When someone wrongs you, do you demand Old Testament justice, "an eye for an eye," or do you overcome evil with the mercy & grace of Jesus Christ? Which covenant do you want to belong to, the old or the new? Be challenged to walk as Jesus walked in our study of Exodus 21:23-25 at Calvary Gig Harbor this Sunday.

Grace And Mercy (Exodus 21:23-25)

Are you walking in the fear of the Lord? Perhaps familiarity with God, flippancy toward holy things, self-focus, or even the fear of man has robbed you of this great virtue. Reforge the strength of your worship, obedience, and love in the blazing furnace of the "Fear of the Lord" this week as we study Exodus 19:16-19 at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Fear of the LORD (Exodus 19:16-20)

Banners and flags play an essential role. They inspire troops to victory, strengthen team spirit, and unite citizens as one people. For citizens of Heaven, Yahweh Himself is their banner! Though the enemy fights to demoralize them by removing their banner, they press onward, lifting Him high through prayer, worship, obedience, and love. Be encouraged to victory this week as we study Exodus 17:15, "Yahweh My Banner," at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Yahweh My Banner (Exodus 17:15)

Bitter water flows from bitter springs. What kids of words flow from your heart when circumstances squeeze you dry? God is able to heal broken people, producing in them something brand new, the sweet life! Come in for your check-up with our Great Physician this Sunday as we study Exodus 15:22-27 at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Yahweh Your Healer (Exodus 15:26)

Have circumstances ever gotten you fearfully freaked out, feverishly frustrated, fumingly furious, or feeling like your in a forlorn funk? Words of doubt & defeat begin creeping into our minds and making their way out our mouths. We proceed to painfully pin the blame on the closest person for our present predicament. In these tumultuous times, God tells us to be silent, trusting in Him to be triumphant on our behalf. Join us this Sunday at Calvary Gig Harbor as we study Exodus 14:14, and discover the victory and peace that is ours in Jesus Christ.

Be Silent (Exodus 14:14)

Scared families huddled safely together behind their blood marked doors as cries from Egyptian neighbors pierced the stillness of night. It was the final plague, the Plague of the Firstborn. God faithfully kept watch over Israel, guarding them from the Destroyer and Pharaoh's revenge. The LORD continues to watch over His people with absolute vigilance today. He asks us to faithfully keep watch for Him in return. Discover the importance of watchfulness as we study Exodus 12:42 this week at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Watchfulness (Exodus 12:43)

It's one thing every being will do, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Everyone will know the LORD. Pharaoh claimed that he did not know the LORD. In fact, he didn't even want to know God, yet it was the very thing he ended up doing by the last of the 10 plagues. Israel knew the LORD by experiencing His amazing grace. Moses knew the LORD as his Best Friend. How we come to know the LORD, as Judge or Deliverer & Friend, is up to us. Find out more about knowing the LORD this week as we study Exodus 9:14 at Calvary Gig Harbor.

It's one thing every being will do, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Everyone will know the LORD. Pharaoh claimed that ...

Know The Lord (Exodus 9:14)

It was a battle of supernatural proportions! Moses threw down, and the staff became a snake. Pharaoh's magicians threw down, and accomplished the same thing by their secret arts. In conflicts like this, confident faith is challenged and proud hearts are hardened. How will you stand in the battle for your heart? Learn how to take the victory as we study Exodus 7:11-13 this Sunday at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Battle For Hearts (Exodus 7:11-13)

God's heart ached for His suffering people enslaved in Egypt. He called Moses to lead them out of bandage into freedom. This humble man was to serve as God's mouthpiece, as His hands and feet. Yet he resisted his calling, and as a result God's anger was kindled against Moses' reluctance. Are you resisting God's call upon your life? Join us as we discover how God's Grace can get us out of our seats and into the game as we study Exodus 4:13-14.

