‘Houston, we have a problem’, three hundred thousand kilometres from Earth, in the crippled Apollo 13 capsule, three astronauts begin a fight for survival. From that scene the sermon takes us to the shore of the Red Sea (Exodus 14), where the Israelites stood in a humanly hopeless situation: the sea before them, Pharaoh’s army behind. This story shows that God is never taken by surprise by our crisis, that hard moments reveal what is truly hidden in the heart, and that He can open a way where no one else sees one. Listen if you too are standing with your back against the wall today.
When There Seems to Be No Way Out
Exodus: The Road to Freedom
How do we navigate life when we sometimes lack the strength to get started, and even when we manage to set out on a journey, we’re not quite sure which direction to take? The Israelites faced similar challenges when they were still slaves in Egypt. But God Himself-the One who liberates, teaches, guides, and gives a new identity to all who are lost-once again stepped into their story.
The book of Exodus lies ahead of us.
