Outpost 17

We will never be perfect...and that's the whole point. Exodus 16-18 / Matthew 19:16-30

If you want to know how to love...watch your pet. Exodus 13-15 / Matthew 19:1-15

The messiness of the Bible is what confirms it's authenticity.

God hardens pharoah's heart and then declares in Matthew that God desires that none should perish.

God is the ultimate underdog storyteller.

Communication is the key. Moses and Peter both fumble in their interaction with God and Jesus.

Strength in weakness

Trusting God means that we also trust ourselves. Joseph reassures his brothers. Jesus defies tradition.

Your story matters. Jacob reunites with Joseph and Jesus walks on water.

Daily Devotion. Judah is willing to take the place of Benjamin and Joseph opens up and reconciles with his brothers. Jesus mourns John the Baptist and then feeds the 5000.