Obey The Call (Exodus 4:13-14)

Before delivering Israel from Egypt, Moses stood barefoot at the burning bush, humbly requesting to know God's Name. What name could represent an awesome transcendent God beyond human comprehension? What name could mankind personally and confidently call upon as a tower of refuge and hope for salvation? Find out Sunday, June 2 as we study Exodus 3:13-15 at Calvary Gig Harbor.

YHWH: I Am Who I Am (Exodus 3:13-15)

Ever wonder how guys like Joseph come out ahead when everything in life is stacked against them? The truth is, they have a whole lot of help! Tap into your only true source of help as we study Genesis 49:24 at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Our Great Helper (Genesis 49:24)

Do you have integrity? Some people secretly do wrong things when they assume no one is watching. Others openly do good things on the condition the right people are watching. What we need is that upward focus, sincerely seeking what is pleasing in God's sight. Only then will we have godly integrity. Join us as we study Exodus 2:12.

Looking Up (Exodus 2:12)

Wounds from those who are closest cut the deepest. Many will chose to linger in the trauma of treachery, paralyzed by personal pain. Unwilling to grow beyond the injurious words, actions, or attitudes that bruised them so. Is there a cure for such a condition? Discover the healing in forgiveness as we study Genesis 45:14-15.

Healing In Forgiveness (Genesis 45:14-15)

Are you chicken when it comes to change, fearful of the future, or uncomfortable with the unknown? Find courage for life's journey as we study Genesis 46:1-4.

Courage For The Journey (Genesis 46:1-4)

His brothers fought against it. His dad forgot all about it. Joseph remembered it, and it fueled his faith! Do you need encouragement to patiently endure your present circumstances? Do you need hope for the future? Remember the dream! Recall the promises of God. Join us as we study Genesis 42:9 at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Remember The Dream (Genesis 42:9)

God endows His children with spiritual abilities that exceed earthly potential. Joseph uses his spiritual gifts faithfully. Eventually the supernatural supersedes the natural. In one day, he went from the pit of prison to the pinnacle of positions. In faith he exercises his divinely entrusted talents, and countless lives are saved. Discover the mighty ministry God might have for you as we study Genesis 41:38 this Sunday at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Gifted By The Spirit (Genesis 41:38)

Rejected, abused, sold as a slave, and suffered unjustly. So they treated Jesus and so they treated Joseph, yet both had an unshakable confidence in their Father. What was their secret? If we, Christ's followers, believe we will be treated better than our master, we are categorically mistaken! But, we most assuredly can possess this crucial confidence that cuts through any relational tribulation or disheartening circumstance. Discover this "Confidence in the Lord" as we study Genesis 37:36 this week at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Confidence In The Lord (Genesis 37:36)

Temptation moves in like a sudden storm. We are tossed to and fro by overwhelming waves of desires and emotions. Disorientation threatens to throw us off course in our relationship with God. How will you weather temptation's tempest? Joseph, like a master navigator, keeps his course true. He overcomes the seduction of sin in Genesis 39:9. Learn the valuable skill of "Navigating the Storms of Temptation" this Sunday at Calvary Gig Harbor.

Navigating The Storm Of Temptation (Genesis 39:9)

Anger is a God-given emotional response to destructive words & actions that injure the innocent. Anger desires justice. It longs to see things set right. Many commit iniquity in their indignation. Some fall into toxic hatred. Others hastily handle judgment with their own hands. How should you deal with your anger when enraged? Is there a higher road? Some heavenly way to deal with this maddening emotion? Find out as we study Genesis 34:7.

Rescued From Destructive Anger (Genesis 34:7)

Jacob sought to receive blessing by cheating and deceiving those closest to him. He burned bridges and bruised hearts. Ultimately, he faced his own breaking point when God gave him a lasting limp after a late night wrestling match with Jacob at the Jabbok. Not until he finally learned to lean on God for blessing did any lasting change come. In fact, his transformation was so dramatic, God gave him a new name and restored broken relationships. Join us and be transformed as we study Genesis 32:22-31!
