On this episode, Paul White talks about faith and the parting of the Red Sea. Accompanying scripture: Hebrews 11:29. 

In the kickoff to our Miracles Series, we explore two of the Bible's most jaw-dropping events — the parting of the Red Sea and the fall of Jericho's walls. In both stories, God gave instructions that seemed unusual, even impossible, yet His people experienced incredible deliverance when they obeyed in faith. What can these miracles teach us about trusting God when His ways don't always make sense?

Before Israel ever faced the Red Sea, God made His presence and leadership unmistakable. In the wilderness, a pillar of cloud guided them by day and a pillar of fire by night—an unmissable reminder that they weren't navigating life alone. The cloud didn't give them a full map, just the next step. Sometimes it stayed for a day, sometimes for months, but Israel moved only when God moved. In our own lives, we often want the entire plan upfront, yet God calls us to follow His presence one step at a time. Letting God take the lead means trading the security of our own schedule for the security of His presence, even when it disrupts our plans Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

Sunday Morning Message - "Open the Heavens: Positioned for God's Presence"In this message from August 17, Pastor Kyle begins at the powerful moment of Jesus' baptism in Luke 3:21-22, explaining how it symbolizes our call to obedience and an intimate relationship with God. Emphasizing the importance of baptism as a significant step in our spiritual journey, he draws parallels between this sacred act and the historical movements of God, such as Israel's exodus through the Red Sea and the early church's rapid growth. He highlights the necessity of prayer as modeled by Jesus, illustrating how prayer cultivates a relationship with God and invites His presence into our lives. By examining Jesus' prayerful life and the open heavens experienced at His baptism, the sermon encourages believers to seek the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, positioning themselves for divine encounters and revival.

Only a person who is willfully blind could deny that miracles happen today. They didn't end at the shore of the Red Sea. Malachi 3:6 says, “I the Lord do not change.” From this, we can logically see that the Bible's powerful and majestic miracles didn't stop in the first century. They're still happening. God didn't suspend the love He dispenses in the form of miracles. Taylor McCaffrey was an alcoholic as a teenager. He was also a preacher's kid, and these combined to weigh him down with guilt. From the age of 16, he drank heavily, but God didn't leave him there. He says, “On my 21st birthday, I'd been drinking about eight hours straight and simply heard the voice of the Holy Spirit inside me say, ‘Either do what I've called you to or I will not continue wrestling you.'”It sounded so stern. However, so loving, “I was instantly sober.” And that was several years ago. Today, Taylor is still sober. There are also countless examples of what we might call ‘corporate' miracles—those that bless whole communities. At Christmas time of 2004, a group of 400 believers wanted to hold a Christmas service. The local authorities, though, told them that they could not do that in the city of Meulaboh in North Sumatra. The 400 decided to hold their service in a remote mountain region, and they stayed overnight. Early next morning, an earthquake and resulting tsunami flattened their city, but they were safe in the higher elevations. Had they opted not to worship Jesus during their holiday, they would have perished.The fact is, our world is miracle-heavy. They happen all the time. Miracles happen to ordinary people and to whole nations every day. This is one of the clearest evidences of the power and the majesty of the living God. We can choose to be witnesses for Him by pointing out to everyone we come in contact with that though our world has problems, God is still working in a mighty way.Let's pray. Father God, thank you. The example of miracles. They give us strength in our faith and a boost to our days. We're forever grateful to you for routinely doing things that some say cannot happen. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

The Arizona Cardinals play the Denver Broncos in their second preseason matchup Saturday night after a joint practice with them on Thursday. In this edition of the show, Jess and Seth talk about it. They discuss the starters not playing, what Calais Campbell said about maybe retiring after the season, what to watch for with the Cardinals' backups, and then they talked about Budda Baker making the NFL Top 100 again. 

