Sunday Gathering - August 9th

 

Because the church’s building is still in a level 3 evacuation zone, we will not be gathering there on Sunday morning. Instead, we will gather for Sunday worship at Faith Bible Church at 1:00 pm.

 

Address: 440 W Cora Ave, Spokane, WA 99205

On August 1st, our Spokane community suffered a nearly incomprehensible disaster as fires tore through our city — including the neighborhood we love and call home, where our church building is also located.

 

To date, 6 families have suffered a complete loss of their home, property, and possessions, and nearly half of our roughly 400-member congregation has been displaced, living in temporary housing due to necessary evacuations — with friends, relatives, in hotels, or other accommodations.

 

Many people and churches have asked how they can specifically help, and we have set up a Fire Relief Fund for our church.

 

These resources will be used to care for the immediate, mid-term, and long-term needs of ITC members, and as the Lord gives opportunity, for the good and upbuilding of others in our area.

 

Although there is much tragedy, we grieve with great hope because of the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

 

If you or your church desire to help and serve our church and those we're connected to, please direct your giving to the Indian Trail Church – Fire Relief Fund.

Exodus 7 through 11

August 1, 2021 Speaker: Kyle Schwahn Series: Exodus

Passage: Exodus 6:28– 11:10

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION

- Is wanting to believe in something that will provide meaning, control and stability in our lives unique to our lives and our times? Was this also true for the children of Isreal while they were in captivity in Egypt? Was it true for the Egyptians who enslaved them? Who did the Egyptians believe in for their meaning and stability? How is this a similar to our  own rulers and others who don't believe meaning and stability come from the Lord?

- We call what God did in Egypt "plagues," but what might be a better way to describe his actions? Moses used "the staff of God" (Exodus 4:20) when pronouncing God's judgments against Pharaoh and the Egyptians. What was the staff a symbol of? Whose hand was it in? (Exodus 7:17)

- The strikes or judgments of God against Pharaoh and the Egyptians did not afflict the people of God. What does this signify?

- This situation and showdown with Pharaoh and Egypt was predicted hundreds of years earlier, all the way back in Genesis 15:13-14. When God says he will redeem his people, does it matter how long he chooses to do it in? Where does our own redemption come from? Can we trust that God will redeem us, regardless of how long it takes?
