Have you ever felt trapped?
Like your past was chasing you… and your future looked impossible?
That’s exactly where Israel found themselves in the book of Exodus — standing between Pharaoh’s advancing army and the waters of the Red Sea.
This Sunday, we continue our 12-week journey through THE STORY: How the Bible Explains Everything with Part 4: “The Crossing.”
So far, we’ve seen:
- In The Creation, God made a good world and created us in His image — but sin entered and fractured everything.
- In The Catastrophe, judgment came through the flood — yet God preserved a remnant and showed mercy.
- In The Covenant, God walked the blood path alone, promising Abraham that He Himself would secure redemption.
Now we come to the moment when that covenant promise begins to unfold in power.
After 400 years of slavery in Egypt — just as God foretold — the time for deliverance arrived. The Exodus story is not just ancient history. As the Bible Project has said, “it is the most referenced story in the Bible. It shapes the Bible’s entire view of reality” (Bible Project)
But here’s the real question: What does a 3,500-year-old rescue mission have to do with your life in 2026?
Because at some point, all of us stand on the shore of our own “Red Sea.”
A crisis we can’t fix.
A past we can’t outrun.
A future we can’t engineer.
And we discover something humbling: If God doesn’t move, we’re not going to make it.
The Exodus wasn’t just a miracle for Israel. It’s a pattern, a preview, a picture of how God saves. And this Sunday, we’ll see how this dramatic crossing points beyond Moses to someone greater.
We’ll discover three powerful pictures in Exodus 14 that reveal Christ as our ultimate Redeemer: Our Mediator, our Way, and our Risen Savior.
To prepare your heart for Sunday, I encourage you to read Exodus 12–15 this week. Don’t just skim it. Enter the story. Notice the Passover. The pillar of cloud and fire. The fear. The crossing. The victory song on the other side. Then come ready to see how this story whispers the name of Jesus.
Here’s how you can prepare:
📖 Read Exodus 12–15 before Sunday.
🔁 Ask: What does this show me about how God saves?
👥 Talk about it with your family or Community Group after hearing the sermon.
⛪ Come expectant to worship the God who still makes a way.
The Crossing is more than a miracle story. It’s a preview of the greater Exodus found in Christ. And the question we’ll wrestle with together is this: Are you still standing on the shore in fear…or have you stepped forward by faith into God’s deliverance?
Join us Sunday as we continue THE STORY.
