Hey Everyone!
Well, as you all know, the last few weeks have been a little crazy. Two weeks ago, we didn't have Sunday School due to the Spring Bible Conference and last week we didn't have our regular Sunday School class, but instead enjoyed a time of fellowship with our Quarterly Young Adult Fellowship. So, this week we jumped back into Exodus with a study of the Israelites' journey from the Red Sea to Mt. Horeb, in the southwestern part of the Sinai Peninsula. As you will remember, it was at Mt. Horeb where God originally called Moses and sent him to Egypt, so now Moses has come full-circle.
It's probably easy for many of us to see the complaining and grumbling of the Israelites and realize how foolish it was and become critical of them. However, this is not much different than where many of us find ourselves when we complain about our jobs or finances or relationships, etc. Here, as well as countless other times in the first two books of the Bible, we see God's grace and mercy displayed clearly. Not only did God patiently endure the petty whining of his children, but he also provided for them in spite of it. What an amazing God we serve!!
Outline: Exodus 15:22-17:7
By the way, I also wanted to remind everyone of our class fellowship this Thursday night at my house. We will have a cookout starting around 6pm and then we'll hang out, play some games, and enjoy the evening together. I'll be providing the burgers and hot dogs, but we need you to sign up to help with other things. Follow this link to sign up to bring something. If you can't bring something, please don't let that stop you from coming. We're going to have a great time and don't want you to miss it!! Email me at living2serve@gmail.com if you need directions to the house.
See you then!!!
