“God On Trial”Exodus 17:1-7 [ESV]1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” 3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” 4 So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 5 And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Proverbs 29:18 reminds us that without divine revelation, people live without restraint — doing what is right in their own eyes rather than following God's direction. We explore how our sinful nature often distorts our spiritual vision, leading us away from faith and into self-centered living. Pastor Jay emphasizes the urgency of the Great Commission, the calling to "go and make disciples," empowered by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from the parable of the talents, we are reminded that each of us will one day stand before Christ's judgment seat to account for how we stewarded the life and mission He entrusted to us. Are we living for our own plans, or are we fully invested in God's mission? Pastor Jay challenges us to examine our hearts, get ourselves out of the way, and commit fully to the eternal work of making disciples — the true evidence of a church living with vision.

Pastor Jay resumed our series on The Minor Prophets today with an exploration of the book of Joel. Covering all three chapters, we see how God used Joel to bring judgment to Israel but that this judgment was not without an option of escape and capacity for hope.
In today's message, Pastor Jay concluded the Easter theme with a reflection on being a "Walking Masterpiece," based on Ephesians 2:10, highlighting that we are God's workmanship created for good works. He emphasized that our identity in Christ transforms us into a masterpiece, countering cultural narratives that suggest we are created by chance without purpose. The sermon outlined key actions that reflect this identity, such as making disciples, reconciling others to God, living at peace, restoring fellow believers, and sharing hope. Ultimately, Pastor underscored that true transformation in our lives naturally leads to these good works, as they stem from our relationship with Jesus.

Then, with a mind of their own, his lips parted, and he croaked out a no! "Yeah, she's right," a member of the opposing team stated. I'm sure I've seen you at the stations with the other goodie two shoes," he smirked. Pete felt his face grown hot as more eyes turned to watch him. "I don't know them," Pete growled. "Yeah, I've seen you, plus you talk and act differently. ," someone Pete wasn't sure he'd seen agreed. Pete couldn't take it. He felt humiliated. Suddenly, like something out of a nightmare, Pete heard words come out of his mouth. He didn't even realise he knew.

This passage invites us to reflect on our own tendency to turn away from God when following Him becomes difficult.
In order to experience the supernatural, we need to surrender the natural.

Each morning, we take time to pray for wayward children, those that at one time, made a genuine confession of faith in Jesus Christ and repentance from sin. For whatever reason, they have chosen not to return to Him.

“Making Bricks Without Straw”Exodus 5:1-6:13 [ESV]5:1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'” 2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” 3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” 4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your burdens.” 5 And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many,[a] and you make them rest from their burdens!” 6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen, 7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God.' 9 Let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to lying words.”10 So the taskmasters and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I will not give you straw. 11 Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced in the least.'” 12 So the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 13 The taskmasters were urgent, saying, “Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.” 14 And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”15 Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, “Why do you treat your servants like this? 16 No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!' And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.” 17 But he said, “You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.' 18 Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.” 19 The foremen of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said, “You shall by no means reduce your number of bricks, your daily task each day.” 20 They met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh; 21 and they said to them, “The Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”22 Then Moses turned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”6:1 But the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will doCONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Return to EgyptExodus 3:9-4:17 [ESV]18 Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.” 19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.” 20 So Moses took his wife and his sons and had them ride on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.21 And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.'”24 At a lodging place on the way the Lord met him and sought to put him to death. 25 Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses'[a] feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!” 26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all the signs that he had commanded him to do. 29 Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. 30 Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31 And the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Reverend Jay Hardwick, senior pastor of Forest Hills Baptist Church and president of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, returns for Part 2 of our discussion on the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). We discuss how Southern Baptists work together through church planting, missionary efforts, and theological education. The cooperative generosity of SBC churches has fueled missions across North America and around the world, supporting thousands of church planters, seminary students, and global missionaries.If you missed Part 1 of our conversation, be sure to go back and listen to episode 228.Here's What We Discussed00:00 The North American Mission Board (NAMB)SBC has long been dedicated to evangelizing the world, supporting missions both locally and globally. Pastor Jeff and Pastor Jay discuss the role of NAMB in supporting church planting, evangelism, and strengthening churches across North America. The SEND Network has helped Southern Baptists focus on major cities, training new church planters and ensuring they have the support they need to succeed.03:26 The Cooperative Program – Fueling MissionsThe Cooperative Program is the financial backbone of SBC missions. Rather than requiring churches to contribute a fixed percentage, churches voluntarily participate, pooling resources to fund seminaries, missionaries, and outreach efforts.07:12 The International Mission Board (IMB)The SBC is home to the world's largest missionary-sending agency, the International Mission Board. With over 3,700 missionaries actively serving and more than 1,200 in training, the IMB ensures that Southern Baptists continue their global outreach, reaching unreached people groups and supporting international church planting.10:35 The Role of Special OfferingsTwo major annual offerings—Lottie Moon (Christmas) and Annie Armstrong (Easter)—provide additional direct-to-field support for missionaries and church planters. Pastor Jay highlights how these offerings have reached record-breaking contributions in recent years.12:52 Southern Baptist Seminaries and Theological EducationWith six world-class seminaries, the SBC provides theological education at a significantly reduced cost for students from SBC churches. Pastor Jay shares how this investment in education is raising up the next generation of pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders.16:15 Stewarding the Future of the SBCFrom growing up in a Southern Baptist church to serving as a pastor and convention leader, Pastor Jay has had a long history with SBC continuing the mission while also recognizing the SBC's challenges and opportunities for growth.Connect with Reverend Jay HardwickTwitter:https://x.com/jayhardwickInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayhardwick/Forest Hills Baptist Church - https://www.fhbc.orgJoin the ConversationWe love your feedback!

We conclude our winter camp of "New Beginnings" by looking at where many of the Sr Highers have been for the past six months - in a new season. Pastor Jay highlights that this is an all-important phase of walking with God and we need to continue to embrace the new things that God does as we grow.
What's the next step after being a new creature? The realization that your whole world has changed. We are not to be like the world, but rather we are to stand in the gap in order to be used by God.
"Are you supernatural or not?" This is the foundational question to kick off our Winter Camp theme of "New Beginnings". Is there evidence that suggests you are a new creature?
