Like the mission NASA received from President Kennedy in 1962—“put a man on the moon before the end of the decade!”—our mission as Christians is also impossible. And we simply can't do it in our own human strength. But, the key is found in realizing that He CAN do it. When we finally come to the end of ourselves and our ability (realizing that we CANNOT), then we are prepared to allow God (the only One who CAN) the position of Savior, Deliverer, and Doer of the Impossible. He desires to do it in and through us. ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more resources, books, and sermons from Eric Ludy by going to: https://ellerslie.com/about-eric-ludy/
There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not from one hard thing, but from a lifetime of hard things stacking up. If you've ever felt that weight, Psalm 18 was written for you. In this message, Pastor Steve McKenzie walks through the retrospective of an old, scarred David who looked back on decades of constriction and remembered what happened the moment he ran out of words and could only whisper one: help. What God did next is the kind of story that changes how you pray, and how you see yourself. This week on Psalms for Weary People.
Book of Psalms Psalm 3 is David's prayer during a time of distress as he flees from his son Absalom. Surrounded by enemies and facing overwhelming opposition, David places his confidence in God rather than in his circumstances. He declares that the Lord is his shield, his glory, and the One who lifts up his head. Even amid danger, David is able to lie down and sleep because of his trust in God's protection. This psalm reminds us that no matter how great the challenges we face, God is our defender, sustainer, and source of victory. Key Verse: “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.” — Psalm 3:3 Hashtags: #Psalm3 #GodOurShield #TrustInTheLord #GodOurDeliverer #LiftUpYourHead #FaithInTrouble #DivineProtection #VictoryInGod #PrayerAndTrust #HopeInTheLordBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.“Thank you for listening to SendMe Radio — where we share the Gospel, inspire faith, and keep you connected with powerful stories and updates from around the world.

In Exodus 1-12, God reveals Himself as The One True God through the ten plagues, demonstrating His power over Egypt's false gods and delivering His people from slavery. This message explores God's supremacy, the significance of the Passover, and how these events ultimately point to Jesus Christ, our perfect Passover Lamb and Deliverer.
Pastor Femi Paul continued in the place of prayer with an exhortation titled Send David to Deliver Us From Reproach! Drawing from 1 Samuel 17, we reflected on how fear and hopelessness gripped Israel as Goliath continually challenged God's people. Yet the story changed with two powerful words: "Enter David!" We were reminded that when God's people seem overwhelmed by reproach, shame, opposition, or impossible circumstances, God is able to raise a deliverer and send help at the appointed time. Reading scriptures from Luke 1:74–75 and Psalm 22:19–20, PFP led the church in prayers for rescue, deliverance, and divine intervention. The message emphasised that God delivers His people from the hand and power of their enemies so they may serve Him without fear. Together, we declared that evil will not triumph over our lives, families, church, state, or nation, and that God will hasten to help His people. Confession: Lord, thank You for being my Deliverer and Helper. When fear or trouble arise, I choose to trust in You. Rescue me from every reproach, strengthen my faith, and let Your victory be evident in every area of my life. Amen.
Is your house clean - not just physically, but spiritually? In this powerful Bible teaching, we uncover what it truly means to consecrate your home and keep it set apart for God's glory. Using the stories of Moses and John the Baptist, we see what happens when discouragement causes us to strike at our Deliverer - and how God still moves in the midst of our mess. Jesus' message to John in prison and to us remains the same: He may not be removing you from your situation, but He is working IN it. Today's message will teach you how to: 1. Anoint your home and pray angel protection over every door and window 2. Walk in sanctification and discernment: you are chosen by God 3. Make your home a house of prayer, joy, and life-giving conversation 4. Develop christian habits that honour God in your household 5. Live in gratitude: you are not a foreigner, not an orphan “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15 Your home is not just a building. It is a sanctuary. It's time to live like it! #gebhardtberndt #empowerchurch #bible #holyspirit #protection #discernment #christian #habits #family #chosenones #bibleteaching #household
The judges of Israel delivered the people time and again from wicked foreign rulers. But Christ is a better deliverer because He saves us from sin and the evil one.
Big Stories About a Big God: Part 2 – Exodus: God as Our Deliverer
The LORD is our shield. The LORD is our Guide. The Lord’s protection and direction is for His glory. God protected and guided Esther to the place where she could be His voice to provide relief and deliverance for God’s people. She is an example for us. But Esther also points us to the Deliverer who arose to bring about our greater salvation.

