Sermon: The Magicians’ Limit
By: Pastor Ben Hulst
Exodus 8.16-19: In this third plague, a detail noted is the Egyptian magicians couldn't match what Aaron and Moses do. They are undone. All their secret arts are shown as a fraud, empty, and lacking power. But the name of the LORD is powerful and knowing it brings life and hope over death. This is the power of Jesus' name that has been given to us. It protects us from the destructive darkness and gives us the hope of everlasting life.

- Mar 6, 2022Sermon: Purifying Fire
Mar 6, 2022Sermon: Purifying FireBy: Pastor Ben HulstExodus 3.1-22: Fire is both a destructive force and a purifying force. What effect it has depends on how one is connected to the pure source of life. Moses discovers, through the burning bush, the purposes of the God of life, that seeks not to destroy him, but purify him and call him to a higher purpose. This is the goal of God in our own life. We are the bush, that should burn, but doesn't. Not because of our strength, but the merciful fire of God that purifies us, but doesn't destroy us. This is the grace we find strength in.
