Another Dead End
Have you ever felt like God led you straight into a dead end? This week in our “Ready, Set, Let’s Go!” series, we’re exploring Exodus 14 and the moment the Israelites were trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s advancing army. It looked like there was no way out—but what if dead ends aren’t the end at all? What if they’re the perfect environment for God’s deliverance? Through this story, we’ll see how God uses obstacles to prepare us for His promises. Sometimes He leads us into difficult places, not to harm us, but to ensure we won’t go back to old habits, fears, or temptations. The Red Sea wasn’t the Israelites’ defeat—it was their path to freedom, and God’s ultimate display of His glory. Let’s stop looking back and start trusting the One who makes a way where there is no way.
