Conduit Church Podcast

Egypt is a picture of the world system. Pharoah offered Moses an opportunity to leave if only he would leave behind some stuff. Moses said no.

God's sovereignty

One more night with the frogs? That's what Pharaoh requested, and that's just what he got.

There is a lot going on these days in Israel. I've written about them on my blog at www.darrentyler.com I decided to record some of my thoughts for the podcast.

Moses goes home for the first time in 40 years. Standing in the palace of Pharaoh that Moses himself used to play in as a child. He found his dreams that were buried long ago were resurrected by God.

We've fixed our recording quality issues. God calls Moses and Moses feels completely unqualified and unable. Gods first question to Moses was "what's in your hand?" This is the basis for ministry for all of us.

God loves nobodies. Moses was a somebody in Egypt. He was rich, powerful and educated. At 40 years old it would have made perfect sense for God to launch the exodus at that moment, except that He didn't. He led Moses to the back side of the desert where he would spend the next 40 years becoming a nobody. If you feel like a nobody, like you have no power, no influence, no popularity then you're in great company. If you do feel like you have all those things, God might need you to take a trip to the desert. Even when it seems like God is absent, He is in fact working. Like Israel we might not see it, but just below the surface even right now, God is in fact working. Our deliverer is coming.

There are so many striking similarities between Jesus and Moses, and for our time that we live in specifically. When Jesus was talking to Moses on the Mount of Tranfiguration (such a spiritual sounding term) it says that they were talking about Jesus "departure" which in the original Greek is exodos. Jesus was bringing about a new exodus, setting up a new kingdom. With everything going on in our world around us, what a great time to start a study on Exodus.

This was a teaching I did at The Journey on October 12. It was first planned as something that I was going to share back in August. Due to the death of my mother it I never got to share it. 2 months later I realized that this might not be a "new" Word but it is most definitely a "now" Word. If you're feeling any sort of uneasy feeling, fear, or worry about the current events in our financial markets this teaching is for you.

What does it mean to be a conduit? How did we come up with the name? What is the vision behind it?
