Missed The Message This Week?

In this message, we explored the difference between the world’s kind of power and the power of God. While the world often operates through control, pressure, and fear, Scripture shows that this kind of power ultimately leads to bondage and brokenness. Even when Moses tried to fight injustice using force, it could not bring true freedom or change the human heart.
God’s power is different. In the story of the Exodus, He delivers His people not through domination, but through love, patience, and provision. He frees Israel from slavery and then begins the slow work of healing their hearts, teaching them to trust Him day by day.
The good news for us is that God is not a taskmaster demanding performance. He is a patient Father who is not rushed and is committed to our freedom. Our role is not to strive for control, but to trust the freedom He has already given us through His grace.

As we continue our journey through The Story, we encourage you to read Chapter 5 (pages 59–70) to prepare for next week’s message..
