Exodus opens by listing the descendants of Jacob who came to Egypt. Over time, the Israelites multiply and become a mighty people. Joseph and those of his generation pass, and a new Pharaoh rises who does not remember Joseph and enslaves Israel, fearing their strength. Yet the more they are oppressed, the more they grow. Pharaoh orders the Hebrew midwives to kill all baby boys, but they fear God and refuse. God blesses their faithfulness with families of their own, and Israel continues to flourish—setting the stage for divine deliverance.

Often, as your latest Bible Study journey concludes, you might ask, “What’s next?” The answer is simple—keep the momentum going. What God has begun in you during these weeks is just the beginning. He invites you to continue growing in Him, strengthen your relationships, and live on mission.

When we belong, we are not simply welcomed—we are truly wanted.

We often talk about our “before Christ” and “after Christ” stories, but there’s a deeply sacred space in the middle — the moment when Jesus meets us, just like He did with Paul on the road to Damascus. That encounter is where everything shifts. It’s where light breaks through the darkness, questions meet answers, and purpose is born.

We all have stories to tell—genuine, honest moments when God met us at our lowest, carried us through, or completely changed us. But too often, we hold back from sharing. We think our stories aren’t polished enough, dramatic enough, or relevant enough. The truth? If Jesus has touched your life, your story matters—and someone in your life needs to hear it.
