Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters. How do we hold onto hope for justice, as we regularly see those in power “push away the needy in the gate”? How do we hold faith through the injustice? What is our hope?

Jehovah Jireh. We begin with the prototypical story of our ancestors’ faith: Abraham’s trust that God will fulfill God’s promises, even as God asks for the relinquishment of the promise’s fulfillment.

Ten Words. Posting the 10 Commandments in every Texas public school classroom is a bad idea… But remembering what they are, how practically the high concept of “love God, love your neighbor” can be rendered, is a good idea.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want, But If You Try Sometimes... Pastoral leaders love the stories about Moses’ burnout, his frustration with the people, the good advice that he get some help and learn to delegate. Being in partnership with God is a limit experience – meaning, we’re pushed, sometimes, just beyond the edges of our capacity – and this is where God meets us. (And – what would it look like to be one of the “able men among all the people” (v. 21)? Ready for responsibility, waiting to be asked?)

Bread of Heaven. Here is Israel’s experiential learning about God’s economy. It stands in stark contrast to Pharaoh’s economy, where you work your fingers to the bone (what do you get? bony fingers!) and can barely sustain yourself. In God’s gracious economy, there is enough for every day plus more so that rest is built in. This is the “bread of heaven” vs. the “bread of capitalism,” in our context.

Singing Our Lives. A service of song and Dayenu stories to mark our arrival at the point in the Exodus story where the Israelites stop and sing after finally escaping the pursuing Egyptian army.

Loins Girded, Shoes On. The first “Pass-Over” meal calls for the people’s readiness. When God is about to do something, what does it mean for us to be ready, alert, dressed, and available?

A Name, a Plan, a Partnership. God announces GodSelf in the burning bush, and announces an ambitious plan to liberate Israel with Moses as God’s agent. Moses argues. God negotiates. “This is Who I Am,” God says, in word and in (promised) action. And who God is – is in partnership with Moses. Dr. Barber has said, “God will not do what we can do; that is not what God is for.”
