One More Night with the Frogs

Ex 8:9-10 (NKJV)  ⁹ And Moses said to Pharaoh, "Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only." ¹⁰ So he said, "Tomorrow." And he said, "Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

A few questions come to mind with this curious exchange between pharaoh and Moses. No doubt pharaoh is dealing with the plague of frogs just like everyone else in the land. The first couple of verse tell us that they were literally everywhere. In the ovens, on their bodies… not a comfortable situation. Why would God lead Moses to ask “When?” Maybe it is a test, but more likely God is revealing the stubborn heart of this king.

How often are we stubborn in our sin? How often do we continue to suffer when God has offered rescue and forgiveness? What sin strongholds could we give over to God today?

Hebrews 3:12-13 (NKJV) ¹² Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; ¹³ but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

- Pastor Joel Johns

Continue to enjoy the songs we sang on Sunday as you spend time with the Lord throughout the week.

As we begin to exit the “winter” months, and enter into Spring, I want to encourage you, Church. Spring is a time of new beginnings, rebirth, and growth. Nature is bouncing back from the cold months where everything was stagnant, students are ending their school-year and looking to the next, and Christians are looking toward the celebration of their Savior who rose from the grave, conquering sin and death.

In the next several weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday, let’s do some homework together. Let’s study who Jesus is, what His earthly ministry looked like, and why He came to die for sinners like us. I would encourage you to read through the Gospel of John and catch a brief glimpse of Jesus and how He daily sought to glorify His Father, as He taught His disciples to do the same.

Let’s learn from this and strive to do the same, and let’s get ready to celebrate His Resurrection together!

Join us for a time of processing and working through the loss of a loved one. This week we will begin a two-part series on learning lessons from our grief. We hope this is a blessing to you!

Join us on Tuesdays at 6:30pm for a time of fellowship and worship as we study God’s Word. This is a great place for those who are 18-30 years old, and are looking for biblical community among their peers. We hope to see you there!

Hey families of students! The next campy payment is due on Sunday, March 19th. This payment will be $100. If you served at the Chili Cook-Off, then it’s good news for you! This will be your last payment towards camp. Otherwise, stay tuned for the next payment in April. We're so excited for camp, and hope you are too!