Send us a textThe question reverberates through Christian history: Why would a sinless Savior need baptism? Mitchell tackles this profound theological mystery with clarity and depth in this illuminating episode of the Pure Faith Podcast.Diving into the baptism of Jesus recorded in Matthew 3:13-17, Mitchell unpacks three compelling reasons behind this pivotal moment. First, it marked the official launch of Jesus's public ministry at age 30, when Jewish tradition allowed him to formally take on disciples as a rabbi. While Jesus had been discussing Scripture since childhood (as seen during his temple visit at age 12), this moment represented his official step into public teaching.Second, this sacred moment created the divine stage for the Holy Spirit's descent and God's thunderous proclamation: "This is my Son, with whom I am well pleased." This heavenly endorsement announced Jesus's identity to all present—and perhaps even alerted dark forces to the Messiah's arrival, though they couldn't comprehend how his eventual death would fulfill God's redemptive plan.Most poignantly, Jesus's baptism demonstrated his willingness to identify with sinners despite his own sinlessness. This wasn't about elevating humanity to his level but about Jesus descending to ours—the first step in his journey toward taking on our sin at Calvary. Mitchell brilliantly connects this to baptism's consistent biblical meaning of death, burial, and resurrection, tracing this pattern through Noah's flood, the Red Sea crossing, and the Jordan River.Mitchell closes with powerful personal insights, sharing his own adult baptism story despite being baptized as an infant, and urging believers not to delay baptism until they've "cleaned up their lives." The message resonates with both new and seasoned believers: just as Jesus began his ministry with baptism, so should we begin our faith journey—not after achieving perfection, but precisely because we need the transformative power baptism represents.Support the showSupport our ministryCheck us out at purefaithliving.comContact us at purefaithliving.com/contactFollow us on twitter @purefaithlivingFollow us on Facebook at Pure Faith Podcast

The Cardinals had their first preseason game of the year against the Chiefs. Jess and Seth break things down talking about the starters' performance, who stood out, who did not and who got hurt. 

Hebrews 11:17a, 19a, 20-21a, 23a, 24-25a, 29a, 12:1-3 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac …. He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead …. By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph …. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents …. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God …. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land …. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

The Cardinals are back at it after beating the Chiefs 20-17 in their preseason opener. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi, and Rob Fredrickson talk about what they learned from the game and which players might make it harder for coaches to decide who stays on the final 53-man roster. They also break down Kyler Murray's performance, how rookie guard Isaiah Adams is making the most of his chances, and the return of veteran guard Will Hernandez. Plus, they look at the young, athletic secondary and what the team can gain from this week's joint practice with the Broncos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part of God's unchanging nature is that He is sovereign and does things His way. In Isaiah 55, we read that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. In other words, He's infinitely more powerful than we are, especially when it comes to perspective.  We read in the Old Testament that sometimes other nations mocked the Israelites when they were exiled from their homeland. Really, they were mocking God because it was said that maybe He couldn't keep His promises. After all this, after the Assyrians and Babylonians conquered Israel, neighboring pagan nations remembered that God had promised to give the land to the Israelites. But did that mean God had lied, and was in reality no more powerful than man? No, not at all.                                                 Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” In fact, God tells us clearly that He does exactly what He wants, when He wants. We see this in Isaiah 46. When God led the Israelites out of Egypt, but they were then confronted at the Red Sea by Pharaoh's army—did that mean God had lied when He promised to lead them out of slavery? Of course not. In fact, it was then He performed one of history's greatest miracles. In Psalm 16:10, we read that God would not allow your holy one to rot in the grave, and this is a reference to Jesus. Yet, when Jesus died on the cross, many assumed that God had either lied or was powerless to stop Jesus from being entombed. We know how that story ended, and the triumph of life over death. God did raise Jesus from the dead. His body did not decay in the grave. So, it's a matter of perspective, then. Humans, with their limited understanding, think from time to time that God cannot keep His promises, but He keeps them all the time. All promises fulfilled—100% of the time. He cannot lie. Let's pray. Father God, you alone are powerful and you are our strength. You are perfect in all of your ways and have demonstrated that time after time. Help us let others see that—those who might doubt you. In Jesus' name, amen.  Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

