Sermon Description
When dissatisfaction go unquenched, they lead to disappointments in God. And disappointed followers are tempted to test Him. We're tempted to put God in the dock, that is, to put Him on trial, questioning His good providence and even His presence. But, it's His amazing response that really puts us back in our place.
Topics: Faith, Providence, Substitutionary Atonement
You Shall Know I AM: Grumbling in the Wilderness
Bible VersesExodus 15:22-16:36

Sermon Description
Not long after experiencing the greatness of God's deliverance at the Red Sea, the Israelites find themselves grumbling. This episode in the wilderness serves to illustrate the difficultly even God's people have in trusting him to provide for our daily needs. His response is to test us – not to see if we'll pass or fail – but to teach us to trust and obey.
Topics: Faith, Grace, Providence, Suffering

Bible VersesExodus 13:17-14:31

Sermon Description
The crossing of the Red Sea is a paradigm of biblical salvation. That means a greater grasp of how the Lord finally delivers Israel from Egypt grants us a greater understanding and appreciation for the ways in which the Lord continues to save his people by a strong hand.
You Shall Know I AM: The Passover (The First Supper)
Bible VersesExodus 11:1-13:16

Sermon Description
As Christians, we read the Old Testament in light of New Testament realities. So the Passover meal in Exodus has been reinterpreted as the First Supper. It’s a ritual meal that finds its fulfillment in the Last Supper shared by Christ and his apostles and its recapitulation in the Lord’s Supper shared by Christ and his Church today.

You Shall Know I AM: Plagues and the Hard Heart
Bible VersesExodus 8-10
PreacherJason Tarn
Preached on
October 7, 2018
Sermon Description
As children, we might read the Ten Plagues as fanciful stories filled with magicians and magical staffs. But, as we grow older, the same stories have a way of disturbing our sensibilities and our view of God and how he ought to operate. That's why we'll all benefit from a careful reading of the Plagues from three different perspectives.
You Shall Know I AM: God’s Glory in Salvation Through Judgment
Bible VersesExodus 7

Sermon Description
God is all-powerful. He could have delivered Israel in one fell swoop. But instead he chose to harden Pharaoh and perform miraculous signs and wonders ten times over. God apparently has a purpose – a purpose to glorify himself by making his name known among all the nations.
You Shall Know I AM: Who is the LORD?
Bible VersesExodus 5

Preached on
September 16, 2018
Sermon Description
Who is the LORD? That was the question posed by Pharaoh, and one we should keep asking ourselves. We often presume to know the LORD and how he operates. Which is why we get confused and frustrated when his actions don’t match our assumptions.
Topics: Failure, Grace, Weaknesses

Sermon Description
Moses has received an undeniable call from the LORD, but he is still trying to wiggle his way out of it. God makes it clear that his plans are in no way dependent on Moses' compliance, but he patiently deals with Moses and his excuses in order to magnify his divine power through our human weaknesses.
Topics: God's Sovereignty, Gospel, Mission, Weaknesses

Sermon Description
Moses clearly wanted to help his people. But his first attempt to help ended in disaster and exile. Yet, in God’s providence, that failure served to better prepare him for a second try. What he learned can translate to us and our attempts to help others in need of deliverance.
Topics: Compassion, Grace, Serving
You Shall Know I AM: Bondage and the Birth
Bible VersesExodus 1:1-2:10
PreacherJason Tarn
Preached on
August 19, 2018
Sermon Description
The book of Exodus has been aptly described as the Old Testament gospel. That is, it contains the good news of salvation through Moses that ultimately foreshadows the final salvation of God’s people through a Second Moses. In this sense, the first two chapters help illustrate a human condition that we share with the ancient Israelites – our deep bonds of slavery and our great need for deliverance.
