Week 4 Getting from Here to There Moses' Mission - Willing Hearts - a talk by Canon Andrew Evans
Inspired by Exodus 35. 20-24,
29
When God gave to the people of Israel the
promise of liberation and a new land, he did not promise that getting there
would be easy. And over the last few
weeks we have been looking at just how difficult it actually was. Yet God never abandoned his people, even
though they showed themselves again and again not to be truly faithful. And although we are coming to the end of this
series, and our exploration of Exodus, the Israelites have to go on for another
four books in the bible (Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua) before
they do eventually settle in the Promised Land.
Phew, how many worn out pairs of sandals is that?

Inspired by Exodus 16.1-8 and Numbers 11.18-21
Moses got a BIG job from God. Take a whole nation used to living in slavery and lead them out into the unknown chasing some vague idea of there being a ‘promised’ land somewhere ‘out there’.

Week 1 Getting from here to there. Moses’ Mission - Vision of a Promised Land - a talk by Canon Andrew Evans
Inspired by Exodus 3.1-8)
The book of Exodus tells this amazing story of how
God rescued his people. A young chap called Joseph, bit of a daddy’s favourite
who liked to dress sharply, really ticks off his brothers. They dump him in the
desert and go home to tell the old man some wild animal got him. However, wanting a bit of pocket money
themselves they decide to sell their brother into slavery. Cut a long story short (the Bible can go on a
bit), Joseph saves his brothers and the whole people of Israel and leaves a
story which makes Andrew Lloyd Webber a lotta money in the West End (London not
Cairo).
