After God delivered the nation of Israel from Egypt and led them across the Red Sea into the wilderness, the people faced serious challenges as they were alternately unable to locate water (Exodus 15 and 17) or food (Exodus 16). In today's message, Pastor John shows us how these trials were designed by God to test Israel for their good--but they responded by testing God out of their own bad nature. We are encouraged, by their example, to respond differently, and act in faith when we face difficulty.
