In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, host Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the Book of Exodus chapters 7–13, where God's power is revealed through the dramatic plagues that fall upon Egypt. As Moses confronts Pharaoh again and again, the escalating plagues show that the Lord alone rules heaven and earth, giving Pharaoh repeated opportunities to recognize His authority. For the enslaved Israelites, these events must have strengthened their faith as they witnessed the Lord defending His covenant people. Through these miracles, the narrative builds toward the ultimate act of deliverance—the Passover—foreshadowing the saving power of the Lamb of God. While these chapters center on Moses and Pharaoh, this episode also highlights the often-overlooked experiences of women within Israelite homes during these pivotal moments. Israelite mothers played a crucial role in faithfully preparing the Passover meal, marking their doorposts with the lamb's blood, and teaching their children the sacred meaning of the night of deliverance. Their quiet obedience and faith helped preserve the covenant within the family and ensured that the memory of God's saving power would be passed from generation to generation. As Lynne Hilton Wilson explains, these women stand as powerful examples of covenant faith—participating in God's work of redemption within their homes and pointing symbolically to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Firstborn who delivers all God's children from spiritual bondage.

The parting of the Red Sea is one of the most dramatic displays of God's power—but the greatest miracle in the story isn't the sea.Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul shows how the Creator not only commands the forces of nature to rescue his people but also uses his power to transform fearful, doubting hearts into hearts that trust and believe.To hear more of these studies, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.

Even when the people around you turn away from God, He sees and remembers those who stay faithful. God is patient and gives people time to repent, so His silence should never be mistaken for approval of evil. Because of His longsuffering, it can seem like the wicked prosper while the faithful are overlooked, but a day is coming when God will clearly separate those who truly serve Him from those who do not. Until then, outward success is not a reliable sign of God's blessing, and believers must remain faithful without letting the prosperity of sinful people cause them to lose sight of salvation. __________ Malachi 3:16–18 NLT, Exodus 34:6 NLT, 2 Peter 3:8–9 NIV, Matthew 13:28–30 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

As we enter Holy Week, we pause with one of the most direct and striking declarations Jesus ever made. In this seventh meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we reflect on Jesus’s words in John 8:56–59:“Before Abraham was, I AM.” Throughout this series, we have considered the familiar “I am” statements—images and metaphors that reveal Jesus as bread, light, shepherd, gate, and vine. But this moment is different. Here, Jesus is not offering a picture. He is making a claim. Speaking to religious leaders who questioned His authority, Jesus identifies Himself with the very name of God revealed in Exodus. The people listening understood exactly what He was saying. They believed He had committed blasphemy, and they responded by picking up stones. This is a turning point. Jesus does not leave room to be understood merely as a good teacher or wise prophet. He clearly declares His divinity. This guided Scripture meditation invites you to sit with this scene and reflect on what it means that Jesus is fully God and fully man. Through several slow readings of John 8:56–59, you will be guided to listen, imagine the moment, respond honestly, and rest in the truth of who He is. As Holy Week begins, we are reminded that it is because of who Jesus is that the cross matters. It is because of who He is that the resurrection brings salvation and hope. Lent prepares us to celebrate Easter with clarity and conviction. Jesus is not simply part of the story. He is the I AM. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

He saw it and was glad.57 The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?”58 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!”59 At that point they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.

In this powerful and deeply personal session of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz shares a message in the midst of personal and communal challenges. As we approach Pesach (Passover), Shabbat HaGadol, and Parshat Tzav, this session explores a profound idea: the Exodus is not just a story from the past—it is a living process unfolding within us and around us right now. Through raw reflection, Ari confronts what happens when the identity we rely on is suddenly stripped away. What does it mean when we can no longer be “the one who carries”? And what does it look like to allow Hashem to carry us instead? Woven into this episode are themes of grief, healing, and resilience, including reflections from a house of mourning (shiva), heartfelt prayers for the community, and moving eulogies that illuminate how we carry forward the legacy of those we love. Set against the backdrop of current events in Israel, this episode reveals a timeless pattern: moments of fear, pressure, and uncertainty often precede revelation and redemption. This is an invitation to: Let go of limiting identities Step into the unknown Trust in a deeper unfolding story Because redemption is not just something we remember—it's something we are living.

