Don't Miss This Study

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Exodus 14–18 and walk through the defining journey of Israel, from the Red Sea to the wilderness, discovering what it means to say, “This is my God.”

What begins at the edge of the sea, with fear on every side and no way forward, becomes a powerful reminder that God is a rescuer. As the waters part and dry ground appears, we see a God who fights for His people, who makes a way where there is none, and who invites us to stand still and trust Him. These moments echo the heart of Easter, a God who delivers, saves, and leads His people out of bondage into new life.

As the journey continues, new struggles arise. Bitter water, hunger, thirst, and exhaustion reveal how quickly faith can turn into fear. Yet over and over again, God responds with mercy. He heals what is broken, provides daily bread, brings water from unexpected places, and reminds His people that He is still with them. Each chapter becomes another witness that even in the wilderness, God has not left.

This episode invites us to see our own lives in these stories. The same God who parted the sea is the God who walks with us through our daily battles. And just like Israel, we are learning again and again who He is, a God who rescues, provides, heals, and stays. A God who shows up not just once, but every single day.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman begin the book of Exodus

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman walk through Holy Week and focus on the events leading up to Easter, inviting us to discover who Jesus Christ is through each day.

What begins on Palm Sunday with a triumphant entry quickly turns into a deeply personal journey through the final week of the Savior’s life. As the crowds ask, “Who is this?” each day of Holy Week becomes an answer, revealing a Savior who is worthy of praise, who defends the overlooked, who teaches with simplicity and power, and who notices even the smallest acts of faith.

From cleansing the temple to quiet moments we do not fully see, to the Last Supper and the cross, this week shows the heart of Jesus Christ. A Savior who cares deeply, who stands up for others, who serves with love, and who continues working even in the waiting. Good Friday carries the weight of sacrifice, and Saturday reminds us that God is still present, even in silence.

Then comes Easter Sunday, where everything changes. What began in grief becomes a miracle, and what felt like defeat is revealed as victory. This episode invites us to see Easter not just as a single day, but as a story we can live in, where Jesus Christ continues to bring hope, redemption, and new life.

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Exodus 7–13 and reveal how the story of the plagues and the Passover is ultimately an Easter story about Jesus Christ.

What begins with Moses standing before Pharaoh unfolds into a powerful reminder of who God is — a God who patiently reaches, teaches, and invites. Even through the plagues, the Lord is not just delivering Israel, but continually giving opportunities for hearts to soften and recognize Him.

At the center of it all is the Passover. A lamb without blemish, blood on the doorposts, and a people being saved from death — all pointing directly to Jesus Christ. This moment becomes more than a historical rescue; it becomes a pattern of redemption. The same way the Israelites were delivered, we are reminded that Christ is the Lamb who saves, whose sacrifice allows death to pass over us and gives us a new beginning.

This episode invites us to see Easter more clearly — not just as a single event, but as a story written throughout scripture. A story of a God who sees, hears, and remembers, and who is always working to rescue His people. Because Easter is the promise that through Jesus Christ, deliverance is real, redemption is possible, and a new life can begin.
