This month as a special treat we have an extraordinary set of 4 sermons from David Barrow.

We thought we should recognise the exceptional quality of David’s messages by making them available as a continuous set in February to give a 4-volume unpacking based on the Old Testament story of the Jews from Joseph to Moses. These are very high-quality presentations – every much as relevant to the twenty first century as to the BC era.

This means that we will have a 4 week break with the lectionary, which is based on three-year cycles (A, B, and C). We are now re-entering Year A, so if you want to stick to the lectionary, links to the previous Year A are accessible through the 4 links from last year below.

Sunday 29th January 2023, Epiphany 4 “Truly, deeply blessed” – Rev Dr Mark Hillis
Sunday 5th February 2023, Epiphany 5 “On Salt and Light” – Miriam Pepper
Sunday 12th February 2023, Epiphany 6 “Rope of Life” – Lothar Nowak
Sunday 19th February 2023, Transfiguration “What does it look like?” – Rev Rob Hanks
Sunday 26th February 2023, Lent 1 “Into the wilderness” – Catherine Pepper

TODAY – In the text, Moses has moved out of the Empire and is in the wilderness with his people living in tents.

God provides to their worried minds about the need of sustenance, a rain of bread comes in the morning, so their bellies have food.

He assures them hoarding of food is not needed.  Abundance in scripture is about how life is organised so that all have enough.

ALL AGE MESSAGE

God provides food for his people now living in the wilderness.

They are just to take the amount they need – no more and no less.

In this ‘economy” story we learn that goodness is about everyone getting enough food for the day and then resting.