In this episode, David Wollen explores how the events of Exodus point to a greater Deliverer and reveal God’s pattern of rescue fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

It is often said that preparation shapes celebration.That's why, this Sunday, we prepare our hearts for what's to come.As we ready ourselves to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we pause to reflect on what was sacrificed on our behalf—the blood shed by our Savior. As we conclude our Crimson Thread series, we turn to the book of Exodus and the Passover, where we see a foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice. On the night when applied blood meant life given, we witness the beginning of what would ultimately lead to our salvation—the death of Jesus, and His blood poured out so that we might have life.Today, we will sit in reverent remembrance of the Passover—what it established for God's people and its lasting impact on all who come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.Listen to this special, full-length service episode.--WebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistSunnybrook App (ios)Sunnybrook App (Google)Connect with us!How can we pray for you?

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-god-who-dwells-with-his-peopleFrom the very beginning, God has been on a mission to dwell with His people—not at a distance, but intimately, face to face. The tabernacle was never just a tent in the wilderness; it was a living picture pointing forward to Jesus, the one who would tear the veil and invite you into the presence of God forever. And now, through Christ, you don't just visit where God dwells—you carry His presence wherever you go.

Palm Sunday isn't just the start of Holy Week—it's the key to understanding Easter. In this message, we unpack the connection between Palm Sunday, Passover, and the sacrifice of Jesus. From the story in Exodus to Jesus entering Jerusalem as the Lamb of God, every detail points to God's plan to rescue and redeem us. The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna” would later cry “crucify Him.” And if we're honest, we can find ourselves in that same tension. This message is a powerful reminder that Jesus didn't come just to meet our expectations—He came to save us. As we step into Holy Week, this is your moment to reflect, receive His grace, and prepare your heart for Easter.

In this episode, I share from a deeply personal place—walking through my sister Beth's final season and the question that has followed me through these days: Do I really trust God to be who He says He is—even here?   Anchored in the story of manna from the wilderness, this episode explores what it looks like to rely on God's daily provision, not yesterday's strength, yesterday's faith, or yesterday's grace—but what He offers us today.   We talk about how manna was never meant to be stored up, how God meets us fresh each morning, and how even when His provision changes form, His faithfulness never changes.   Whether you're in a season of deep loss, overwhelming uncertainty, or simply the quiet weight of everyday life, this episode is an invitation to stop striving, open your hands, and receive the manna God has for you right now. In This Episode, We Talk About: The biblical story of manna and God's design for daily trust (Exodus 16) Why yesterday's faith cannot sustain today's need How Scripture becomes fresh manna when life feels unbearable Finding peace when anxiety tries to pull us into the future God providing for us—even while we rest The moment manna stopped—and what that teaches us about seasons of transition (Joshua 5:12) How God's provision doesn't stop when seasons change—it simply looks different Key Scriptures Mentioned: Exodus 16 Isaiah 40:26 Joshua 5:12 Habakkuk 3:17–19 A Word for You Today If the manna in your life looks different than it used to— If faith feels quieter, slower, or unfamiliar— This does not mean God has left. It may simply mean you've entered a new season. The same God who sustained you then is the God who is sustaining you now. Reflection Questions: Where might I be trying to live on "old manna" in my life right now? What does daily dependence on God look like for me in this season? Has God's provision changed form in my life—and how might He be inviting me to trust Him there? What is one small way I can gather fresh manna today?   Fill In The Blank Listening Guide: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHEzaWrzHs/CTC5P0eDZsJ8BjNnOgSWRw/view?utm_content=DAHEzaWrzHs&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=hfd3773a825 Full Episode Study Guide:https://www.canva.com/design/DAHEzaPUOTw/K4wuVr6Bpfqo7HQ_e1DECQ/view?utm_content=DAHEzaPUOTw&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h858d57059c 7 Day Scripture Companion Guide: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHEzrRMyjI/VLbYN_ALTSyHOwm0ZqS8aw/view?utm_content=DAHEzrRMyjI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=ha02bbb6c32 Small Group Discussion Guide: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHEzXReBnA/EmAtk7lhMlSoLmKSAc7Mig/view?utm_content=DAHEzXReBnA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h562e032dfb