Paul presents a divine revelation concerning the future restoration of national Israel, framing it as a mystery—previously hidden but now disclosed through divine revelation—so that Gentile believers would not grow arrogant in their own understanding or be unprepared when God fulfills His promise to save all Israel. He asserts that a temporary, judicial hardening has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles, predestined from eternity, has been gathered into the Church, after which the nation as a whole will be turned from ungodliness by the Deliverer who comes from Zion, fulfilling God's eternal covenant by removing their sins. This salvation, identical in nature to that of Gentiles, is not by law or ethnic identity but by faith in Christ alone, and it will be a resurrection-like event, demonstrating God's faithfulness to His covenant with Israel, just as He once restored them from exile, now restoring them spiritually through grace. The passage underscores God's sovereign control over history, the continuity of His promises, and the necessity of humility and biblical understanding in interpreting divine purposes.

What happens when pain gets so loud that it affects your ability to hear God? This weekend, Pastor Joaquin continued our MOSES series with a message reminding us that even when pain is present, God is still speaking, still faithful, and still moving towards broken and hurting people. Exodus 6:9Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery. Israel had reached a breaking point. Their suffering intensified, their hope faded, and the Bible says they could not listen “because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.”1) Pain can affect your ability to hear God's promises.Pain has a way of distorting perspective, shrinking faith, and making God feel distant. But the good news is that God does not abandon people simply because they are struggling to hear Him clearly. Even in weakness, discouragement, and exhaustion, God continues pursuing His people.2) God speaks in the middle of suffering.While Israel focused on bricks, bondage, and survival, God was already speaking liberation, redemption, and promises over their future. God did not begin by explaining everything; He began by revealing Himself: “I am the LORD.” Their suffering was loud, but God was still in control, still faithful, and still working even when they could not see it clearly.3) Jesus is God's loudest Word.All throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through His Word. And when God wanted to speak most clearly to humanity, He sent Jesus. The Word became flesh. Jesus is the greater Deliverer who stepped into our bondage to bring us freedom by grace. He did not come merely to inspire broken people, but to rescue enslaved people who could never save themselves. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus breaks the power of sin and brings people into true freedom and new life!Disappointment, anxiety, exhaustion, grief, or sin may have made it difficult to hear God clearly.But the good news of the gospel is this: God still speaks. God still pursues. And through Jesus Christ, freedom is still possible.
Pentecost was more than an ancient festival, it became the day God filled His people with the Holy Spirit and made them His dwelling place. In this powerful message from Luke 11, we see Jesus not only as Savior and King, but also as Deliverer, the One who has authority over every work of darkness. Through the cross, Jesus disarmed the strong man, Satan, and through Pentecost, He fills believers with the Spirit of God so they can walk in true freedom and victory. No bondage, fear, addiction, oppression, or stronghold is greater than the power of Jesus Christ. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is available today to free, fill, and transform every surrendered life.
Was King Saul a type of Christ?Most Christians think of Saul as Israel's failed first king—a man marked by disobedience, pride, and eventual rejection.

Unexpected Grace - Judges 3:12-30 - Pastor Jim Schultz explores the powerful story of Ehud, the left-handed deliverer raised up by God to rescue Israel from oppression. In this engaging sermon from the Book of Judges, we see how God uses unexpected and flawed people to accomplish His perfect purposes. As Israel falls again into sin, God's mercy shines through in raising a deliverer who brings both justice and freedom. Pastor Jim unpacks the tension between human brokenness and divine grace, pointing us ultimately to Jesus Christ, the greater Deliverer who saves without flaw or deception. This message reminds us that no one is beyond God's use and that His grace meets us in our weakness. Be encouraged to see your life through the lens of God's redemptive plan and rest in the unexpected grace found in Christ alone. Perfect for those studying Judges 3 or seeking biblical encouragement today.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman dive into the book of Judges and reframe it as a book not about judgment, but about deliverance. They explain that the Hebrew idea behind “judge” is closer to rescuer, defender, or deliverer, and throughout the book they highlight a recurring “cycle of faithfulness”: the people forget God, fall into trouble, cry for help, and God — nevertheless — raises up a deliverer again and again. The hosts emphasize how deeply this pattern reflects the mercy of God toward imperfect people and how every deliverer story ultimately points toward Jesus Christ, the Great Deliverer. The episode explores several major judges and the lessons their stories teach. Othniel reminds listeners that when people ask for help, the Lord sends strength. Ehud's story highlights how God often uses unexpected people and apparent weaknesses for powerful purposes. Deborah becomes one of the central figures of the lesson — a prophetess, encourager, and “mother in Israel” whose willingness to say “I will surely go with you” becomes a model of courage, mentorship, and faithful support. Grace reflects on the importance of people who lend faith and strength to others when they cannot move forward alone. Samson's story becomes a redemption narrative rather than simply a tragedy. Dave and Grace focus especially on the verse stating that “the hair of his head began to grow again,” teaching that even after failure and spiritual distance, strength and closeness with God can return. They emphasize that Samson's greatest moment came after his greatest mistake, illustrating that repentance can lead to even deeper faith and power than before. Gideon's story then highlights anxiety, insecurity, and learning to trust God despite fear. The hosts discuss Gideon asking repeatedly for signs, showing that faithful people can still struggle with doubt, and they connect his story to modern experiences of seeking reassurance, peace, and guidance from God. Throughout the episode, the central message remains constant: God continually raises up deliverers, works through weakness, stays patient with imperfect people, and fights beside His children even when they feel afraid, unqualified, or broken. The stories of Judges become reminders that God does not abandon His people after failure, but instead repeatedly offers rescue, encouragement, and renewed strength.

