How is your Lenten journey going?
I must say I've really enjoyed our study of Exodus. I hope you've grown in your understanding of God and yourself through it. In the final Sermon in this series, we will focus on God solidifying his covenant relationship with the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai. God gives them instructions on how to live as his covenant people and the people commit themselves to live according to his word. God called them to be a Kingdom of Priests meaning they were to teach the nations about God by their faithfulness to His word (19:4-6). Alluding to this passage, Peter says the same of us (The church) "You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9). We are to be God's witnesses in the world; revealing more of Him to those around us by the way we live our lives. Does your life reflect his glory? Do your words and actions draw others closer to Him? Is there anything in your life that dishonors God? If so, I encourage you to repent and turn back to the God who has delivered us from slavery (to sin) and brought us into covenant relationship with him. He surely deserves our praises, our lives, our all. Please join us this Sunday for Palm Sunday and the final sermon in our Exodus series which Amy will preach. Blessings in Christ, Rev Tanya
