We all face moments when identity struggles, unmet expectations, and anxiety seem unshakable—even after we've tried every “Christian” answer we know. The problem isn't that Scripture isn't enough; it's that we sometimes use it like a band-aid instead of seeing the deeper truth it points to. In Exodus 3–4, God meets Moses in his insecurity, not by inflating his ego, but by shifting his focus from his own limitations to God's sufficiency. Our potential and our limitations are two sides of the same coin—both designed to lead us to rely on God. When we take our eyes off ourselves and fix them on Him, we find the strength to walk where He calls.Scripture:Exodus 3: 1-22Exodus 4: 1-31Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

Gratitude changes everything! In this powerful message from our Important Words series, we learn the language of “THANKS” — not just after the miracle, but before it and for generations to come. Discover how Hallel (praise after), Todah (trusting thanks before), and Zakar (remembrance) can transform your mindset, relationships, health, and faith. Don't just say thank you — live it!Scripture: Exodus; Psalm 150:6
Scripture: Exodus 12:31–41 | Psalm 105:36-37 In this timely and challenging message, Pastor Shelby Crump reminds us that when God calls us out of bondage, He doesn't just call us to leave—He calls us to plunder the enemy and walk out in freedom and abundance. The Israelites didn't leave Egypt empty-handed. They walked out with their children, their livestock, and the riches of Egypt. They left with more than they came with. In the same way, God is calling us to pack our bags—to take our families, our faith, our purpose, and everything He's given us into the freedom He provides. Don't leave anything behind in Egypt. Don't settle for the bare minimum of what God has for you. And you don't have to carry it all alone. God will give you the strength, and when the weight feels too heavy, the church is here to help carry the load.

Scripture: Exodus 14
“You might think it's over… but this is where God begins.” In this powerful message from Exodus 2:11–25, Pastor Nick teaches how rock bottom isn't the end of your story—it's the start of God's greater plan. We look at the life of Moses, a man who had everything, blew it all, and found himself hiding in the desert with nothing left to show… and yet, God wasn't done.
Today, we kick off our new series, Built to Last, by asking one of life's biggest questions: "What am I here for?"Pastor Peter takes us through the story of Moses in Exodus 3 to show how God uses burning bush moments to grab our attention, reveal His purpose, and set our hearts on fire for Him.Whether you feel too young, too old, or too ordinary, God has a divine calling for your life — and it starts by slowing down, paying attention, and saying "yes" to Him.x

In this episode of The Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the passage of Scripture that is most quoted by Scripture itself: when God reveals his name and character to his people. Who is Yahweh and is he really anything at all like the Jesus of the New Testament?

In this episode of the Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the significance of the detailed descriptions and instructions concerning the Tabernacle and the priesthood. The covenant has been ratified, the dwelling place for God and his priesthood has been commissioned, but the newly created people of God don't even make it 40 days before the fall into the familiar pattern of rebellion and rejection of God. So how does God respond?

In episode 133, we're discussing how we are bound by our weight and our thoughts about our weight. we also look at ways we are voluntarily and involuntarily bound. Lastly, I share an activity for you to do with the Lord this week. Scripture: Exodus 16:2-3, Numbers 11:4-6
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 15:1-21 SHOW NOTES: For your spiritual journey, please visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, to access additional Bible study resources. In this new series, The Power of Prayer, we are excited to explore the prayers of people in the Bible. This lesson will examine Exodus 15, where God provided a miraculous escape for the Israelites as they crossed the Red Sea while Egyptian chariots closed in on them. The Lord hurled Pharaoh's army of chariots into the sea and delivered the Israelites. With praise and celebration, Moses and his sister, Miriam, led the people in a powerful praise service. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. Both horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.” Exodus 15:1The entire community unites to praise the Lord. They recognize God's strength, salvation, and His mighty right hand. The Lord is awesome, holy, and majestic, performing mighty wonders. "In Your unfailing love, You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength, You will guide them to Your holy dwelling."

