Dear Friends
On Sunday we celebrate the Third Sunday of Lent. The readings appointed for the day include Exodus 17:1-7, Romans 5:1-11, Psalm 95, and John 4:5-42. We will be using the reading from Exodus and the gospel lesson in our worship.
We could title the Exodus reading, "A Grumbling, Thirsty People and the God Who Provides." We hear of God?s people complaining, bringing God up on charges that he has abandoned them to die in the desert. How often have we been those people? When life doesn?t go the way we hope or plan or dream we, too, are inclined to grumble against God and to accuse him of abandonment.
The good news is that God is faithful, even in the face of our accusations! Just as He brought forth water from the rock, he brings forth living water to quench our soul thirst. Let?s join together to worship Him this Sunday in Spirit and in truth.
Faithfully,
Becki+
