The Two Stories
This week we review the story of the story of the Israelites, as they are delivered from Egypt, and begin to know God. The world tells its own story. Do we believe God? Do we fear Him? Trust Him? Obey Him? […]
The Place of Strife
Sermon text: Exodus 17:1-7 This week we look at the continued journey of the Israelites in the dessert. As they follow God’s leading through the dessert, they demand water when they find none. What is it they want? What is it God experiences from His people? What is it we ask of God? What is […]

The Finger of God
