This week we will be exploring Exodus 13 together, Following God.
Following God. That's what it all boils down to, doesn't it? He is the Shepherd. We are the sheep. He loves us. We love Him. And in loving Him, we trust Him and follow Him.
He knows the way forward, we do not.
Exodus 13 sits right in the middle between the redemption in Exodus 12 and the start of the journey into the wilderness in Exodus 14. Before Israel starts their journey, God gives some final instructions to His people.
God will guide their journey. They must learn to follow.
Even when the path takes them in a direction that they are not expecting.
There was a quicker way to Canaan but God will take them through the wilderness. And He often does the same in our lives.
Will we follow?
Or will we be tempted to turn back and go our own way?
It is the choice that faces us almost every day.
May God so overwhelm us with His goodness and grace that we trust Him even when our path takes us through the wilderness!

This Sunday, April 19 (9am, 10:45am), we are excited to have Dr. David Klingler as our guest speaker. Dr. Klingler will be speaking from the book of Proverbs, Don't Be a Fool!
David Klingler is the professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is also the host of the Teach Me the Bible podcast. In his college days, David played quarterback for the Houston Cougars (1988-91) and was a Heisman Trophy finalist. He was drafted in the first round by the Cincinnati Bengals and played six seasons in the NFL. He certainly brings a unique perspective on what really matters and what really satisfies in this world!
May God use His Word in our lives to give us wisdom in this present age!

Pastor Ken Courville teaches on Exodus 12:28-51.