Overweighted: Lose Weight Without a Diet, Eat What You Want, Be More Consistent
In episode 130, we're discussing that there may be things in your life that you have been putting before the Lord. Seek Him about what or who they may be, and let's pray to place the Lord back into His rightful place. Scripture: Exodus 20:3, Phil 3: 17-2, Gal 5:16 Link to Idolatry Bible Study (aff link): https://collabs.shop/uhl7dc
Scripture: Exodus 20:17, Mark 7:21-23, Matthew 6:33, 2 Corinthians 10:5, 1 Timothy 6:6-10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” Exodus 20:17 Covet - to yearn to possess or have what belongs to another. Covet - insatiable desire for more at the expense of others. Today's tenth word is unique as it regulates thought. The other ten words all regulate behavior (e.g. have no other gods, remember the Sabbath Day, honor your parents, don't steal, don't murder). We see in scripture how our thought-life has a huge influence on our behavior: Cain - Genesis 4 Joseph's brothers - Genesis 37 Korah - Numbers 16 David - 2 Samuel 11 Ghazi - 2 Kings 5 We see in the Bible that our thought-life greatly controls our behavior, actions and even our futures. As the mind thinks - so we behave. Pathology Envy Jealousy Dishonesty Relationships Dissatisfaction Focus Mental health Financial issues Where does coveting come from? Mark 7:21-23 tells us, “For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” (ESV) Jesus is calling us to realize our thought-life matters! How do we stop coveting? 1. Christ - we need to look to Jesus and remember that He died on the cross and rose for us. Matthew 6:33 tells us to rely on Him and 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, “…we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2. Contentment - while in this fallen world, we still know what the future holds: life forever with God. This is where our containment is found - in the promise of our future with Him. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 “But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 3. Celebration - celebrate what we have. In Philippians 4:4-7 we are told, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Celebrate the good things of God and have a thankful hearts. God's 10 Words are still powerful words today. He gives them to us to: 1. Protect us - keep us on His path 2. Reveal our sin - so that we come to Him 3. Give us direction - that guides our lives and shows us how to live When we take to heart God's Ten Words - that brings blessings to us as believers AND blessings to the world. Now What?

Clear Creek Resources - A Podcast of Clear Creek Community Church
In this episode of The Story of Scripture, Ted, Lance, and Rachel discuss what it means to be the "treasured possession" of Yahweh. How should we think about the 10 Commandments? Is the law good, bad, or outdated? These well-known passages are far-reaching, not just for courtrooms or as a failed "plan A" of God, but for how we understand our identity and mission as God's people today.
Scripture: Exodus 20:16, Proverbs 19:5, John 8:44, Ephesians 4:25, Ephesians 4:15, Proverbs 26:20, Romans 1:28ff, Philippians 2:5, John 8:31-32 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. Exodus 20:16 The Bible tells us that there is One who is only truth. One who is total and absolute in His Truthfulness and that is our Living God. God values truth and judges lies. Proverbs 19:5 “A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.” Pastor shares two examples from scripture. 1. From the Old Testament in 1 Kings 21 about Naboth 2. From the New Testament in Acts 6-7 about Stephen These stories encourage us to take seriously the importance of truth. Lying is an issue in our culture today. Lying is seen in some of the highest places and some of the most common parts of our daily lives. What does it mean “you shall not give false testimony” ⁃ REJECT THE LIE - Recognize where lies come from. John 8:44 “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Lies come from the enemy - He's a liar and his lies are destructive to our culture and to ourselves. We are to turn our backs on the father of lies. ⁃ SPEAK THE TRUTH - we are to speak only truth. Ephesians 4:25 “Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” God only speaks truths and we are to speak truthfully, too. ⁃ SPEAK TRUTH IN LOVE - do not be spiritually haughty - that attitude tears people down. We are to speak what is best for people who we know Jesus died for. (Because he died for ALL) We are not to lie in order to seek to get even, or to lie in order to hurt others or to lie to make ourselves look good. Ephesians 4:15 “ Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Our words are to give glory to God and blessing to others. ⁃ RENOUNCE GOSSIP - Gossip destroys reputations, it destroys relationship with God. Proverbs 26:20 “Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.” God detests gossiping - so live like children of God. ⁃ BE CHRIST-LIKE - have the mind of Christ. Philippians 2:5 “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus” Jesus is Truth and Truth sets us FREE! John 8:31-32 “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'” God's truth changes us, changes families, changes communities and changes countries, God is calling us to embrace the truth and to live the truth. He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. (John 14:6). And we are to reflect His goodness in this darkened world. Now What? Learn about God at https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

