9:30 a.m. Classic Worship

Leading a Community in the Wilderness picks up right where Exodus 15 leaves off: after the Red Sea, Pharaoh’s defeat, and Miriam’s joyful dance of deliverance. But once they step into the wilderness, Israel’s song of praise quickly turns into grumbling (Exodus 16:2–3). Today, we’ll look at how Moses and Aaron lead this community through that transition. Through Moses’ prophetic guidance and pastoral care, and Aaron’s priestly role in gathering the people for worship and preserving God’s testimony, they help a liberated yet anxious people move from celebration to formation, from complaint to trust, and from slavery to Sabbath rest.
