A dying woman stands before God’s throne and hears a question she cannot answer: who are you? This moving story opens a reflection on Israel’s journey through the desert, the bitter water at Marah, the manna from heaven, and the rock that poured out water (Exodus 15-17). The sermon shows that trials are not punishment but the place where we discover who we really are and who God is. Listen if you want to learn to trust God not only on Sunday, but also when life presses hardest.

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.
