There are some very common themes that run throughout God's word, from Exodus all the way through the New Testament. One of those themes is man's determination to do things his own way, and reject God's intervention. A great example of this is found in Exodus chapter sixteen, when the people of Israel found themselves in need of food and water - and there was none to be found.

The story Lloyd will share with us today is a familiar one. The people of Israel, fleeing from Egypt, find themselves in the wilderness, without food or water. Now, God is fully prepared to feed them, and teach them a lesson about trust and faith.

How do you react when life deals you a tough time? Do you complain and whimper? Or do you take an attitude of acceptance, that God has something good in mind through this trial? A good example of the right and wrong attitude toward trials is found in Exodus fifteen.

If I were to sum up Pastor Lloyd's message today in just two words, I'd choose "God provides". We're going through the book of Exodus right now, and if there was ever a group of people who needed God's provision during a tough stretch, it was Moses and his people fleeing from Egypt.

You know, we Christians may be pretty good at explaining our faith to others, but often times we're not real good at putting that faith into action. You know who really notices that? God. He's shown a light for us to follow - in faith. He also did the same thing for the Israelites fleeing Egypt in Exodus fourteen. Let's join Pastor Lloyd right now, and discover how we can better put our faith in action - for our benefit and for God's glory!

On today's program, we'll open our Bibles to Exodus chapter thirteen, for a study that once again reminds us that there's no greater protection to be found in this world than the protective arms of God. As God lead the Israelites out of Egypt, He showed them the way in a clear and distinct manner.

Today Lloyd takes us once again to the book of Exodus, and the actual exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. This study is part of our series in Exodus called "Deliverance" In chapter thirteen we see a great example of God's protective nature for His people. It is the same protective love you and I can experience today. We may not need deliverance from slavery in a physical sense, but we certainly need deliverance from the slavery of sin.

George Barna once said, "A good leader is one who is able to motivate people; one who is capable of making good decisions, even under pressure or in conditions of uncertainty; one who can guide people through actions as well as words." As we'll discover today, That was certainly true of a great man in the Old testament named Moses.

In the book of Exodus, we've been discovering the meanings behind some of the Jewish traditions of the Old Testament. You may be asking yourself what all this has to do with being a Christian in the twenty-first century. As we're about to see on today's broadcast, it's a whole lot more relevant to today than you may think.

Without a doubt the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the defining moment in human history, because our redemption from sin, and our road to Heaven was paved by that one event. This miraculous event was foretold many times in the Old Testament, including in Exodus. Open your Bible with us to Exodus chapter twelve as we join pastor Lloyd.
