So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt An animation of Keith Green's song, "So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt....

This Sunday, May 31 (9am, 10:45am), we will continue our sermon series through the book of Exodus, Journey to Freedom.

This week we will be exploring Exodus 16:1-36 together, Receiving Our Daily Bread.

Manna.

What is it?

Actually, that is not just a question but an answer.

In Exodus 16, Israel is still in the wilderness, still facing difficulties, still complaining to Moses and Aaron.

The cycle has begun and it will continue for the next 40 years.

Discomfort. Discontent. Grumbling. Grace. Growth.

Well, that last part of the cycle (Growth) is the goal but it is not always the reality. God wanted them to grow in dependency and trust in Him but they often chose to remain in their stubborn complaining mode.

They are not too much unlike us.

That is why Exodus 16 is more than just a historical narrative. It is our spiritual narrative as well. These things were written for our admonition and instruction. These things were written to open our eyes to our own hearts as God's redeemed people stuck in the discomforts of the wilderness.

But even in our grumbling, God gives grace. Daily grace. Sufficient grace. Amazing grace.

In Exodus 16, God provides the miracle of manna...and teaches us a lot about living day by day on our daily bread of God's Word and His grace.

May God expose our hearts so that He can heal our hearts and give us His joy and strength!
