What do you do when a great spiritual victory gives way to grey ordinary days, and suddenly what you need most is missing? Three days after crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites stand at the bitter waters of Marah and begin to grumble, with the lessons of manna and water from the rock still ahead of them (Exodus 15-17). This sermon shows that each of us carries two lists, reasons to complain and reasons to be grateful, and trials reveal which one we reach for more often. Listen and learn how to walk through bitter places without losing sight of a good God.

The book of Exodus lies ahead of us.
