Every parent wants a better future for his/her children. However, many in this broken world live in conditions where a better future seems unreachable. Many times, when all hope seems lost, God intervenes to do what is impossible for us. The story of Moses is the story of what God can do through those who are powerless but say yes to his call.

How does God use life-detours to prepare us for his redemptive plan?

Through life-detours, God prepares his servants to answer his call by…

I. Providing resources: Moses’s journey through privilege and pride Exodus 2:1-10.
a. Out of the waters: grace.
b. Prince of Egypt: from grace to privilege and pride (taking matters into our own
hands and in our own ways).

II. Transforming their pride into humility Exodus 2:11-22.
a. A shepherd’s heart cf. Philippians 2:1-11.
b. Sojourner in a foreign land Exodus 2:22.

III. Inviting them personally to join him in the fulfillment of the deepest longings of
their hearts Exodus 3:1-22.

To fulfill God’s purpose in the detours of your life
Resist the lure of choosing your way

By yielding humbly to his call.

1. What prideful elements of your character does God want to strip away in this season of your life to keep you from depending on your own resources to fulfill his plan?
2. What dreams or desires is God currently asking you to surrender for you to be available for him to invite you into his redemptive plan?
3. What ministry is the Lord called you to discover a deeper sense of fulfillment in Christ?

Jesus’ Sabbath Invitation to Come | Matthew 11:25-30

In our fallen ways, we often think rest is what we earn after working hard. In God’s plan, however, rest cannot be earned, but can be given and received. Even though God gave Israel the Sabbath to create a culture of people dependent of his grace, they constantly turned down his invitation in the pride of their hearts. Jesus came to invite us to back to the source of all grace. For he made us and our heart is restless until our it rests in him.

¿Qué diferencia hace? | Éxodo 20:8-11

August 9, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

El sábado es el ritmo sagrado de Dios que recuerda a sus criaturas redimidas su misericordiosa y generosa provisión. Dios quiso crear una cultura completamente distinta a la de las naciones caídas del mundo; una cultura que recibiera de todo corazón su gracia y se entregara a él con total entrega. Su cultura debía ser un ritmo constante de recibir de Dios para ofrecerle sacrificios vivos y voluntarios. Ya no adorarían ídolos vacíos por miedo y carencia, sino que la adoración sería una respuesta a Aquel que los creó y redimió, para bendecirlo, bendiciendo a otros como ellos mismos fueron…

What Difference Does it Make? | Exodus 20:8-11

August 9, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Sabbath is God’s sacred rhythm reminding his redeemed creatures of his gracious generous provision. God wanted to create a whole culture different from the fallen nations of the world; a culture that would wholeheartedly receive his grace and whole heartedly surrender to him. Theirs was to be a culture where one’s life is a constant rhythm of receiving from God to offer back as willing, living sacrifices. No longer would they worship empty idols out of fear and lack but worship would be a reply to the One who made them and redeemed them to bless him, blessing others as…