# Miracles Week 11: The Power, Passion, and Purpose of Jesus In the final sermon of our series on miracles, we explore the profound significance of two pivotal miracles in the Bible: the Exodus and the raising of Lazarus from the dead. These events are examined through the lens of three benchmarks: **Power**, **Passion**, and **Purpose**. ## The Miracle of the Exodus - **Power**: The Exodus is a testament to God's almighty power. Only the Almighty could part the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape Egyptian bondage on dry ground. - **Passion**: This miracle reveals God's passion for freedom. He heard the cries of the Israelites and delivered them from slavery, demonstrating His deep care for His people. - **Purpose**: God's purpose was to lead His people to a land of peace and harmony, a vision for mankind that highlights His intent for human flourishing. ## The Miracle of Raising Lazarus Our focus shifts to the New Testament and the miracle of raising Lazarus, recorded in **John 11**. - **Background**: Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus, falls gravely ill. His sisters, Mary and Martha, send for Jesus, hoping for a miracle. However, Jesus delays His visit until Lazarus is dead, setting the stage for a profound demonstration of His power. - **Power**: Jesus' ability to raise Lazarus after four days in the tomb is a powerful testament to His mastery over death. This miracle shows that Jesus' power extends beyond healing to resurrecting life itself. - **Passion**: Jesus weeps at Lazarus' tomb, illustrating His deep sorrow over the effects of sin and death on humanity. His tears reflect His compassion and His mission to overcome the devastation caused by sin. - **Purpose**: The raising of Lazarus reveals Jesus as the "resurrection and the life" (**John 11:25**). It underscores the hope and victory over death that Jesus offers to all who believe in Him. ## The Role of the Believers An often overlooked aspect of this miracle is the involvement of the community. After Lazarus emerges from the tomb, Jesus instructs those present to "take off the grave clothes and let him go" (**John 11:44**). This act symbolizes the role of the community in helping individuals shed the remnants of their old life and embrace the new life Jesus offers. - **Community Involvement**: Just as Lazarus needed help to remove his grave clothes, believers today need the support of the church community to overcome the "grave clothes" of sin and old habits. - **Privilege and Responsibility**: Participating in another's journey to freedom is a significant privilege and responsibility for believers. It is a call to actively engage in the work of healing and transformation within the community. ## Conclusion The miracles of the Exodus and the raising of Lazarus highlight God's immense power, His compassionate heart, and His divine purpose for humanity. They remind us that through faith in Jesus, we can experience new life and freedom from the bondage of sin. As believers, we are called to support one another in this journey, helping each other to fully embrace the abundant life that Jesus offers. These miracles are not just historical events; they are living testimonies of God's enduring power and love, inviting us to participate in His redemptive work today.

Exodus 13:17-2217 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.”20 After leaving Sukkoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. 21 By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

Sometimes we find ourselves needing something from God. Sometimes he responds quickly, and other times he is silent. We struggle with those times when we do not hear from Him. In these quiet times, it is easy to miss the blessings that God has provided as we long for the answer to our need. He does the big things, but He also does the small things that sustain us. God can work immediately, or it may take 20 years to get the answer we want. For Abraham and Sarah, it was 100 years before they saw their miracle. No matter the timing, God is always on time. But when God speaks, things happen. When He speaks, worlds come into existence, people rise from the dead, or the Red Sea parts. The first chapter of Genesis has "God said…and it was so" ten times. Sometimes God speaks to us, other times he speaks through things around us, like a burning bush or a donkey. In Mark 4, Jesus is asleep in the rear of the ship during a great storm. The disciples woke Him in a panic. Jesus did not speak to them at first; He spoke to the great storm, and what followed was a great peace. Just because He is not speaking directly to you does not mean that he is not speaking for you. After running from God, Jonah finds himself in the belly of a great fish. God had a plan. As bad as being in the fish's belly was, it was better than drowning after being thrown overboard. The situation we are in may be bad, but it might be part of something bigger God is doing. If there was ever a time Jonah needed a word from God, it was in this situation, but God did not speak to him. He spoke to the fish. In the time of our most desperate need, God may be speaking to someone else on our behalf. At our worst time, God may be talking to the storm. God has appointed something great.

Pastor Dru Rodriguez recounts the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14, emphasizing God's protective presence that leads His people through chaos. He encourages trust in God's guidance even when threats press from every side.

