Christ Our Rock | Exodus 17:1-7

When we feel that life hasn’t worked out the way that we had hoped, there’s a temptation for us to start grumbling against God. We can feel embittered towards him, thinking that he has in some way held out on us, not provided for our needs, or not come through for us in ways that we expected. God is meant to be good, yet perhaps we have no experience of his goodness in our lives right now.
In this passage, we see that yet again, the Israelites are grumbling against God. They’re still wandering in the wilderness in Sinai, and they’re without water. In their anger, they proceed to put God on trial. Incredibly God submits to be judged, and he ultimately provides them with water. What we’ll see in this text is that because God endured judgement in our place, he grants us true living waters, life everlasting.

How Should I Vote? | Psalm 146

With elections in 23 days’ time, I thought it would be appropriate to take a break from Exodus and get some biblical perspective as we gear into election season. There is lots of fear and uncertainty in the air. What will we wake up to on the 30 May? Is there a God-glorifying way to participate in elections? What qualities should we be looking for in the political parties that we vote for? What should our attitude be to our government in general?
We are going to look at Psalm 146 and it is a really glorious psalm! What we see in this psalm is an exhortation not to trust in “princes” in those who rule over us. They will always disappoint us. Instead, this psalm points us to hope only in our God, who never fails us – he keeps faith forever! Because only God really cares for us, we are to worship him, and him alone.

The Bitter Taste of Sanctification | Exodus 15:22-27

We South Africans tend to love to complain, especially around a braai! We complain about the government, loadshedding, terrible drivers on the roads, lament at how our country has degenerated, and we hark back to better times. I’m guilty of this, I think most of us are. It's one thing to voice the reality around us, another to get utterly consumed by it, bitter and twisted about it as this makes us even more frustrated and really solves nothing.
In this passage we see that after three days of wandering in the parched wilderness, God leads the Israelites to a spring with bitter waters. There, instead of trusting in God’s faithfulness and goodness, the Israelites moan and complain. What we will see here is that God leads us to bitter waters in order to sanctify us.

The Song of Salvation | Exodus 15:1-21

If you’ve ever been to a stadium to watch a sports event, you’ll know that when the final whistle goes, shouts and songs of celebration erupt from the winning side throughout the stadium. The natural response to a victory is celebration in song.
How much more appropriate is it then to sing and celebrate when it is God who has won the victory? This is precisely what we see in this text. Last week we saw how God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt by his mighty hand and outstretched arm by miraculously opening up the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to pass through in safety to the other side, while destroying Pharaoh and the host of Egypt. Now, safely on the shores, the Israelites celebrate their deliverance. They celebrate God who has crushed their enemy and saved them. How do they celebrate this victory? Through a song of praise, a song that sings of the mighty salvation of our God.
What we’re going to see in this text is that because the Lord has saved us with his mighty hand and outstretched arm, we are to sing praises to his name.
