After celebrating a number of great graduates from various stages of education, we turned in the sermon to Exodus 5. From this text, we are given a vivid illustration of how Israel wavered from belief and trust in God when life became difficult and disappointments grew. The dangers of how disappointments can impact us are real and present in all people, in all ages - so Christians have much to consider and learn from this negative example of Israel in Exodus as we too navigate these times today.