With Saudi recognition of Israel off the table, pro-Israeli and Israeli pundits and far-right and conservative pro-Israel groups in the United States are pushing the kingdom to become an aggressive regional player in Israel's mould. The pundits and groups want Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to abandon his de-escalation policy, including the kingdom's fragile freezing of its differences with Iran, and to reignite his ill-fated 2015 military campaign against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen that sparked one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Proponents of a Saudi Arabia, that like Israel would impose its will with military force, believe that a more assertive kingdom would allow Israel to outsource its fight with the Houthis, revive the notion of an Israeli-Gulf anti-Iran and anti-Turkey alliance, help Saudi Arabia resolve differences with the United Arab Emirates, Israel's best Arab friend, and potentially give the possibility of Saudi recognition of Israel and a key role in post-war Gaza a new lease on life. To garner support among US administration hawks and President Donald J. Trump's isolationist Make America Great Again (MAGA) support base, the pundits and conservative think tanks argue that Saudi Arabia's de-escalation policy and informal ceasefire with the Houthis have enabled rebel missile attacks against Israel and US naval vessels and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

In this episode, Brian takes us into a deep dive into the true significance of God's victory at the Red Sea.

Today we're answering the question, “How does nature teach us about the seasons?" I get to talk with my new friend, Rachel G. Jordan. She is a marine biologist and spiritual guide and using the ocean as a lens, she points us to the way God is revealed in biology AND IT IS SO COOL. We're talking about the coral reef, all that we don't know about the ocean, the intelligence of sea creatures, and you're not even ready for the insight she has about Moses crossing the Red Sea. I'm telling you, mind blowing. Rachel has a new book out called If The Ocean Has a Soul, so when this came across my desk you know I was all in. *I also want to note that we had some tech issues in the middle of recording this, so we picked back up on another day because we HAD to finish this conversation* So if you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 83.

The Israeli prime minister is reportedly planning to expand military operations in Gaza. It comes as hundreds of retired Israeli security officials have written to President Trump, urging him to pressurise their government to end the war. They say Hamas is no longer a threat and the war is no longer just. We speak to one of signatories of the letter Ami Ayalon, a former director of Shin Bet, Israel's domestic secret service agency.Also in the programme: More than 70 migrants have died in a shipwreck in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen; why Texan Democrats are running away from a vote; and Sir David Attenborough's latest BBC One series documents how parents from across the animal kingdom sacrifice everything in order to raise their young.(Photo: Protest outside Israeli PM Netanyahu's office in Jerusalem.

Today also marks the final week of our summer series, Reads a Classic, where we've reflected on the wisdom of enduring voices in the Christian tradition.

And today, Jeremy explores the profound legacy of Walter Brueggemann, who passed away just weeks ago.As one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of our time, Brueggemann taught us how to read the scriptures not just for what they say, but for what they imagine—how they invite us to resist empires, lament honestly, and hope boldly.In this teaching, we explore:

Comparison is the thief of _____________ and the destroyer of ___________________________.[Psalm 73:1-5] A psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure. [2] But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. [3] For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. [4] They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong. [5] They don't have troubles like other people; they're not plagued with problems like everyone else.Comparison will _______________ your ______________________.[Psalm 73:13-14] Did I keep my heart pure for nothing?