The Pesach Perspective: Built For Redemption Pesach is not just a story of freedom. It is a question directed at each of us: what are you doing with the freedom you've been given? From the Rambam to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this episode reveals a powerful truth. G-d did not remove struggle from our lives, He gave us the ability to rise through it. The Exodus was not the finish line, it was the beginning of responsibility, purpose, and becoming. As we sit at the Seder, we are not looking back, we are stepping into a living story. Every mitzvah, every moment of clarity, every choice we make continues what began in Egypt.

Series: GenerousWeek: 6Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:7-15; Exodus 35:4-5, 35:21-22, 36:5-7; 1 Chronicles 29:10-16; Matthew 6:19-21Preacher: Brian Lowe

This sermon explores Moses' return to Mount Sinai in Exodus 19, a profound "full circle moment." A year after the burning bush, Moses returns leading a freed nation. The biblical narrative slows down, dedicating 57 chapters to this encampment. Through Moses' trips up the mountain, we see God's invitation to covenant, His demand for holiness, and a stark warning against treating His presence casually.Scripture ReferencesExodus 19:1-8: God calls Israel His "treasured possession" and a "kingdom of priests."Exodus 19:9-19: God commands the people to consecrate themselves before descending in fire and thunder.Exodus 19:20-25: God warns the people not to force their way up the mountain.Exodus 20:18-21: Moses explains that the fear of God keeps them from sinning.Key PointsThe Order of the Covenant God initiates the relationship before giving rules. He reminds Israel He carried them out of Egypt on eagles' wings. Grace precedes obedience. We obey because we have been rescued, not to earn rescue.A Kingdom of Priests God calls Israel His singular "treasured possession." Their purpose is to be a "kingdom of priests." A priest brings God to the people and the people to God. God wants an entire nation to represent Him to the world.The Demand for Holiness Because we represent a holy God, we must be holy. Commands to consecrate themselves were tangible ways to separate from pagan nations. God's demands for holiness make sense when we understand our calling to represent Him accurately.Do Not Be Casual with God God repeatedly warns the people not to cross the mountain's boundary. He warns against a flippant approach to His presence. We run a great risk when we treat God's holiness and our sin lightly.The Fear of the Lord When God descends in fire, the people are terrified. Moses says, "Do not be afraid... so that the fear of God will be with you." The fear of the Lord is a deep reverence that produces obedience, drives out worldly fears, and draws us toward God.ConclusionWe are called to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests. We cannot fulfill this if we approach God casually or harbor unrepentant sin. The fire of God's presence is mesmerizing and dangerous. May we cultivate a healthy fear of the Lord that draws us closer to Him.Calls to ActionCheck the Order: Obey out of gratitude for God's rescue, not to earn His love.Embrace Your Priestly Role: Represent God's ways in your workplace, school, or family.Cultivate Reverence: Identify areas where you have become casual about sin and ask the Holy Spirit to renew your reverence.

God's Purpose in Plagues • Part of our weekly Sunday morning study through Exodus.

