Exodus: When Your Way Out is the Way In
What if the story that makes sense of your life isn’t the one you’ve been telling yourself?
Not the one your family handed you.
Not the one school drilled into you.
Not the one our culture keeps selling you.
What if the story that best explains your life was written 3,500 years ago?
The book of Exodus isn’t just about an ancient people escaping Egypt. It’s about us. It’s about you. It’s the story of being enslaved to a system that slowly grinds you down, the story of a God who shows up in the middle of it, and the story of discovering who you were always meant to be. It’s about realizing that the way out of slavery is also the way in—to freedom, identity, faith, and hope.
For thousands of years, people have turned to Exodus to make sense of their own lives. Maybe it’s time you did too.

Week 2: The Long Journey to Discovering Who You Really Are | Exodus 2
Who are you—really?
It’s one of the hardest questions to answer. For Moses, it took eighty years. For many of us, it still hangs unresolved.
In Exodus 2, we follow Moses’ journey from prince to murderer to nobody in the wilderness. Along the way, we see how God uses the long, slow work of identity formation—and how the question “Who am I?” echoes through Scripture until it finds its answer in Jesus.
Week 3: God Has a Name | Exodus 3-4
Most people know God by a title… but did you know He has a personal name? In Exodus 3–4, Moses meets God in the wilderness and dares to ask: “Who are You?” The answer — “I AM” — is as mysterious as it is life-changing.
This sermon explores the moment God reveals His Name, why it matters more than we realize, and how it changes the way we see ourselves. You’ll discover why knowing God’s Name is about more than pronunciation or theology — it’s about identity, intimacy, and trust.
Whether you feel like a nobody, wrestle with doubt, or are searching for something real, this text invites you into two of life’s most important questions: Who am I? Who is God?
Week 4: When Following God Makes Your Life Worse | Exodus 5-6
Ever feel like following Jesus is making your life, not better, but worse?
In this message from Exodus 5-6, we dive into one of the most honest and unsettling parts of the Bible—where God's people accept His promise of salvation, and then their suffering immediately gets worse. Moses shows up with God's message of freedom, the Israelites worship and believe... and then Pharaoh makes their slave labor brutally harder. The people who were just praising God now curse Moses. Even Moses starts questioning God.
If you've ever felt like following Jesus made your life more difficult instead of easier, this message is for you. This isn't a "everything happens for a reason" message. It's an honest look at why the path to freedom often leads through deeper struggle first—and why that might actually be evidence that God is working, not absent.
Week 6: First Unlearn Everything: How the Ten Plagues Reveal Who God Really Is | Exodus 7-10
The first step in knowing God is unlearning everything you think you know.
In Exodus 7–10, God doesn’t just free His people from Egypt—He dismantles Egypt’s entire way of seeing the world. Through the Ten Plagues, He reveals Himself by unmaking their reality and tearing down the false gods they had trusted for meaning, security, and control.
In this message, we'll explore our response to the God who hides in plain sight, kills our "gods," and thrusts our lives into emptiness and chaos... so that he can make us new.
