This food is called manna, the divine bread of Heaven; however, the Israelites are quick to grumble and complain. They romanticize their time in Egypt and allow their complaining to speak louder than the contentment found in gratitude. What blessings might you be overlooking in your life? How might an inaccurate recollection of the past be prohibiting your gratitude in the present? May our present gratitude in God's blessings give us a hope in what is to come.2022-03-2833 minMessiah Church MidlandDefining Good and EvilLeviticus 26:3-46 | This week we study in Leviticus the covenant between God and Israel. This passage is full of rules and the consequences of broken rules, however, the message is deeper.

This may not minimize the hardship of reality, but you can rest knowing that God goes before you, guiding, encouraging, speaki...2022-03-0724 minMessiah Church MidlandFaithful in WaitingExodus 32 | In this message we see how quickly the Israelites turn from God. They take the very resources God instructed to take upon their departure from Egypt and fashion a golden calf from them. As the church and followers of Christ, how might we learn from the Israelite's response to waiting. Will we be a faithful church in seasons of transition?2022-02-2833 minMessiah Church MidlandHeaven Meets EarthExodus 24 | In this week's message we see Israel meet God as it parallel's with the coming of Jesus.

Love Others.Exodus 23 | Love God. Love Others. In this week's message we see the importance of God's command to love. But do you know the love of God?

And all that God asks of us is that we love Him and turn our praise to Him.2022-02-1431 minMessiah Church MidlandFollowing the Rules is Fun?Exodus 20 // You are loved. You are enough.

Life with Jesus.2022-02-0722 minMessiah Church MidlandEverything You Need to Know About GodExodus 19 | This week in our continued series on Moses we examine the relationship God has designed between Himself and Moses and the Israelites.

Will you move forward?2021-11-2227 minMessiah Church MidlandThe Cost of SinExodus 12 | We continue our study with Moses and examine the sacrifices he makes as he joins God on mission to stir within the hearts of His people.
