Communion, Passover & God's Divine Wrath - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S21E5

What if every time you break bread, you’re stepping into the same rescue story that freed Israel from Egypt? Every time we take Communion, we’re invited back into God’s great rescue of His people. This episode unpacks Exodus 12’s Passover—where the lamb’s blood met Pharaoh’s justice with God’s mercy—and shows how Jesus fulfills that story as our final Passover Lamb. See why Communion isn’t just a ritual but a living reminder of our past freedom, a taste of grace for today, and a promise of hope until Christ returns. “Faith is the mouth with which the soul feeds upon Christ. In the Lord’s Supper, Christ is not received into the mouth- that were carnal- but into the heart, and there spiritually and by faith.” — Charles Spurgeon 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passages: 1 Corinthians 10 • Song: Psalm 98 (Sing Unto The Lord) - Shane & Shane 📌 Supplemental Sermon Resources: • This Week's Story https://youtu.be/jCdrP9JfsLs • This Week's Sermon https://youtu.be/hlyh88zZybY • In The Arena Sermon Series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG692pIhVPakxkVKipdHtHcEIRdRYQGy9 🎙️ What We Discuss: 0:00 — Intro & Welcome 0:37 — Setting Up Passover (Exodus 12) 01:55 — “Is God Being Mean?” – Questioning Divine Wrath 05:16 — When Love & Wrath Intersect 10:45 — The Passover Seder Explained 12:48 — Participatory Communion: Ingesting & Proclaiming the Gospel 15:01 — Passover’s Cosmic Pivot: Israel’s Exodus as Redemption Prototype 19:42 — The Eucharist Debate: Missing the Gospel? 22:20 — Where Is God’s Presence?
