Ever feel like God is far away? Desert seasons can feel dry, confusing, and lonely—but they may be the very place God is shaping you most. In this message from Fire & Cloud: A Desert Season, we look at the life of Moses in Exodus 2 and discover how God uses solitude, healing, and preparation in the desert to draw us closer to Him. No season is wasted. Even in the desert, God is present.
Moses spent forty years running from his past, but God met him in the wilderness with a burning bush and a new call. This encounter shows us a God who pursues us with love, inviting us to stop running and step into His calling.
Pastor Brent leads our discussion today as we continue our series on the Book of Exodus.
Wednesday Night Community is back! Join us for The Bible that Jesus Read: 11 Weeks Through the Old Testament. We’ll explore the very Scriptures Jesus studied, quoted, and proclaimed as pointing to Him, uncovering how His story was written centuries before His arrival in Bethlehem.
The story of Moses in Exodus shows us that God is always leading His people out of something and into something greater. Moses’ life begins in chaos, marked by abandonment, identity struggles, and dysfunction. Yet, God uses his broken story to lead Israel out of bondage and into freedom. In the same way, our stories—both the good and the painful—are redeemed and woven into God’s larger story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. To find our way back to God, we must first know our story, bring it to Him, and allow Him to transform it.
Launch weekend of Timberline’s series through the book of Exodus. The same God that remembers his people in the midst of their oppression and struggle is still and forever the same God who faithfully and actively remembers his people still. Only in our time, he chooses to work in and through his people (the church) to bring liberation, salvation, and establishment to others!

This message closes out our Stories We Thought We Knew series with one of the most well-known accounts in Scripture: Daniel and the lions’ den. In this sermon, Pastor Donny uses the story of Daniel in the lions' den to teach about handling life's challenges without compromising faith. Donny shares a personal story from his military service in Kenya, where he heard an actual lion while walking alone at night, using this experience as a metaphor for the "lions" we all face—difficult situations like career transitions, health concerns, or financial struggles. Drawing from Daniel's experience in Babylonian captivity, the sermon presents three key principles: know your non-negotiables (distinguishing core convictions from preferences), stay faithful even when it costs everything (like Daniel's commitment to prayer despite the king's decree), and keep your eyes fixed on God rather than the problems. Donny illustrates these points with artwork by British artist Briton Riviere, depicting Daniel in the lions' den. The central message to this sermon encourages believers to not compromise their faith and to focus on God and His Word instead of life's roaring challenges.
Daniel represented a man that stood firm in his faith despite circumstances, a country, and a culture that threatened to sweep him away from the Lord. How do we develop the awareness, strength, and commitment that is able to withstand even the strongest tides against us?
