This week we see how Jehovah intentionally dismantles Egypt’s economy by turning the Nile to blood. It is the first of 10 plagues sent to destroy 10 Egyptian gods. Jehovah longs that we know only Him as our provider. But He does not stop with destroying Egypt’s economy, the Nile. He also dismantles the system for the wealthy and their life savings, the middle class who work for a living and their savings, as well as the ways people spent what they had, even turning to blood individual drinking water. God’s message to His people and to the world system is simple: Worship the Lord alone for your provision.

We all know the difference between knowing about somebody and knowing who they are. But often times we can get tricked into thinking we actually know them when we have a lot of information about them.  This is the same for God. Maybe you know about God. His stories, what he does, the fact that He’s a creator and all cosmic super-power. But do you know Him? Did you know that He died to show you that He can be known by you? This week we see how the LORD, for the first time, shows Himself as the God who will be known.

Part 5 of the Exodus series reveals Moses’/Our repeated objections to God’s call. God says, “I will use you”, and we say, “But I’m too weak!” God says, “It’s OK I’ll be with you”. We say, “But who are you?” So God says, “I’m the only God who actually exists [I am that I am]“. We say, “Ok, but what if people don’t belive what You’re telling me?” So God says, “I’ll do signs to show Myself true”. And we go back to the beginning, “But God, I’m too weak!”

This week we see how the Problem arises when a “new king arises that does not remember” what God has done. It’s the world system that tries to oppress and repress God’s plans. First comes hard labor, then comes partial-birth abortion. When neither plan works to suppress God’s people, the Pharaoh resorts to murdering all male children who have been born to the Hebrews. But God, in the midst of the chaotic, government-run mandates on abortion, provides for those who “fear him”.

Please watch this video on human trafficking. It is a call to prayer for the deliverance of the 200 million modern day salves.  Please visit the web site and donate if you can. But most of all, respond to the call to prayer!  ~Adam

First week in a series on the Exodus from Egypt. This week we see that all deliverance begins with a promise. A promise from God to save, and multiply and bless.

A special TRCC Christmas Celebration which looks at the birth of the Christ. Why did God choose to send a Messiah as a baby? If he could orchestrate a virgin birth surely He could have made Jesus just show up at 30 to rule the nations. But God does all things with purpose. As a baby, not an imperial hero, did God enter humanity. And He entered in the year of Cesare Augustus during the reign of Herod the Great. For what purpose does God juxtapose these dramatic events? Perhaps it was to signal to the world who would follow His Christ that in God’s Kingdom, unlike man’s, the helpless, needy, use-less, dependent and humble are exalted. In short, His Kingdom belongs to children.
