September Sermon Series: Shaped in the Desert

When we think of a place like a desert, we often think of a place that is dry, hot and unwelcoming. It is a rough place to travel and an even rougher place to live. So, can you imagine God’s people in Israel as they begin their wonderings from Egypt to the Promised Land?  What is amazing is how God used such a tough environment to shape His people into a nation that would point others to the one true God. The shaping took time and the environment exposed the rough edges that need to be knocked off. Interestingly, God often uses our environment in this world to expose those rough edges that need knocked off of us. We will explore four passages in the Book of Exodus and see how God shaped His people and how He wants to shape us to be the blessing and instrument to share His love and message of hope to our world.
