Inglewood Presbyterian Church - Kirkland WA

This week we'll be stepping away from the world of Exodus and the wilderness, and into the world of post-exilic Jews living in Persia. As Rev. Ben Park leads us reflecting on the famous story of Esther, we'll get the opportunity to see how God works even though no one mentions God throughout the entire book of Esther.

Wherever you are in your own spiritual journey, we welcome you. We too are people on a journey: becoming a church for the neighborhood as we grow in our love for Jesus, love for people, and love for life.

The liberation story from Egypt lasted 430 years. But when the moment to leave Egypt came, a scattered and enslaved people were pressed to leave oppression. The lessons of the unleavened bread reveal the nature of liberation.

One more thing, though it's more about Exodus in general than Exodus 1 in particular. A video that explores one of several ways to harmonize some of the chronological questions around the Exodus story. By all means, skip the first 5 minutes. And you can quibble with the overall theory. But it does a nice job of showing various evidences for the presence of semitic (Hebrew) slaves in ancient Egypt.

Pastor James Kumin continues in our series "Freedom" from Exodus. Dishes. Laundry. Dusting. Trash. Groceries. Brushing the dog. The stuff of everyday life. Moses meets God in the stuff of everyday, utterly non-glamorous life. He’s just taking care of his sheep, day after day…and God is there. 

From the message, some resources for seeing God in the everyday:
