A message from the series "The First Exodus." (Exodus 17:1-7)
As we near the end of our series following the people of Israel on their exodus from Egypt, we reach the third and final test God had for them. He had tested their hearts, their souls and now it was time to test their might.
This third test sees the people of Israel questioning God's character, are you really with us here? God's response is a powerful reminder of who He is to the people of Israel, as well as a powerful reminder for when we encounter the deserts that cause us to question who He is.
Join us today as Gavin unpacks this message and shares with us who God is.

(Exodus 19:1-6, 20:1-21)
As the Israelites complete their forty day journey and camp of at the base of Mt Sinai, God offers these former slaves the most profound invitation - to enter into a special covenant with Him and become a royal priesthood.
So often we can picture the Ten Commandments as a frustrating set of rules that ultimately restrict our freedom. But these dehumanised and demoralised people will discover, like we do, that to be human, to be released from slavery, is not to do whatever we want, but to live as God created us to live: God's rules are for our release.
Join us for this series as over 6 weeks we explore the story of the Exodus. In this book God is inviting a people who have lost their dignity and humanity through centuries of slavery into trusting Him and being restored.
In this series we will be exploring what it meant when God said; You will be my people and I will be your God.
What did this mean for the people of Israel? And what does it mean for us today as we worship the same God?
