  • A PECULIAR TREASURE

    A PECULIAR TREASURE
    Apr 12 2026
    In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Exodus 19–34 and step into the moment where God invites His people into a covenant, not just to be freed, but to become something more. At Mount Sinai, God reminds Israel that He has already rescued them, carried them on eagle’s wings, and brought them to Himself. Now He invites them into a deeper relationship. If they are willing, He will make them a treasured people, a holy nation. The commandments are not given to restrict them, but to strengthen that relationship. Like any meaningful relationship, love grows alongside commitment, trust, and expectations, and God is inviting them into something richer, not something heavier. Even when the people falter and turn to the golden calf, the story does not end. Instead of walking away, God continues reaching, forgiving, and renewing. What was broken is not the end of the relationship. It becomes part of it. Moses speaks with God as a friend, and we see that mistakes do not disqualify us from closeness with Him. They often become the very place where grace, mercy, and transformation begin. This episode invites us to see the covenant not as pressure, but as an invitation. The same God who rescues at the Red Sea and ultimately through Easter is the God who stays, teaches, and walks with us daily. He is merciful, patient, and full of goodness, always working to draw us closer. And just like Israel, we are learning that real freedom is not just being saved, but becoming something new with Him.

  • THIS IS MY GOD

    THIS IS MY GOD
    Apr 5 2026
    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.