Happy Palm Sunday!  Hosanna!  Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem: Palm Sunday - Passion Sunday - story is found in: Matthew 21 Mark 11
Luke 19 John 12 Many of us know the Palm Sunday story, but do we know the details? Today we will look at some of the most fascinating and intentional details of this story.     1.     Did you know that donkeys around the world have a similar dark marking on their backs that runs along the spine and across their shoulders?  It is a cross.  Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a beast with a cross emblazoned on its back.      2.    Why haven't I heard this before - meaning why didn't I know about this and other details before? Join us as we talk a look at the Palm Sunday story with a Jewish view of the story to see some amazing and significant pieces of the story.    PASSOVER - Pastor reviews the story of the Passover and the 10th plague. By placing lamb's blood on their door posts, the angel of death would pass over their homes. Passover was celebrated annually. In Exodus we read about God telling Moses how to annually celebrate the Passover event, "This month (Nissan) is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household."  Jewish Passover Schedule: Nissan 10 - the lamb was chosen and set apart and we read in Exodus 12:6 "take care of them (lambs) until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight." Nissan 14 - the lamb was killed as the sun was setting. Nissan 15 - the Passover lamb was eaten. A closer look using several verses from the Bible, we see:     ⁃    Nissan 9 - John 11:1 we read "Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead."     ⁃    Nissan 10 - Palm Sunday - John 12:12-13 "The next day (the day after Nissan 9) the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the king of Israel!""       ⁃    Reminder - Nissan 10 is the day the Passover lambs were herded into Jerusalem and set aside for sacrifice and it is at this very time that Jesus, the Lamb of God sets Himself apart as the sacrifice for all Israel and all the world as He comes into Jerusalem with all the other lambs.      ⁃    Nissan 14 - Luke 22:7-8 "Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."" The Jewish people had all come to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. As many as a quarter-million lambs would be needed and slaughtered. Then at sunset the next day starts - so that evening it is Nissan 15 - the day the Passover meal is eaten. Our God is a God with a plan! He's sets all pieces of the story in line for the coming of the Messiah. The prophetic pieces all fit together as we look through the scriptures.  Jesus is our Passover Lamb who sets us free. 1 Corinthians 5:7 "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."  And because of His sacrifice we willingly surrender our lives over to Him for He alone is worthy. Revelation 5:12 tells us, "In a loud voice they were saying: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise." Every piece fits together - God's plan and purpose AND His deep love for each of us is revealed. His love is a love that caused the Lamb of God to lay down His life for us. It is a love that culminates at the cross where the Son of God was killed by man. God's love knows no limits and His faithfulness knows no bounds.  It's at the cross that he shows us the magnitude of His love. And it's in the empty tomb that He shows us the victory. And that changes everything and is why our lives can no longer be the same. Because He loves us that much - now our lives are never the same once we see the fulfillment of the scriptures in Jesus our Messiah. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Palm Sunday isn't Jewish, but when we look at the event of that day with Jewish eyes the significance of God's plan and His love cannot be missed. Now What?

Morning lessons: Psalms 71; Exodus 37; Mark 1:1-13.  In you, O Lord, have I put my trust; let me never be put to shame.

Harrison finishes our sermon series, Enduring Words, Abiding Love, with a sermon from Exodus 20:17. (March 29, 2026)

Palm Sunday 2026   Exodus 12:3-7, 12-13 ESV   3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, 6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight. 7 "Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.       12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. 13 The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.             Matthew 21:1-5 ESV   Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once." 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,   5 "Say to the daughter of Zion,   'Behold, your king is coming to you,   humble, and mounted on a donkey,   on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.'"       Matthew 21:6-9 ESV   6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"       2 Kings 9:13 NIV   13 They quickly took their cloaks and spread them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the trumpet and shouted, "Jehu is king!"       Psalm 118:25-26   25 Lord, save us!   Lord, grant us success!   26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.       John 12:12-13 ESV   12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!"       1 Macabees 13:51   51 On the twenty-third day of the second month, in the one hundred seventy-first year, the Jews entered it [Jerusalem] with praise and palm branches, and with harps and cymbals and stringed instruments, and with hymns and songs, because a great enemy had been crushed and removed from Israel.     Luke 19:41-42 NIV   41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.

