration. It's God's Deliverance, not your Diligence. The angel looked for the blood, not the brushstrokes. Question: What are you trusting in — your effort or His blood? 5. The Blood of the LambIsrael not spared because they were better — they were idolaters too. They were spared only by the blood of the lamb. Ezekiel 18:20 – “The soul who sins dies.” Sin deserves death — but God provides substitution. Biblical Hints of Substitution:Genesis 3: God covers Adam & Eve with animal skins. Genesis 22: Ram provided in place of Isaac, crowned with thorns. Exodus 12: One lamb for a household. Leviticus 16: One lamb for a nation. John 1:29: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” 1 Cor 5:7: “Christ, our Passover Lamb.” 1 Peter 1:19: “Redeemed… with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” If sin isn't serious, the cross isn't necessary. 6. Why This MattersGod must punish sin and destroy evil. But God made a way: the blood of Jesus. Ephesians 2:4–5 – “Because of His great love… by grace you have been saved.” Hebrews 11:28 – “By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so the destroyer… would not touch them.” Questions to the Heart:Are you under the blood of the Lamb? Are you trusting in Christ's sacrifice or your own goodness? Will you rejoice, repent — or refuse? 7. Call to ResponseSalvation isn't found in:Ethnicity Goodness Effort Proximity to God's people Only in Christ, the Lamb of God. Closing Declaration:If judgment is silenced, grace loses its depth — for it is the judgment we deserved that makes His sacrifice our only hope. Thank you Jesus, you have saved my life. Come under the blood of the Lamb today. Rejoice, or Repent — just don't Refuse.
