EXODUS: Lessons in the Desert, Week 2

Today, Pastor Barry Jones continues in our EXODUS series with Lessons in the Desert, as he focuses on Exodus chapter 17. In Exodus 17, the Israelites complain about the lack of water, so Moses strikes a rock and water miraculously flows out. They then face an attack from the Amalekites, but with Moses' hands raised and the help of Aaron and Hur, they defeat their enemies. God promises to punish the Amalekites, and the chapter highlights the Israelites' reliance on God and the importance of unity. ABOUT THE SERIES The book of Exodus is foundational to the story of God's relationship with humanity. The pivotal events recorded in the second book of the Bible demonstrate God's great love for His people by rescuing them from slavery in Egypt, forming them into a nation and establishing a covenant with them. In the first 7 chapters we’ll see how God chose Moses – an abandoned child in a dangerous time who later commits murder as an adult – and redeemed his life to make him into Israel's great prophet, emancipator and leader. We meet at 4:00 pm in person every Sunday afternoon at 7755 Tenth Line North, Mississauga. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