There is an irony set at the cornerstone of Jewish memory. The very texts that proclaim the Jewish people's liberation from Egypt—the Song of the Sea, the Haggadah that we recite at the Passover seder—borrow their most evocative imagery from the propaganda of our Egyptian oppressors. For instance: the phrase "mighty hand and outstretched arm," which the Torah uses to describe God's miraculous deeds, appears hundreds of times in the royal inscriptions of the Egyptian New Kingdom, applied to the pharaoh himself. The Torah doesn't just recount the Hebrew slaves' deliverance from Egypt. The Torah took Egyptian language, Egyptian symbols, and even Egypt's greatest military triumph, and turned it all inside out. This is the argument that the Bar-Ilan University Bible professor Joshua Berman has been developing for years, including in the pages of Mosaic. And that insight now resides at the center of his new Haggadah, lavishly illustrated with hieroglyphics, photos, and sketches that situate the Passover seder in the historical setting from which the Hebrew slaves escaped. Rabbi Berman joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss the book, and the argument that underlies it.

Seeing Through Anguish of Spirit by Autumn Dickson In our last post, we talked about how Moses turned to the Lord in despair. He had done what the Lord asked and told Pharaoh to free the Israelites. In response, Pharaoh gave them more work. Moses blamed himself and asked the Lord why He had been so cruel to His own people. In chapter 6, we get to read the Lord's response to Moses. He comforts Moses with assurances. He tells Moses that it's not over; Pharaoh will relent, and the Israelites will yet be free. The Lord then tells Moses to go and share this with the Israelites. Moses does so, and this is how the Israelites respond. Exodus 6:9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. The Israelites were suffering so much that they had a difficult time believing that Moses would deliver them. There is a lot of depth here. Let's cover the first beautiful principle: The Lord saved them anyway. The Lord still kept sending Moses back. He kept sending miracles. He kept reaching out to those in bondage. He kept shining a light on them. Despite their lack of belief (which disbelief continues on even after the miracle of parting the Red Sea), the Lord kept reaching. He kept moving forward in saving them. There are two parallels here. Parallel one: The Savior suffered for all of us, not just the people He knew would accept His atonement. He didn't look at each of us ahead of time and decide to only suffer for the people who were going to accept the saving. He suffered for everyone. Even those who did not or would not believe. Parallel two: The Lord doesn't wash His hands of us. Even when we wash our hands of Him (which is rather ironic), He doesn't throw us over. When He steps back, it's not due to annoyance or giving up. Stepping back is also one of the ways He reaches for us and tries to get us to see the truth of things. The Israelites get a pretty bad rap throughout the Old Testament. They turn from the Lord frequently. They get distracted. They get the doctrine wrong and miss the mark. They were also slaves. Their “cruel bondage” led to “anguish of spirit.” I'm not sure I would have fared much better had I been placed in their shoes. I think that's partially why the Lord didn't throw them off with the golden calf incident after showing them an incredible miracle with the Red Sea. The Lord knew what they were facing and what they were truly capable of. As a society, the Israelites didn't know who they were anymore. They didn't know the Lord or His goodness. Because of what they had been through, they didn't have any sense that there was an all-powerful Being who might care for them and care about where they ended up. They had a long way to go, and it started right here. They couldn't find it within themselves to hope for deliverance through Moses, and so it started with the Lord sending miracles anyway. Here is the second beautiful principle. Their salvation was standing right in front of them even if they couldn't see it. They were so broken that they couldn't see their salvation. No judgment. I'm sure I would have been in a similar place had I been a slave. And yet, there is an implication for us here. At what point have we reached “salvation?” When do we get to say, “I'm here. I've arrived. I'm saved.”