As Israel walked out of Egypt, their past would soon hunt them down. Pharoah set out to recapture the Israelites. They were trapped between a river and their oppressors. They were trapped behind an uncrossable barrier and their past coming to reenslave them. 3,500 years later, we face the same predicament. When our future feels impossible and our past is running us down, who will deliver us? Join us for the last week of our series, “The Deliverer”, as we look to the only one who can save us.
Since there is a God, nothing is more important than Who He is and What He is like. In this part of Exodus, He introduces Himself to Moses personally as the great "I Am." He is the true God, the living God, the everlasting God, the One who always has been and always will be. He is the God who loves His people and is committed to their freedom. As Moses stands vulnerable and exposed before Him at the burning bush, God reveals Himself with greatest clarity as the great "I Am" who has always been with and for His people and who has both the plan and the provisions to set His people free. He will execute His plan with perfection and to completion, in His way and time. Just as God worked in the lives of Moses and the Israelites, He works in our lives as well, showing us the desperation of our predicament and the sufficiency of His redemption. He shows us the various ways in which we are enslaved and He reveals Jesus as the One who alone can set free. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Daily Dose of Hope May 13, 2026 Name of God: Qanna – Jealous Scripture: Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 4:24, 5:9, 6:15 Prayer: El Qanna, You are a jealous God who loves me completely. Forgive me for the times I have placed other things before You. Help me to love You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Thank You for pursuing me with Your perfect love. In Jesus' name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently in a study on the names of God in the Old Testament. Each divine name illustrates a particular aspect of God's character and being. The more we learn about God's names, the more we learn about God's character. Today, we are focusing on El Qanna, which means Jealous God. This is used five times in Scripture, all in the first few books of the Old Testament. We may often misunderstand this name of God, because we see jealousy in its negative state, as it typically is seen as a sin in our fallen world. But when we consider that God is a jealous God, we have to remember that all things belong to God and there is nothing that is not already his. That means his desire for something is not rooted in covetousness, but rather the desire for relationship. The God of the whole universe desires a relationship with His creation and is jealous for them. It might be helpful to consider the covenant that God made with his people through Moses. On Mt. Sinai, God didn't just give the Law to His people, he created a deep, abiding covenant, or contract, with His people. The people had agreed to adhere to the terms of the covenant. In some ways, it was like they were married to the Lord. They were to be faithful to the Lord. And when they were not, God became angry. They weren't living up to their end of the covenant. If you think about jealousy in the terms of a marriage relationship, it makes a bit more sense. If you saw your spouse flirting with someone else, you wouldn't just shrug and say, "Whatever." You'd feel a protective instinct, a righteous anger at the threat that that person could be about to damage something sacred. Your reaction would not be selfishness; it would be devotion. It's an appropriate passion for an exclusive covenant love. We are to have no other gods before us because to do so would be to break the terms of our marriage covenant with God. As Creator, Provider, and Deliverer, he deserves to be worshiped and loved with everything we have. He loves us with a perfect love. When we cheat on Him, God as a totally Holy God deserves to be jealous. His jealousy comes from the truth that He loves us so much. He wants relationship with us. We often picture God as distant, calmly observing us from afar. But El Qanna reveals something different. God cares intensely about His relationship with you. It's not a casual thing to Him. You matter profoundly to the God who made you. God's jealousy means you're worth fighting for. You're the beloved He pursues with holy passion. And when you drift toward things that will harm you, He doesn't just shrug and say, "whatever." He fights for your heart and does everything He can to bring you back to Him. In all of the verses this name is used, the Scripture is referring to idolatry. You should have no idols before me. Of course, worship of idols could be prostrating oneself before a pillar or metal statue. In our world, it's more likely to be putting something else before God, like a relationship, our job, our money, an addiction, etc. What kinds of things do you put before God? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
In part 5 of our series, The Deliverer, we'll see the pride and power of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the hardness of heart that led him to reject God. But it was through Pharoah's rejection of God that God would reveal His power and His grace. What will it take for God to get your attention? What will it take for you to stop rejecting God and see His power and embrace His love? Will you harden your heart or believe?
Pastor explains that there is a particular kind of courage that never makes the history books. It works in the ordinary, unseen ebb and flow of a home!
On the pressures of writing a toast for your sister's wedding. On whether it's OK to call her a "bitch." On working her ass off to make it in Hollywood. On the joy of "The Paper."
Have you ever found yourself thinking, “God can't use me?” Have your dreams been dashed by disappointments or personal failures? Have your ambitions died? Do you find yourself just seeking to do your job, pay your bills, and try to find some peace and quiet? In week 4 of our series “The Deliverer”, we'll look at the call of Moses and the excuses he made for why God couldn't use him. Can God still use you?
What do you do when life has not turned out how you had hoped, or according to your plans? Whether it is a broken relationship, a lost job, a personal failure, or a life altering change. When your future is uncertain and you feel lost, there is a lot we can learn from the life of Moses. In this sermon, we'll explore Moses' first journey through the wilderness and what God may be teaching us in ours.
The Ten Commandments are often viewed as a restrictive, legalistic burden. However, Jesus presents them as a pathway to an abundant and better life. In the "Ten Words" (as they are known in Jewish tradition), we find a lifestyle defined by a relationship with the God who rescues. While modern culture prioritizes the latter six commandments concerning human interaction, the first four commandments—focused on our relationship with God—provide the essential foundation. Without putting God first, the rest of the law becomes unmanageable and nonsensical.Key Points1. Rescue Before Relationship (Exodus 20:1–2) The Law begins not with a demand, but with a statement of grace: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt." God establishes His role as Deliverer before He issues a single "Thou shalt not." These are family rules for those already rescued, not a test to determine who gets into the family.2. Word One: Prioritize the King (Exodus 20:3) "No other gods before me" is an umbrella statement for all other commands. It requires seeking the Kingdom of God first. When God is prioritized over family, career, and self, obedience to the subsequent commands follows naturally.3. Word Two: Proper Worship (Exodus 20:4–6) While the first command identifies who we worship, the second addresses how. We are prohibited from reducing God to an image or a "Golden Calf" that we can control. This includes making God in our own image by picking and choosing which of His ethics to follow. Note the corporate nature of sin mentioned here: what we do not overcome, we often pass on to future generations.4. Word Three: Honoring the Name (Exodus 20:7) Misusing God's name involves more than profanity; it includes hypocrisy. Claiming the name of Christ while acting contrary to His character is the most serious violation of this word. We are called to "hallow" His name in both speech and conduct.5. Word Four: The Rhythm of Rest (Exodus 20:8–11) The Sabbath is a creation principle. While not strictly repeated as a legal requirement in the New Testament (Colossians 2:16), it remains a vital rhythm. Resting is a test of trust—an opportunity to believe that God's work is more important than our own productivity.ConclusionJesus summarized these four words with the greatest commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." We do not keep these rules to earn love, but because He first loved and rescued us through the work of Christ.Calls to ActionEvaluate Priorities: Identify "good things" that have taken God's place as the primary focus of your life.Examine Your Conduct: Are you "wearing the name" of Christ in a way that reflects His character, or is there hypocrisy to address?Embrace Rest: Commit to a rhythm of rest this week as an act of trust in God's provision.

