The Red Sea “Step into the Sea” (Exodus 14-15) in Getting Unstuck for Dummies, a series in Exodus:

  1. Exodus offers a deeply biblical approach to recovery from the sins that derail us, the struggles that dog us & the scars that define us.
  2.  “I thought God would honor my decision.”
  3. Resentment toward God can creep into your life and you can get stuck spiritually.
  4. “If God has accepted me by grace alone, then I can’t expect anything from him. I owe him everything and he owes me nothing.”
  5. If y0u express your resentment & admit your acting like an “elder brother,” prepare to love God deeper than you ever have before.
  6. “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm. Watch God save you. All you have to do is shut up.”
  7. Sharing your resentment is healthy; staying resentful indefinitely is not.
  8. You can’t change your emotions on the spot, but you can change your focus.
  9. You’re stuck because, ultimately, you don’t trust God enough to step into the sea.
  10. “They had it easy? They didn’t know I would be plunged to the murky sea and drown for you on the cross.”

Here's the sermon from last weekend in 10 tweets: "FOR [Whoever Believes] – God’s Faithfulness, Our Faith (John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8,11:

3main
#1- God’s faithfulness fortifies your faith.

#2- If I gave my kids my word, they knew I wasn’t pulling their leg. Because I never went back on my word, my faithfulnes fortified their faith in me.

#3- God’s faithfulness is written all over John 3:16 when you understand why God gave his Son.

#4- God gave his Son to fulfill his promise to die for our failure to keep the covenant.

#5- Have you ever made a promise you never thought you’d have to keep? God promised knowing he would have to keep it.

#6- I’m not comparing God to a Chevy but we’re a lot like Tommy.

 

#7- The primary way churches reach people isn’t advertising or events but the people investing in and inviting others who are far from God.

#8- It takes faith. You can focus on your fear and faithlessness or on God’s faithfulness.

#9- God is not a vending machine but he promises to bless those who give. When he blesses us with stuff, it’s so we can be generous (2 Co 9:11).

#10- “Be brave. Be brave. Be brave…” God is faithful.
