Series: The Great Rescue

You’ve hit the wall. You’re out of energy. The obstacle is too big to overcome. Maybe it’s a work, in a relationship, a health crisis, or in your relationship with God. What do you do when you are facing a battle that is too big for you to fight? In our last message of our series, The Great Rescue, we’ll look at the story of the Battle of Jericho, and unlikely military victory that can remind us of the unusual plans and partnerships that get us through the everyday battles of our lives.

We are all told to plan the future, but it’s easy to be so invested in the future that we miss what God has for us right in the present.  This is especially difficult when “the present” isn’t what we would like it to be. How can we thrive in the present without getting ahead of ourselves. This week, in our series The Great Rescue, we’ll look at the story of God miraculously providing food for the Israelites as they wandered the desert. We’ll see how they learned to trust God for their “daily bread” and how the “desert experiences” in our lives can help us to grow in trust as well!

We live in an instant culture. We are used to quick results and fast changes. When things are slow or take time, we assume something is wrong with us or the system. But some of the most important events in life require great patience. In this second week of our four-week series called The Great Rescue, we’ll spend time in the story of “Passover.” We’ll see how this long night of waiting for God’s divine rescue can help us find confidence and connection with others as we wait for importance changes in our lives.

Many of us experience what is called “Imposter Syndrome.” It’s the feeling of anxiety when called to something important or being afraid someone will see you as fraud or phony. This is a common experience, especially in the spiritual life. This week, begin a four-week series The Great Rescue, looking at the greatest imposter syndrome story in the Bible – when God calls Moses to deliver the Hebrew people from Egyptian slavery. We’ll see how this Moses’ calling by God can encourage us with our everyday callings to work, relationships, and our own relationship with God!