? I'm not sure there is a definitive level where you get to state that you're saved. I think there are varying levels of salvation. Let's talk about some of those different points of salvation. Salvation 1: The Savior promised He was coming. The people don't know it. This is where we're at in the Old Testament. Moses, their deliverer, is standing in front of them. He has been foreordained to save them, but they don't know it. They're too lost to feel it. Interestingly enough, despite the fact that Moses technically hasn't saved them yet, it's as good as done when it comes to the Lord. If He has promised it, it's as good as if it's done, and so yes, this is a type of salvation. The Israelites are saved! Moses is here! Even if they don't see it, they're saved. Salvation 2: The Savior promised He was coming, and there are people who do know it. This is the next level, and we see this in The Book of Mormon. The Savior promised He was coming and would save; there are people who believed that so thoroughly that they acted as though He had already come. They believed so thoroughly in His ability to fulfill His promises, that it was as good as done, and they rejoiced. Salvation 3: The Savior came and did His work, but the people don't know it yet. We see this all the time. This is as if Moses had opened the gates of Egypt, and there were people too busy slaving away for masters who no longer stood over them that they missed it. The Savior has come, but there are many who don't know it. This happens in the church and out of it. Even when we've been baptized and follow the commandments, sometimes we still don't understand that we've been saved. Salvation 4: The Savior came and did His work, and the people know it. This one is self-explanatory. The Lord won, and we know it. This is the ultimate form of salvation. I bring this up because there are two sides to the coin of salvation. There is the portion with Christ. There was a period of time before He came where His salvation was still a promise. That promise was as good as though it had already been done. When it comes to this side of the coin, we were always saved. But then there is the other side of the coin. Is salvation really salvation if we can't enjoy it? Have we truly been saved if we're still miserable because we don't trust Him or because or our actions? It takes a long time for the Israelites to truly be saved. They make it out of Egypt, but they have not yet reached joy. They don't know that the Lord is going to take care of them and lead them to that promised land. In that sense, salvation is a spectrum. And let's bring that full circle. The Israelites didn't yet believe. They were in so much despair that they couldn't bring themselves to believe. The Savior was going to keep sending miracles until they could see it. He paid for the salvation, and then He continues to reach out on top of it. He reaches and reaches until we finally see that the gates have been unlocked. Where are you on the spectrum of salvation? The Savior has saved you. Do you see it? Do you see Him ready to lead you out of Egypt? Let Him heal the brokeness from the slavery. Let Him provide for you in the wilderness. Believe in His salvation so much that it's as if you're already in the promised land. I testify that the Savior's promises are solid. They are coming. We don't have to live in despair even now because we have been taught what comes next. Even in our darkest moments (because dark moments aren't evil), there is hope to temper it. We can rejoice. And if we're still getting run over by life and can't seem to lift up our heads and believe it, then hang tight. The Lord is sending miracles anyway until we do see it.

