Life is full of choices like a “choose your own adventure” story. The Bible begins with a fundamental question: Who or what is your most high?

In this ninth message, we stand with Israel on the shore of the Red Sea at "church on the beach," listening to the song of Moses in Exodus 15. There God shows Himself as utterly unrivaled: Lord over all so-called gods, Lord over all creation, and Lord over every ruler and nation. He parts the sea, drowns Pharaoh's army, and turns Egypt's pride into stubble beneath His feet, proving that salvation is His work alone. Israel contributes nothing but need; God is the Deliverer who washes away centuries of slavery, scar tissue, and shame, and leaves their former masters defeated beneath the waters.

Their song asks us a piercing question: What truly makes us sing for joy? We often pour our passion into sports, screens, and endless entertainment until we are "joyed out" by the time we come to God. This message calls us instead to a deeper encounter at our own beach moment: the cross, where Jesus stood alone as Deliverer and must become my Deliverer. When we see that our sin, guilt, and old slave masters have been washed away, not wished away, our worship grows personal and powerful. The everyday God invites us to leave our chains in the water, rejoice that our enemies are defeated beneath us, and let His unrivaled rescue story become the loudest song of our lives.
