There used to be an expression “These things are sent to try us”. But people rarely use it these days – it seems that people don’t think about God testing us at all. But it is clear from the Bible that God does test us. What does it mean, and what does God want from us?

If we are united to Christ, then how do we live? Do we just sit around and twiddle our thumbs? In this session we look at who the Holy Spirit is, what he does, and how God commands us to live by the power of the Spirit.

After God gave the Israelites victory over the Egyptians, they praised God with the Song of Moses. This song helps us to understand why we should praise God: we, too, can join in the song of Moses.

“Did you hear the one about the army that didn’t fight?” It sounds like a joke, but it is actually a good description of this passage. In the first battle the Israelites faced together, God was teaching them something very important about what it meant to be the people of God. We as the church need to learn the same lessons.

People think that Christianity is nothing more than keeping a list of rules – i.e. the Ten Commandments. But that has been tried many times through history, and has failed every time. All you need is to look at the history of Israel.

People often say that you can be a Christian without going to church. This passage helps explode that particular myth – being a Christian is not a solitary endeavour. You can no more be a Christian on your own than you can play a game of football on your own.
