A single night changed everything. We revisit the Passover not as distant ritual but as a vivid picture of covenant—a people marked by the blood of a lamb, poised for freedom, and instructed to remember rescue with a meal eaten in haste. As we walk through Exodus 12, the instructions feel exacting for a reason: they anchor identity, obedience, and hope in a moment when dawn is still far off. That sign on the doorposts becomes the hinge between slavery and a future brimming with provision and purpose.

From there, we follow the ripple effects of deliverance: Egypt’s release, the surprising gift of wealth, and the striking claim that there was not one feeble person among the tribes. These aren’t random details; they’re the language of covenant blessing—health for the journey, resources for a new life, and a shared story carried in body and memory. But the deeper question rises: Why such favor? To answer it, we step back to Abraham on Moriah, where tested faith led to a sworn promise—descendants, victory, and blessing for all nations. That oath becomes the backdrop for Passover and the Exodus, revealing a God who binds Himself to His word and keeps it.

We connect that pattern forward to Jesus, the greater Lamb, whose sacrifice seals a new covenant and invites us into a life marked by trust. Faith here is not a soft feeling; it is courageous alignment with the promise—acting before proof arrives, shaping choices around God’s character rather than our fears. If you’re navigating grief, transition, or a crossroads, this story offers a map: remember what’s been promised, obey what you’ve been shown, and watch for deliverance that restores strength as well as freedom.

Blood as currency sounds unsettling at first, but it becomes a doorway into one of the most important ideas in faith: covenant. We open a fresh series by asking why blood has carried so much meaning across cultures and why Israel treated it as sacred, then connect that history to the promises God makes and keeps. Along the way, we unpack a gripping field story about Henry Morton Stanley trading his goat for a spear and gaining safe passage through a warlike tribe—a living picture of how covenant confers identity, access, and protection.

From Eden’s first covering to Noah’s altar to the moment God “cuts” a covenant with Abram, each scene builds toward a larger truth: life belongs to God, and true promise is sealed by more than words. We trace how Abraham receives a new name, a new future, and a sign that marks belonging, all while learning that human faithfulness is fragile. Then we wrestle with Jesus’ startling claim in John 6 about eating his flesh and drinking his blood, a line that scandalized hearers steeped in Leviticus. Through the cross and resurrection, that hard saying resolves into a radical invitation—union with Christ that transforms nature, not just behavior.

Expect clear takeaways and honest questions: What makes a promise unbreakable? How does covenant reshape our identity and our trust? Why does God’s faithfulness hold when ours falters? By the end, we point to the hope at the heart of the gospel: Jesus as deliverer, mediator, and life-giver who bridges the gap we cannot cross.

When the world strings lights and cues the music, grief can feel even louder. We open a tender, unhurried space to talk about loss during the holidays and how faith, honest lament, and simple daily steps can begin to steady the heart. Drawing from raw personal stories—a daughter gone too soon, a father’s hard hospital goodbye, a mother’s final year—we name what hurts and why the ache lingers, while pointing to a God whose character is compassion, not condemnation. We explore a crucial reframing: God as healer rather than the author of our pain. Through scripture, we separate the destroyer’s work from the life Christ offers, which changes how we pray, hope, and receive comfort. From there, we get practical. Instead of living in the rearview mirror of regret and blame, we practice forward focus—small, measurable actions that rebuild capacity: a walk outside, ten pages read, a room tidied, a single conversation started. Nature and beauty become therapy for the soul; art, quiet, and open skies give grief room to breathe. Purpose and gratitude round out the path. Serving others channels sorrow into meaning, tuning our hearts to notice and respond to pain with compassion. Gratitude, practiced daily, lifts our eyes to gifts that remain without denying the loss. And yes, we make space for laughter—the kind that sneaks in and reminds us joy still visits. As the holidays approach, we share gentle ways to reengage with traditions when you’re ready and offer a simple prayer for those seeking a fresh start with God.
