Exodus: The Test in the Wilderness

Exodus: The Test in the Wilderness

A Sermon Based on Exodus 17:1-7

We have been delivered from Egypt. We have crossed the Red Sea in baptism. We have now headed out into the wilderness on our journey to God and his promised land. What’s it like? Sometimes the journey is arduous. This sermon draws a parallel between the testing these people were receiving and the testing of this generation in the current moment. It confronts the listener with the question: how are we doing with this text? Finally, though, it seeks to bring people to the Rock of our salvation, Jesus Christ, who gushes grace to us for our grumbling and continues to go with us on the journey.

The Lord on Our Seas

The Second Sermon in a Series called SuperNATURAL based on Matthew 14:22-33

We all naturally want to believe that we are captains of our own boats and lords on our own seas. That kind of living produces fear, terror, and doubt when we encounter forces beyond ourselves. Jesus does his most profound supernatural work here when he returns us to a spiritual place where we trust his power and his grace in our storms. Listen in to see how he does it!
