In this sermon from Exodus 14, we looked at how God rescues His people from impossible situations—not just through Israel's dramatic escape through the Red Sea, but ultimately through the resurrection of Jesus. God led Israel into what looked like a trap—not to harm them, but to show His power to save. With the sea in front of them and Pharaoh's army closing in behind, the people were overwhelmed by fear, doubt, and the temptation to return to slavery rather than trust God with the unknown. But God wasn't asking them to save themselves—He was asking them to be still and watch Him move. The Red Sea wasn't just a miracle of deliverance—it pointed ahead to the cross and resurrection, where Jesus stepped into death for us and rose again to bring us into new life. Like Israel, we're invited to stop striving, surrender control, and trust God to do what only He can do—bring us into a life of freedom, purpose, and identity in Christ.
