Intro Malawi Partnership
Maybe review our method
Tea
We - Malawi Video
We have injustices in the world
God - God Chooses You
Israel the person becomes Israel the nation
Israel the nation gets enslaved, but are still God’s promised people
All sorts of issues with slaves
abuse
After centuries of silence, the God of the patriarchs breaks through.
It is an awesome moment, and his sacred presence demands that Moses come no closer and that he remove his shoes because the ground is holy.
Exegesis
Israelites were the slaves to the Egyptians
This is a call not only to return the land to those that had rightful ownership of it, it was also a proclamation that those people would thrive in that land.
The prosperity described is best known as flowing with milk and honey
A land in which people are in right relationship with the earth, and come to recognize that the earth itself actually has more than enough to sustain us.
Moses is not seeking to know the name of God, Moses is seeking to know the character of God
God acknowledges and engages with the troubles that Israel faces
“I have come down” - God not only has an awareness of human suffering, but God enters into the storline
God knows of Israel’s oppression and is prepared to counter it
We are too often complicit with God coming down and changing things
We are uncomfortable changing things ourselves
That god said that I have come down, and then says, and the way that I have come down to solve this problem is you.
You - your faithful response to injustice
“Don’t just accept the things you cannot change, change the things you cannot accept” (Bishop Trimble)
Your faithful response is someone else's answer to prayer
Us - We get charged up in religious spaces so that we can go out
The coming back and celebrating on this mountain doesn’t really seem like a promise.
Some think that in the statement this will be the sign God may be referring to the burning bush.
In other words, the sign is God’s appearance to Moses.
Reflecting on that awesome experience would sustain him through difficult times ahead.
What happened in Malawi is as much a part of our method as a church as worship is
You have experienced the pressence of God here in the church....so go…go far to do something about the oppressions of this world
