When Moses recounted the story of Exodus, his father-in-law, Jethro, a Midianite priest, affirmed his faith in the God of Israel. This incident depicts God’s desire to reveal Himself to the nations through the events of the Exodus. It is also a pointer to the greater Exodus and God’s plan for the nations to come to the worship of God through Jesus Christ.

Easter Message

Romans 14:1-12 As Christ followers, it is critical we are unified in the 'essentials' of our faith. However, there are many behaviors, practices and lifestyle choices that the Bible does not specifically or fully speak to, often resulting in division and conflict among Christians. In Romans 14, the Apostle Paul refers to these as 'disputable matters'. The question Paul addresses is 'How do we stay unified and love each other as Christians when we don't agree on things the Bible is silent on or doesn't specifically speak to?"

In the wilderness, the Israelites faced an unprovoked attack from the Amalekites. Responding to this opposition called for the Israelites to respond in prayer and fight the battle. When we face opposition from the enemy that hinders God’s plan for our lives, it calls for prayer and effort on our part. The Lord reveals yet another name in this passage: that He is our banner, and in Him we have victory!

How do we respond to life's uncertainties and hardships? If we are not careful, we can seek to manipulate or force God to meet our perceived needs. God wants us to seek Him first and find our contentment in Him. The provision of waters at Rephidim is a reference to the living waters Jesus offers all who trust in Him.

The Apostle Paul challenges us to 'wake up from our slumber' and to give our lives to the two things that will last forever: to love God and to love people. So how do we love and glorify God by loving people?
