The Exodus series from Video Bible Talks is a six-video series of talks from the Old Testament Bible book of Exodus. This series takes us through the entire book of Exodus, with discussion questions to consider individually, or use as a part of your small group conversations.
In this fifth video, we look at Exodus 32 and see how even though God’s people had been rescued from slavery in Egypt, they were still slaves to sin in their hearts.
In this fourth video, we look at Exodus 18-31 and see how the new life God gives means living right with God and living right with other people. This new life is how life works best, and it is the life we get to live because of what the LORD has done for us.
In this second video, we look at Exodus 5-11 and see how God wants His people to know him as the LORD God of salvation. He is a promise-keeping God, who wants to be close to His people. Those who reject God will come to know Him as the LORD God of judgement.
In this third video, we look at Exodus 12-17 and see how God is the LORD who makes a way where there is no other way, keeping us safe from our enemies and even making a way through death itself.
This first video explores Exodus 1-4, when God’s people were slaves in Egypt. They had forgotten the LORD as their God, but God promised to rescue them from slavery and restore their relationship with him as their God.
Sin is often connoted to the really bad deeds, like murder or stealing. Yet we explore in this video that sin is really imperfection: missing the mark of God’s perfect standard for humankind.
A sermon or talk intro video for a teaching series on Jesus Christ in the Bible.
Imagine having a baby when you're 100 years old! That's what happened to Abraham and Sarah, because God is powerful to keep his promises and gave them a son, even in their old age.
Sarah sent Ishamael and Hagar away but God promised to make Ishmael into a great nation and take care of him, even though he wasn't the promised son. Abraham trusted God, and God provided a safe place for them to live.
Imagine having to give up what is most precious to you! Could you do it? God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham obeyed, even though it was scary. But then God provided a sheep to be sacrificed instead. Because Abraham had not even withheld his only son from God, God gave him a BIG promise of many descendants and great blessing!
God sent a special sign to Abraham's servant to show that Rebecca was the right choice to be Isaac's wife! Isaac and Rebecca were married, and God's promises of a great nation began to be fulfilled! Today, we can look at God's word to guide us even when things are difficult.
Jacob and Rebecca tricked Isaac into giving Jacob his blessing, instead of Esau. When we lie to each other, there are sad consequences. But amazingly, God is still able to work through people's sin to keep his promises.
The night before Jacob met Esau, he wrestled with a mysterious man! The man gave Jacob a new name: 'Israel', which means 'to wrestle with God'. The struggle showed Jacob that he could trust God, even when it was scary!
Jacob had a dream of a stairway to heaven filled with angels, with God at the top. God made the same 3 BIG promises he'd made to Abraham to Jacob of many descendants to fill the promised land, and enjoy great blessing.
In the last episode of 'What was it like to be with Jesus?', Jesus rises from the dead! He has defeated death and we can come to him for forgiveness and eternal life, when we will know fully what it's like to be with Jesus.
In the fifth episode of 'What was it like to be with Jesus?', we see that Jesus' death was all part of God's plan to save us from sin. We can say "sorry" to God and "thank you" to Jesus for rescuing us!
God made three BIG promises to Abraham to do with the promised land, lots of children, and great blessing. These promises were God's grace to those who didn't deserve it but were loved by God.
Laban tricked Jacob the same way Jacob tricked Esau. But despite Laban's lies and deceit, God looked after Jacob and his family. God's plans are much bigger than human plans so nothing can get in the way of him keeping his promises.
Ben helps Bernie out by reading the instruction manual to assemble a cement mixer. God’s people in Jerusalem listened for hours to God’s Word, so they returned to living in the way that God instructs.
Before Ben properly moves into his new home, he counts up all of his possessions to make sure he has everything he needs (and throws out anything he doesn’t need).
Arguments are breaking out in Ben’s construction site - what will he do to keep the peace? When Nehemiah’s team faced internal quarrelling, he had to remind them of God’s goodness and provision up to that point.
Ben is in danger! Bernie is attempting crazy stunts to try and stop Ben and Tommy from building. He needs to protect his workers, just as Nehemiah had to protect God’s people while their enemies were threatening them.