The final, devastating plague that forces Pharoah's hand: the death of every firstborn son in Egypt. The Passover ritual and reality that defines and orients the people of Israel even to this day. God's presence with the Israelites in pillars of cloud and fire. Bread provided from heaven. In this episode of The Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the protection, presence, and provision of God in this epic story and how each moment intentionally points to Jesus.
SCRIPTURE- Exodus 16:4 "God said to Moses, 'I'm going to rain bread down from the skies for you. The people will go out and gather each day's ration, I'm going to test them to see if they'll live according to my teaching."REFLECTION-Sr. CarolMUSIC-"Letting Go" Instrumental-"I Will Make This Day My Prayer" by David KauffmanNOTES-
Scripture: Exodus 20:15, Joshua 6-7, James 1:17, Ephesians 4:28, Leviticus 9:13, 1 Timothy 6:17-18, 1 Peter 2:12, Philippians 2:4, Philippians 3:20, Ephesians 2:8-10 This command is simple words, but words with great depth. What does “stealing” cover? It's the taking of what's not ours. Pastor shares a biblical demonstration from the story of the Israelites of the consequences of taking what is not ours and what the Lord has said not to take. There are consequences to disobeying God's clear will and He has established moral law that's be given to us for a purpose - It's for the protection of society and for everyone. You Shall Not Steal ⁃ Ownership - there is personal ownership but this is not absolute ownership, because everything we have comes from God. God is the giver of all good gifts. ⁃ Stewardship - take care of what we have - use wisely what God has given us, and bless others with what we have. ⁃ Citizenship - Be a good citizen - we are part of a culture and called to be a blessing. The way we behave: integrity and honor can be seen by others and can bring them to knowing Jesus and the way we behave brings glory to God. We are called to look out for not only our own interests but also those of others. Our citizenship is in heaven and so we live that way. Citizens of this world but above all we are citizens of heaven through Jesus and what He has done for us and THAT calls us to live like we know that! TWIN DANGERS ⁃ Legalism - thinking we've done so much better than others. Legalism destroys faith, destroys relationship with God and becomes the worship of self rather than worship of God. ⁃ Antinomianism - is the thinking that since Jesus died for me and paid for my sins, I can do whatever I like. That is not true and is a complete misunderstanding of what the Bible says. It doesn't say sin doesn't matter! Jesus DID die, DID pay for our sins, DID rise from the grave, IS returning AND BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT - we don't want to do what we please. We want to do what pleases Him! When God gave the Ten Commandments - He did not say, “Do these (Ten Commandments) to be save.” He began these commands by saying, “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of bondage. I am the One who saves you. THEREFORE - now live this way: The Ten Commandments.” Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. So by faith we give thanks for Jesus and we desire to live lives that give God glory and bless others. Now What? Learn about God at https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

