"What's Next?"
"What's Next?"
Exodus 14-15
When Moses and the Israelites escaped Pharoah, crossed the Red Sea, and entered the wilderness, everything changed. Their identity as slaves changed. Their environment changed. Their daily lives changed. Everything. Now the big question was: what's next?
A whole lot of wandering came next. The Israelites didn't know it at the time, but forty years would stretch out ahead of them. Their belief in God would be strained. Their endurance would be tested. Even knowing they were headed to "The Promised Land" didn't provide a real answer. What was that going to be like?
How is our faith challenged when we are wandering in the wilderness of discernment? How do we understand God in our midst? What awaits us and what could "the promised land" mean for our church and our community?