Lot moved to Sodom which had an impressive town and lots of green spaces. But Abraham didn't focus on what looked best. Instead, he trusted in what God had in store for him. Today, we can trust God and turn to him when making decisions by reading God's word in the Bible and praying.
The story of the Flood teaches us how S.I.N. makes God feel, how God punishes sin and how God provides a rescue for those who trust in him. Whenever we see a rainbow in the sky, we can remember God's promise to rescue those who trust in him through Jesus!
The Fall is when S.I.N. came into the world. Sin is when we say 'Shove off God, I'm in charge, No to your rule.' In the garden, the man and woman lived happily in relationship with God - until the crafty serpent tempted them to eat fruit forbidden by God.
Genesis means the "beginning". When the world began, God didn't need any ingredients or art supplies - there was nothing there. Instead, God created the world by speaking.
When we gather together for teaching, prayer, community and remembering Jesus's death and resurrection, God's promise is that he will grow his church. How will you see his work continues?
Followers of Jesus have believed his message and accepted his invitation. If you're not yet a follower of Jesus, having now heard his message, will you accept his invitation to follow him as Lord and receive the Spirit?
How ready are you to speak up and speak out about Jesus? The same Holy Spirit from Acts is sent to live in every follower of Jesus, so God can work through us, and enables us to say the things that need to be said so people can be saved.
Jesus has left us with an important job to do: continue his work, by being his witnesses, while we wait for him to return from heaven. We're not alone: armed with the Bible and the Spirit, we have God's words and God's power.
The most important decision is the decision to follow Jesus as Lord - or not. This is a decision should be made carefully, based on what God has said about Jesus, and prayerfully, asking him to help you to make the right choice.
Doctor Folly is finally defeated by Stu Dent and Professor Wise in the Wisdom Lab! Being wise isn't about being clever and knowing lots, it's about being right with God and sticking with him even when times are hard.
Doctor Folly is jealous of Professor Wise and tries to get rid of all the praise she receives! The Pharisees tried a similar thing with Jesus on Palm Sunday. They tried to shush the crowd and stop them from cheering Jesus, God's special king.
The one place we can trust to find the truth is God's Big Book of Wisdom, which helps us unpack what's going on when we suffer, how sin fits in, whether we're being punished and where God is when things go wrong.
Nurse Left learns a lot about what trusting those in charge looks like, just like the disciples do in our Bible story. They couldn't drive an evil spirit out of a boy because they hadn't prayed to God. But we can have confidence that God is always listening and loves to answer our prayers!
The Pharisees were the goody two shoes of their day. But Jesus shows us that God’s law is about loving others and God, not obeying rules. We don't keep the rules perfectly or love God and others perfectly. But Jesus died for proud law-breakers like you and me so that we can be forgiven.
Jesus came to find and save lost sinners, like Zacchaeus, and welcome them into God's family. How amazing that Jesus wants to be friends with sinners!
Levi was a traitor with a big S.I.N. problem. He needed Jesus to change his heart. The Pharisees thought they were healthy, and didn't need Jesus. Just like Levi, when we trust that Jesus has saved us through his death on the cross, we can be forgiven.
Jesus went to a party where everyone thought they should have the best seat, so he told a story to show that following God is about loving him and putting others first.

A spoken word lament that honestly unpacks the rawness of grief and suffering, and then points to God who holds our fragile hearts, strengthens our stumbling faith and who died so we can live in hope now of an eternally perfect future.
The Bible isn't boring and irrelevant! It's full of exciting stories about heroes, villains, betrayal and the greatest king ever. It's been translated into hundreds of languages. And most importantly, it's how God speaks to us today.
Both God and cancel culture take wrong things said or done seriously. But where cancel culture leaves no room for mistakes, repentance, forgiveness or grace, God does.
...and 8 ways we can do the same. In this 1 minute sound bite, Dan Marks takes us through 8 ways Jesus treated women by empowering, celebrating, protecting, honouring, respecting, valuing, teaching and confiding in them.
Throughout history and cultures, we have reached out for a god. But only God has already reached out to us in Jesus, and verified his deity with the resurrection. So which God is the 'right God'?
