Message: “A Covenant Broken” from Megan Brown

A message from the series "Desert Pain." (Exodus 19, 24 & 32) Relationships are rarely as simple as a romantic comedy; they require work, commitment, and faithfulness through the "ups and downs." In this message, we continue our Desert Pain series by looking at the marriage-like covenant between God and His people. While God rescued Israel from slavery and invited them into a unique relationship, the people struggled with the "wait" and turned back to old ways. Join us as we explore the reality of broken covenants, the pain it causes God, and the ultimate way back through Jesus Christ.

Graves of Craving

(Numbers 11:31-35) The desert journey wasn't just about getting the people out of Egypt; it was about getting Egypt out of the people. In this message, we explore the "Graves of Craving"—a sobering moment in Israel's history where "enough" was no longer sufficient and desire became destructive. We often think security comes from having more, but God invites us to trust that His daily "manna" is exactly what we need. Join us as we learn that true freedom isn't found in satisfying every appetite, but in trusting that what God provides today is enough.

From Series: "Desert Pain"

Drawing from pivotal wilderness and judgement narratives, this series exposes the recurring patterns of human failure - grumbling, idolatry, impatience, irreverence - and contrasts them with God’s persistent faithfulness. By viewing Israel’s struggles through the lens of our own limitations, we learn to see moments of frustration and confusion as opportunities for deeper trust, repentance, and renewed identity.
