What do you do when the sea lies ahead of you, an army is closing in behind you, and every road seems shut? This sermon takes a fresh look at one of the best-known stories in the Bible, Israel crossing the Red Sea (Exodus 14), and asks what it is really about: God’s sovereignty, our short memory, freedom, or perhaps a God who fights for us when we have no strength left? It turns out that this story from thousands of years ago is above all a picture of what Christ did on the cross for each of us. Listen before you face your own impossible.
Facing the Impossible
Exodus
We live in a world where the stronger often prevail, and they are the ones who are right. That is why we wonder if there is any hope for those whose voices no one heeds, and who do not have enough strength to stand up for themselves. The Book of Exodus tells the story of how God intervenes in the lives of slaves to make them His people, give them a new identity, and teach them how to live their daily lives with Him. And that, after all, is what we all need on our journey through life.