Welcome to Day 2687 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomDay 2687 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 78:56-72 – Daily WisdomWisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2687Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2687 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.Today's Wisdom Nugget is titled: The Heart's Persistent Wanderings – From Abandonment to the Shepherd-King - Concluding Our Trek Through Psalm 78:56-72Guthrie Chamberlain: Welcome back to Wisdom-Trek, your compass for navigating the profound landscapes of faith and life. I'm your guide, Guthrie Chamberlain, and today, we reach the poignant and pivotal conclusion of our extensive trek through Psalm 78 in the New Living Translation, encompassing its final verses, 56 through 72.In our journey through this monumental didactic psalm, Asaph, the psalmist, has meticulously recounted Israel's history. We've seen their early failures, their ungrateful rebellion in the wilderness despite God's astounding miracles—from the splitting of the Red Sea to the daily manna and water from rocks. We also explored God's righteous judgment for their persistent unbelief, even as His enduring compassion spared them from complete annihilation. We watched as God faithfully led them into the Promised Land, driving out nations and settling them securely in their inheritance.Now, as we delve into this final segment, the story unfolds into a new phase of Israel's unfaithfulness, occurring after they had entered and settled the Promised Land. This leads to profound divine judgment: God's abandonment of His dwelling place at Shiloh and His subsequent, sovereign choice of Mount Zion and the Davidic dynasty. This narrative culminates in the powerful affirmation of David as the shepherd-king, foreshadowing the ultimate Shepherd-King, Jesus Christ.This section explains a critical shift in God's dealings with Israel, shedding light on the reasons behind the establishment of Jerusalem as the spiritual center and the unique covenant with David. It's a sobering reminder of the consequences of persistent unfaithfulness, but also a beautiful testament to God's ultimate plan and His ability to choose and raise up faithful leaders.So, let's lean in and absorb the final, crucial lessons from Israel's history of wandering hearts and God's sovereign direction.(Reads Psalm 78:56-64 NLT)But they continued to test and rebel against God Most High,refusing to obey his decrees.They turned away and were disloyal like their ancestors;they were as unreliable as a crooked bow.They angered him by building pagan shrines;they made him furious with their idols.When God heard them, he was furiousand completely rejected Israel.He abandoned his Tabernacle at Shiloh,the tent where he had lived among them.He allowed their Ark of the Covenant—his glory—to be captured;he surrendered his people to their enemies.He sent fire to consume their young menand caused their young women to die in battle.Their priests were slaughtered by the sword,and their widows could not mourn.Guthrie Chamberlain: Asaph brings the historical lesson into the period after the conquest of Canaan, demonstrating that entering the Promised Land did not end Israel's cycle of rebellion: "But they continued to test and rebel against God Most High, refusing to obey his decrees." The persistent nature of their sin, already...

What happens when you've done all you can—and it still isn't enough? In this first message from the Elisha: Living the Impossible Life series, Stephen Davey teaches from 2 Kings 2 and 4 to show how God moves when His people are out of options. You'll learn how Elisha responded when his hands were tied, facing crises that demanded divine help. From poisoned waters in Jericho to a desperate widow's cry, every story begins in human weakness and ends in God's power. Stephen also turns to Exodus 14 to show how the Israelites responded when they were trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea—reminding you that your natural instincts of panic, blame, and despair must be replaced with confidence in God's wisdom and timing. You'll discover three key applications: predicaments develop trust, trust leads to seeing God's power, and God's power always results in praise. When your plans fall apart, you're not forgotten. You're being invited to experience the faithfulness of God in a deeper way. This episode will help you shift your mindset from panic to peace, from striving to surrender. Because when your hands are tied, your heart can still triumph.

My friend, Larry, was a pilot. And awhile back he was asked by a client to fly their corporate, cabin class plane from one metropolitan area airport to another. That flight should take about 15 minutes, and he thought, "Well, I could do that." His only commitment was several hours later to lead prayer meeting at his church that night, so he felt like there was plenty of time to get that job done. He was preparing to land at the airport, and as he looked at all of his controls, he noticed that five different indicators had gone on...all telling him that his front landing gear wasn't down. Well, he called the tower at the airport, and they said, "Well, why don't you fly by and we'll take a look at it." And they confirmed sure enough he didn't have any front landing gear. So he made a second approach, worked with the switches and controls, and hoped that would work. But no, he had to report to the tower all the lights are still on; five indicators saying he didn't have any front landing gear going down. He requested to be able to go back to his home airport, and as he did he was flipping his switches back and forth. Nothing was happening. He tried several aerial maneuvers to shake it loose and that didn't work. He called for his mechanics to be able to communicate through the tower and read slowly to him from the manual for his plane. He tried everything the manual said. Nothing worked! Now, he had three hours of fuel when he started, but he was running low now. So he went up to a level where he could put it on automatic pilot. It was dark, it was starting to snow now, and he thought, "Should I let my wife know about this?" He said, "Well, there's really no reason to alarm her." He looked for tools while it was on automatic pilot and he worked with those. Again, nothing worked, including nothing his mechanics read to him from the manual. He had ten minutes of fuel left. He thought, "Man, this is going to be $400,000 if I crash land. Oh yeah, and I don't know about me." He was low on fuel, hoping there would be no fire, so he began to prepare for the crash landing. He secured all the loose items, pulled the fire extinguisher pin in case there was a fire, harnessed himself in, and made the approach for his landing. All the indicator lights still on, his landing gear still not down and what happened next is what might happen just before you are about to crash. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Our Eleventh-Hour Lord." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Exodus 14:9. The Jews are at the Red Sea, and it says, "The Egyptians, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots, horsemen and troops pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they encamped by the sea." Okay, we're in a big jam here, right? But it says, "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong East wind." You've got the Red Sea behind you, the enemy closing in. And then, just at that last moment, the waters parted. Oh yeah, about Larry, my pilot friend, we left him preparing for a crash landing. Nothing had worked - flipping switches, maneuvering, manuals, waiting. And so, as he made that approach, he simply said, "Lord, I need a miracle." He threw that switch one more time. He'd thrown it hundreds of times, and this time every light indicating trouble with his landing gear went off. He said, "I'm coming in! I've got full gear." They said, "Fly by" in the tower. He did. They turned the high light beams on. They said, "Hey, your landing gear is down!" He said, "I know." And he landed safely. The crowd said, "What happened?" He said, "A miracle of God." Oh, and he made it to his prayer meeting, too. Larry experienced it, Moses and the Israelites did, and maybe you will right now - our eleventh-hour Lord. He often comes through at the very last moment. There's never any doubt that He will, but it's that waiting that makes you wonder. Why? So we'll get to the end of our resources; so He can grow your faith like a muscle by stretching it. So He can demonstrate His power in a way where only God could get the glory. And so He can dramatically show His love to you. Maybe you've got your back to the Red Sea, the enemy's closing in and every solution has failed. Why don't you surrender completely to your Savior right now and cry out to Him, "Lord, I need a miracle." And you will be a candidate for that eleventh-hour Lord.

