September 2020

September 6, 2020 – Jonathan Chute, “Called Away”

Sermon: sermon

This week’s scripture tells of Moses’ encounter with God in the wilderness of Midian. Having fled for his life from Egypt, Moses has married and begun a family in a new land. He is tending his father in law’s sheep in the mountains when an unusual sight catches his attention – a bush is burning, but not burning up. As he moves in to look closer, he hears a voice. It turns out that God has something new for Moses to do with his life. Exodus 3:1-15 provides the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “Called Away.”

September 13, 2020 – Jonathan Chute, “Crossing Over”

Sermon: sermon

Our scripture for this week tells what happens as the people of Israel begin their journey to freedom in the Promised Land. After initially agreeing to let them go, Pharaoh changes his mind. He sends his army to pursue and defeat their former slaves. The Egyptian forces trap the departing Hebrews against the waters of the sea. It seems that there is no way out for Moses and the people. Yet God does not forsake them. In the face of disaster and destruction, God leads them safely to the other side. Exodus 14:19-31 is the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “Crossing Over.”

September 20, 2020 – Jonathan Chute “Fresh”

Sermon: sermon

This week’s scripture tells what happens after the people of Israel arrive on the other side of the sea, following their escape from the Egyptians. God has delivered them from destruction. They are safe – for the moment. It turns out, however, that fresh, new fears are already at hand. They are strangers in a strange land. Will God let them starve in the wilderness? Exodus 16:2-15 is the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “Fresh.”

September 27, 2020 – Jonathan Chute, “The Complaint Department”

Sermon: Sermon

This week’s scripture continues the travels and travails of the people of Israel, as they journey on their way to the Promised Land. While their hunger has been satisfied, now they cry out in thirst. Again, God responds to their need, and provides more than enough for them to drink. But Moses gives an interesting name to the place where they complained so bitterly. He calls it Massah and Meribah, which means roughly “gripe and moan”. Exodus 17:1-7 is the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “The Complaint Department.”
