Week 8: Crossing the Red Sea: Faith Steps to Freedom

Sep 7, 2025    Pastor Maggie Pate

Pastor Maggie shares from the biblical account of the Exodus and the Red Sea crossing to illustrate profound spiritual lessons. She emphasizes that the Exodus was not merely a rescue but a "battle story" where God demonstrated His supremacy as "Promise Keeper," "Creator," "Warrior," "Judge," and "King" against Pharaoh's false claims. She then explores the "Battle of Fear, Trust, & Obedience," urging readers to "trust deeper" in God's presence rather than succumbing to fear or relying on their own strategies, and to embrace "obedience" by taking bold steps of faith. Ultimately, Pastor Maggie connects the Red Sea victory to the Gospel, highlighting that "God fights for us" and that through Jesus's sacrifice and resurrection, believers "don’t fight for victory—we fight from victory" because He has already triumphed over sin and death.
