Wonder Working God

This weekend at Eastbrook Church, we continued our series “Expecting a Miracle” with a message entitled “Wonder Working God.” This message was an exploration of the miraculous events and plagues brought upon Egypt by God in order to bring the Israelites to freedom in the exodus, as recorded in Exodus 7-12. In one part of the message I delivered an aside on the question of whether it is rational to believe in miracles or not.

The outline for the message is below. You can listen to the message online here or download it via the Eastbrook web-site here. You can also visit Eastbrook Church on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The Heart of God and the Plan of God (Exodus 2:25; 7:1-6; 9:14-16)
