Living in Conscious Connection with God

Deep down we all want the same thing – freedom. But, we all go after it in different ways and are often looking for the wrong thing . The book of Exodus gives us hope that we don’t have to earn or work for freedom – we simply have to receive it. And that should give us hope!

Sin over-promises and under-delivers. Even the sin that feels good on the front end leaves us empty or wounded over time. God came to free us from the enslaving power of sin, but what it requires on our part is surrender.

The “blood of Jesus” is often a religious phrase we throw around that an increasingly growing number of people don’t understand. Let’s unpack this ancient idea that offers freedom and life for those who believe today.

The Lord is asking those of us who have been trapped and terrified to break camp and take a step of faith. Where do you feel enslaved by fear? If God showed up to be exactly who He says He is in that area, what would your step of faith look like?

God rescued His people from slavery, yet they still identified with their old life. He desired more for them — not just to be called His children, but to live as His children. In the same way, God uses our wilderness seasons to reshape our identity, reveal our purpose, and draw us closer to Him, even in the midst of difficulty.

In the story of Exodus, God gave His people the law to show them how to live; then through Jesus, He showed us who He really is. This message is about a God who meets us in our guilt, reveals His heart of grace, and sets us free to live in His love.

In the story of Exodus, God used the law to reveal His Holiness and define His people. This message is how God reveals Himself to us, then provides the way for us to know Him and the freedom that comes when we are in right relationship with Him.
