Exodus:

Freedom, Formation, Presence

The book of Exodus contains some of the most well-known stories in the Bible—Moses rescued from the Nile, the ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, the giving of the Ten Commandments, and the golden calf, to name just a few. But Exodus is much more than a collection of remarkable moments in time. It is the defining story of God's redeeming work in the Old Testament, shaping the identity of the children of Israel, laying the foundation for the church, and profoundly influencing the course of history.

At its heart, Exodus answers some of life's most important questions: What does true freedom look like? How do we experience lasting change? Who is God, and what is he really like? What does it mean to belong to him?

In Exodus, God delivers his people from slavery in Egypt, but redemption is only the beginning. He enters into a covenant relationship with them, teaches them how to live as his people, transforms them from a community of slaves into a holy nation, and prepares them to dwell in the joy of his presence. The same God is still at work today—setting us free and teaching us to live as free people.

Exodus Bible
Reading Plan

As followers of Jesus, the Bible plays a crucial role in our spiritual formation. Through Scripture we come to know God, hear his voice, understand his story, and learn what it means to follow Jesus. Scripture is not merely information to master but an invitation to be transformed by God’s truth and presence.

As we journey through Exodus together, we want everyone at PSCC to learn and practice two methods of reading Scripture:

  • Inductive Bible Study (such as the HEAR method) helps us slow down, pay attention to what the text actually says, understand its context, and discern what it reveals about God, ourselves, and the way of Jesus. It guards us from simply reading our own ideas into Scripture. 

  • Spiritual Reading (such as Lectio Divina) approaches the same Scriptures with a posture of prayerful attentiveness—reading, meditating, praying, and listening for how God is inviting us to respond.

Both types of reading are important. Inductive study helps us understand the Word faithfully, while spiritual reading helps us receive the Word personally and respond to God relationally. Together, they move Bible reading beyond simply knowing more about the Bible toward being formed more fully into the likeness of Jesus.

    Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled | Easter Sunday | April 5th, 2026

    Our hope is not based on feelings or effort, but on a historical reality: “Because I live, you also will live.” Christian hope is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus—offering a confident expectation of good, even in a broken world.

    And it’s not just future hope. Because Jesus is alive, we can experience his life now—his power at work within us, his presence with us, and his peace steadying our hearts.

    This week in John 14, we saw that Jesus offers more than comfort—he invites us into a home with God. Through the Holy Spirit, we are united with Christ, where we are in him and he is in us.

    The Christian life isn’t about striving, but abiding. As we remain in Jesus, his life flows into ours, shaping who we are and producing what we cannot on our own.

    This Sunday, we had the privilege of hearing from Peter Ong on what it means to be salt and light in our communities. We learned that to be salt requires us to be deeply present and invested in the flourishing our communities. And to be light requires us to allow God to transform us so that we can faithfully reflect Him to others.

    We continued our series “Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled” by looking at Jesus’ promise in John 14: that we are not left alone, but given the Holy Spirit as our Helper. In a moment when the disciples were filled with grief and uncertainty, Jesus didn’t just offer comforting words—He promised His very presence to dwell within them. The Spirit is “one who comes alongside to help,” meeting us in the real circumstances of our lives with tangible, experienced love.

    This Sunday we continued our series Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled in John 14. In this passage, Philip asks Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” It’s an honest request that reflects a longing present in every human heart—we were created to know God, and beneath so many of our desires is the deeper desire to see and know Him.

    This Sunday, we continued in John 14, hearing again Jesus’ tender words to anxious hearts: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” On the night before His death, Jesus did not offer vague comfort—He offered Himself.

    This week, we began a new sermon series, titled Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled.

    In John 14, on the night before his crucifixion, Jesus looks at his troubled disciples and says, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.” Their hearts are stirred up by fear, loss, and uncertainty—and instead of offering quick relief, Jesus goes deeper. He addresses their trust.