Israel thought Egypt was behind them—until they hit a dead end at the Red Sea. When we're trapped between fear and faith, it's easy to think God has abandoned us. But even when we feel lost or stuck, God is preparing to move in ways we can't yet see. This week helps normalize fear and uncertainty as part of the journey, not signs of failure.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Corinthians 10Israel's history serves as a cautionary tale for Christians. Despite experiencing God's blessings and deliverance, many Israelites fell into idolatry and immorality, leading to judgment. Paul urges the Corinthians to avoid similar pitfalls, warning against overconfidence and reminding them that no temptation is beyond God's help. He promises that God will provide a way of escape in every trial. Believers are encouraged to be mindful of their choices, particularly concerning eating food sacrificed to idols, and prioritizing the spiritual needs of others. Convictions of conscience hold great importance to God, and Christians must honor their own while also being considerate of others. Ultimately, Paul calls on them to do everything for God's glory, avoiding offense and seeking to build up others in faith through the demonstration of Christ's selfless love.Just as Israel crossed the Red Sea, we have been freed from bondage through the waters of baptism. Our leader is Jesus, who is greater than Moses. He is our source of spiritual nourishment and sustenance. However, like Israel, we can lose our deep relationship with God if we succumb to idolatry, immorality, or a lack of trust in the Lord. We must remain humble, reliant on God, and confident that He will strengthen us during times of temptation. God's people must move forward in faith together. Sharing in the Lord means we are all on this journey as one body. We must be patient, considerate of each other's conscience and needs, and devoted to helping one another stay saved. Eternal God, we know You led Israel out of slavery and toward the land of promise. We have read how many lost focus and succumbed to the impulses of the flesh, failing to receive the reward. Help us resist those temptations, support one another, and humbly rely on Your faithfulness to keep us strong. We vow to flee idolatry and dedicate our lives to You and Your people. Please help us cultivate the humility needed to deny ourselves and serve fellow believers. Guide us to do all things to glorify You and assist others in finding salvation in You. Thought Questions: -       Why did so many Israelites fall in the wilderness after being saved by God? What do you learn from their tragic example? -       “Let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.” Why is pride so dangerous when it comes to facing the temptation to sin? -       In consideration of their neighbor, some did not eat certain meats. What liberties would you be willing to forfeit for the sake of Christians?

You thought you knew where God was leading - but now it feels like you're stuck, circling, or standing in front of the Red Sea. In this episode, Christy shares how following the Holy Spirit often feels like a rollercoaster (or chasing a wild goose), and why what looks like a dead end may actually be the place where God does His best work.