Send us Fan MailFinding Inner Freedom on Pesach: Rabbi YY Jacobson on Shame, Surrender & Redemptive ConsciousnessIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Rabbi YY Jacobson to discuss why many people lack inner freedom even in good external conditions, emphasizing that freedom requires disciplined inner work: noticing one's “Egypt,” pausing before reacting, cultivating curiosity, prayer, support systems, and being truly seen. Jacobson explores destructive vs. holy shame, Tanya's model of distinguishing animal and divine consciousness, surrendering control to God without surrendering to abuse, and experiencing embodied oneness as redemptive consciousness. He also contrasts revealed and hidden miracles (Pesach vs. Purim), reflects on current events and collective resilience, and highlights softening the heart, authenticity, and non-transactional relationships.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  Their Pushka (Charity Box) App makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

Have you ever asked God for one thing and you feel like you got something totally different? Jesus tells us, “ask and you will receive”, but maybe you're not so sure that applies to you because you haven't gotten what you've asked for. Yes, girl, ask. He wants you to ask. He answers every time you ask – it just might not look like what you thought it would. The Israelites were hungry in the desert and they asked God to supply their needs and give them food to eat. AND GET THIS – The next day they woke up to manna!!!! We know manna as this miraculous bread directly from God which sustained the Israelites where there was nothing else to eat. But let me tell you, THIS WAS NOT WHAT THEY WERE EXPECTING. Exodus 16: 13-15 “The next morning the area around the camp was wet with dew. When the dew evaporated, a flaky substance as fine as frost blanketed the ground. The Israelites were puzzled when they saw it. ‘What is it?’ They asked each other. They had no idea what it was. And Moses told them, ‘It is the food the Lord has given you to eat.” I propose they woke up that morning and saw this white dewy, sticky substance all over the desert ground and they really said “What in the world is THIS?” I don't know, maybe they were expecting Sarah Lee herself to appear at sunrise baking her fresh loaves of bread, but this … this is not what they were expecting. What is this and what am I supposed to do with it? Understand, nothing like this dewy, flaky substance had ever been seen before. This was totally new to them. And quite honestly, it didn't look like the miracle they were expecting of the God they were counting on for survival. And this is why they called it manna. Manna literally means “What is it?” For real, that's the defintion of manna – what is it? And if you don't know what it is, you certainly don't know what to do with it. The Israelites expected food they recognized. God gave them something they had to learn HOW to use. Sometimes the reason we miss God's provision is because it doesn't match our expectations. We expect things to look a certain way, but God works in the unexpected. You can't figure him out. You can't predict him. Your God is continually going to show up in ways that surprise you. And honestly, sometimes it's initially a disappointing surprise. A question of, really, what is this? What do I do with this now? Can you see how what God has given you is provision, even if it doesn't look like the “bread” you were expecting? The confusion you currently feel is the first stage of revelation to God's answer. In the beginning, you're asking, “Why did this relationship end?” – later you see God's protection in it. In the beginning you're asking, “Why did I lose that job?” – later you see God's great redirection. In the beginning you're asking, “Why did this happen to me?” – later you see God's preparation for something better he had for you next. Just because you don't understand it doesn’t mean God isn't in it. The Israelites didn't understand this bizarre looking substance all over the ground that morning, but it was still their miracle. Now it was time to learn what to do with their miracle. And my friend, if you've asked God to show up for you, he has … maybe you just don't understand what he is doing. It's time to learn what to do with the minunderstood miracle he has given you. In studying manna, this miraculous bread from Heaven that appeared on the desert ground each morning, I've learned the most practical and applicable lessons for exactly where we find ourselves today. Lessons on what to do with God's answers that you don't understand. It is believed that this manna was like a coriander seed covered in dew. Not loaves of bread, but a seed which could become something. Not a seed to be planted, but a seed to be ground. When worked, when crushed by hand, when grinded out, this substance miraculously covering the desert floor each morning became much like wheat and could be used to make bread. It wasn't what they expected and they didn't recognize its potential because IT HAD TO BE WORKED. They prayed for bread and they got something they could USE TO MAKE bread. God didn't drop baked loaves into their hands. They had to go out each morning, they had to gather this strange substance from the ground, then they had to prepare it. Now remember, they're in the middle of the desert where nothing grows or flows. This is literally a life-saving miracle. This was bizarre and beautiful. But it was only bizarre until they worked with it – then it became beautiful. I don't know what bizarre thing you might be facing right now, but maybe this is God's answer to your prayers, but some effort is required from you now to see it as beautiful. You have to get out there and gather this up. You've got to grind this out. You've got to work with this. And when you do, it will become exactly what you truly need. What if the very thing you've been confused about… The thing you've been questioning … The thing you've been overlooking … IS ACTUALLY YOUR MANNA?!!!! What if you've been asking God for bread, and he's been faithfully covering the ground in front of you every morning and you just keep walking past it because you don't recognize it. Well, my friend, you'll never recognize it for what it could be if you don't work with what God has given you! If you've asked God, he has heard you and he is moving on your behalf – just perhaps not in a way you recognize. But it's here. Can you see it? What will you do with it?