In this powerful Thursday prayer gathering, the focus shifts from teaching to encounter—calling believers into a moment of faith for healing, miracles, and deliverance.Rooted in scriptures such as Psalm 107:20, Isaiah 53:5, Luke 4:18, and Jeremiah 30:17, Overseer Azizah Morrison leads a fervent, Spirit-filled prayer declaring God as Healer and Deliverer. This session confronts sickness, affliction, emotional wounds, and spiritual oppression with bold, faith-filled authority.With warfare language and scriptural declaration, the prayer calls for bodies to be made whole, chains to be broken, and impossible situations to be overturned by the power of God.This is a call to believe again—for immediate healing, for supernatural intervention, and for testimonies to emerge from the presence of God.
Have you ever seen someone with a good desire make a hasty decision? They want to fix what is broken, but instead, they make it worse? Have you ever longed to see someone change for the better, but in your impatience, you pushed them away? As we explore the life of Moses through the pages of Scripture, we'll learn how to pursue our good desires with God's timing and His wisdom instead of our own.
This is message 36 in Gospel Record of John John 12:12-19 Jesus is the true King, but He does not come to fulfill human expectations or earthly ambitions. He comes in humility to bring peace with God, and every person must decide whether to receive Him for who He is or reject Him because He does not fit their desires. Enthusiasm and outward praise are not enough, because a heart that seeks Him only for personal gain will turn away when His purpose leads through sacrifice, while genuine faith recognizes His authority and submits to Him as Lord.

Has God forgotten us? Does He even exist? When life hurts, when it feels like nothing is going right, these are the questions that come to mind. We pray for God to rescue us, to change our circumstances, to take the pain away, to fix what is broken, to heal our hurts, but often it feels like God is doing nothing. As we begin week 1 of our series “The Deliverer”, we'll learn about the birth of Moses, and glimpse what God may be doing, even when we don't see it.
