People like to be independent. We like to chow the world and ourselves that we can do it and don’t need help. We want to show we can “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.”’”
Exodus 8:1 (ESV)
But the reality is, we can’t do everything by ourselves – and that’s good!
When you believe you need no one, you believe you are God.
The Israelites had “won.” Pharaoh had let them go and they were on the way to the Promised Land.
Then God told them to turn back just as He was hardening Pharaoh’s heart to pursue them and bring them back.
What?!
The people were understandably upset. Why was Moses leading them back; so they could “die in the wilderness?” They would rather have been left alone, so that they “may serve the Egyptians” instead of God.
What a terrible statement!
But Moses answers that they will see “the salvation of the Lord” today and that “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
What an amazing statement!
We know the story; the Israelites crossed over the sea on dry ground and the Lord destroyed the Pharaoh’s army in that sea.
God saved them!
Sometimes we get the mistaken impression that we must handle everything – including our salvation. We believe that we are the reliable ones in the couple of God and us. But the reality is, God is the only One who is reliable. Always!
This is manifested most fully in our salvation. Jesus fulfilled the Law; we couldn’t. Jesus lived perfectly in love; we wouldn’t. Jesus died; we didn’t.
Rather than bemoan when we realize we need God, we should rejoice; for in faith we see God waiting when we get to the end of ourselves.
It’s time to “stop trying and start trusting” that God’s got us and all our issues. He fights for us and we have only to be silent.
“Thank You, Lord!”

More about the SEDER MEAL from
lifebridgesealy.com/ministries/seder-meal/
The Seder, celebrated on “Maundy Thursday” (a.k.a, “Holy Thursday”), tells the story of the Passover event and meal from the book of the Exodus in the Old Testament. This is important because this is the event Jesus was celebrating with His disciples for His last supper (and instituted the Sacrament of Holy Communion); and He didn’t choose this connection arbitrarily.
Jews the world over celebrate the Seder as a reminder to the Passover. For Christians, we see the deep and deliberate connection of the Passover and Jesus as “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29). We will see the how God has saved us from death by the blood of His Lamb, Jesus, just as He saved Israel from death through the blood of lambs in the Exodus.
And all of this will tie into the Passion of Jesus through Holy Week as well as Holy Communion.

Let’s go!
Join us, precious little ones for our 4-week T.Y.K.E.S. series this March.
Tagline
Teach Preschoolers To Pray.
Idea
Idea: When we pray, we are talking to God, just like we talk to mommy and daddy. We can thank God for things he’s given us, ask him for help, and talk to him when we’re Scared.
Memory Verse
“Never stop praying.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NIrV)
4-Week Series
Thank God
Little Ones will learn that they can thank God for all the great things he has done for them. Luke 17:11-19, Jesus Heals Ten Men.
Ask for Help
Little Ones will learn that they can ask God for help in every situation. Daniel 6:10-23, Daniel In The Den Of Lions.
Talk to God When You’re Scared
Little Ones will learn that they can talk to God whenever they are afraid – he loves us and will help us not be afraid anymore. Jonah 1:17-2:2, Jonah Prays From Inside A Fish.
Pray for Others
Little Ones will learn that they don’t just pray for themselves but for other people too. Acts 12:1-17, Church Prays For Peter In Prison.
For some that change is done in pride and obstinance, resulting in a tenacity of rebellion.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.”’”
Exodus 8:1 (ESV)
For others, it is a transformation of our very core identity, life of sacrifice, and cross-bearing unto everlasting life.
We see in our Scriptures from Exodus 3 how God changes us through
- His presence,
- His Plan,
- His Purpose, and
- His Messiah!
And how we, as ones now changed in Jesus, are:
- humble in stature,
- bold in action,
- steadfast in adversity,
- confident in uncertainty.
God has changed you through Jesus! He has broken into your life and moved you from the deepest depths of your sins to the highest pinnacle of perfection! But as His redeemed ones, He also calls us to service outside of our plans, ourselves; outside out comfort zones; outside of ourselves.
And that will changes us too.
That will changes others through us.
Because God uses His people to change people; to free people; to work His Plan in Jesus!
Scripture
- Exodus 24:12–18
- 1 Kings 19:3–8

Jesus was surrounded by both men and women during his ministry on earth. He saw, valued, and cared for women, and He still does today!
Through these three sessions, we will discover who Jesus is through the unique perspective of women in the Bible. We will learn from their faith and failures, how he equipped them, listened to them, walked with them, healed them, and empowered them. And how he does the same for you now!
Please join us! (You do not have to have participated in the CBS Matthew Study as this is just a bonus series in between sessions of Matthew.)

THE BIG IDEA
Nothing in this world compares to God’s love.
MEMORY VERSE
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
THEME HOOK
Discovering true love despite the Valentine’s Day hype.
Kids hear about “love” everywhere in February—candy hearts, crushes, and silly movies—but those messages are confusing and don’t last. Sometimes, “love” sounds like it’s just about feelings or gifts, and that can leave kids feeling left out or unsure what real love is.
The LOVE of God 4-week series helps children look past all the Valentine’s Day hype to discover what real love looks like in the Bible. Each week, we’ll investigate a new story that spells L-O-V-E and shows why God’s love is the best love of all.
GOSPEL CONNECTION
Across L-O-V-E, children trace the storyline of redemption: humanity’s fall, God’s rescuing pursuit, Christ’s victorious sacrifice, and the promise of eternal life. Each week points beyond “try harder” to trusting Jesus’ finished work.
FIVE WEEK LESSON OVERVIEW
| WEEK 1 | God’s Love is (L) Long-Suffering | |

| WEEK 3 | God’s Love is (V) Victorious | |
| Bible Story | Jesus and Nicodemus (John 3:1-21) | |
| Key Discovery | Jesus loves me so much that He gave His life so I can live forever with Him. | |
| Takeaway | I can always trust Jesus to save me and give me hope for forever. | |
| WEEK 4 | God’s Love is (E) Eternal | |
| Bible Story | David’s Song & John the Baptist’s Birth (Psalm 139:13-18; Luke 1:39-45) | |