The final, devastating plague that forces Pharoah's hand: the death of every firstborn son in Egypt. The Passover ritual and reality that defines and orients the people of Israel even to this day. God's presence with the Israelites in pillars of cloud and fire. Bread provided from heaven. In this episode of The Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the protection, presence, and provision of God in this epic story and how each moment intentionally points to Jesus.
Scripture: Exodus 20:14; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Mark 10:6-9; Hebrews 13:4; Acts 17:30-31 The Ten Words are the equivalent of an Owner's Manual - showing us how to live a life that makes a difference for ourselves and everyone. And so let's wrestle with the question, “Does our Heavenly Father know what's best for each of us,” especially in light of today's Word in Exodus 20:14. “You shall not commit adultery.” From the beginning God was concerned that the family be protected and that marriages be preserved. Marriage - God's First Institution ⁃ One man and one woman ⁃ For a lifetime ⁃ Become one flesh - intimacy ⁃ For family ⁃ It was “very good” ⁃ Especially under attack today God's plan is and was good, but the consequences of losing, breaking, ignoring and destroying what the Father intended are huge. What is the biblical teaching on marriage and what does it tell us today: Biblical Basics for marriage, sex, family and relationship: 1. Flee sexual temptation and sin. 1 Corinthians 6:18 “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” 2. Honor and protect marriage. Mark 10:6-9 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” 3. Reserve sex for marriage alone. Hebrews 13:4 “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” Back to our original question: “Does our Heavenly Father know best?” Yes… He does….. And so, when we find WE'VE WANDERED from the Creator's will - HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THAT? 1. Listen - to our Father Creator 2. Repent - have a change of mind 3. Repent - change your direction. Acts 17:30-31 “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.” Jesus Christ, cares in spite of what we've done. He paid for our rebellion and sins and offers us life, forgiveness and hope through repentance. 4. Trust - Jesus Christ - The Risen One. We can trust the One who stretched out His arms to die for us, who is risen from the grave and who is returning. 5. Follow God's Word and God's Spirit. Our God gave us the Owner's Manual. He also gave us the Deliverer, Jesus. And in Him we find, hope, forgiveness and power to live a new life freed of bondage to the past. Now What?

Scripture: Exodus 20:13, Genesis 4, 2 Samuel 11-12, Genesis 9:6, Matthew 5:21-22, 1 John 3:15 Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder.” Many believe they have not broken this commandment - but what we will discover is that we have all broken it. This will be a message that will offend many and we will see our incredible need for a Savior. We will also recognize He is giving us direction for our daily lives. The Ten Commandments were given as a Curb Mirror Guide There are so many stories of murder in the Bible: Cain and Abel - Genesis 4, David and Uriah - 2 Samuel 11-12. In Genesis 9:6 we see that God considers life to be sacred, precious: “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.” Murder is a violation of the very heart of the Living God. Jesus defines murder in greater detail in Matthew 5:21-22 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.” We are guilty of sinning against this commandment with our hearts and minds - one we thought we were exempt from. Anger, resentment and hatred - destroy us from within. “All who hate a brother or sister are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding in them.” 1 John 3:15. God calls us to be slow to anger, quick to forgive and to take seriously the heart of this commandment. Not just our outward actions but our inner thoughts. This command shows us our inner need for a Savior and calls us to Christ, showing we all need a Divine Deliverer. What more is in this command? Specific Issues: PUNISHMENT and WARFARE - Government: death penalty, wars: Romans 13:4 gives authority to government to carry these out. SUICIDE - affects the individual, their families and even communities. We are not to take our own lives. Many think of this is the unforgivable sin - yet the Bible does not say that. ABORTION - See Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:16 and Luke 1:41-44 where we see that Scriptures do not distinguish between the unborn and born. Responding to this command - do we accept a world view? Here's a common saying today: “If you are against abortion, don't do it. But don't impose your views on others.” With a closer look - try substituting different words in place of “abortion” such as: murder or slavery or sex trafficking. How does that change your view? Response ⁃ Realize: I may have accepted a worldview that is contrary to God's ⁃ Repent: ask Him for forgiveness ⁃ Receive: forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ. ⁃ Rely: on His Word which is true, on His Holy Spirit who guides and directs and gives revelation and understanding. It is painful to admit our sin, but glorious to receive what God offers: forgiveness and life in Christ. Now What? Learn about God at https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.
