The manna in the book of Exodus is all about the self-giving grace of God. In Exodus 16 God's provision of manna demonstrates God's mercy and desire to provide for his own people. The greatest provision he has given is Jesus. In fact, Exodus 16 is actually all about Jesus. Jesus is God's way when there is no way. And Jesus is always enough.

The God Who Will Have A People
December 15, 2019 • Jonathan Parnell
What God intended first for a person (Adam), and then a people (Israel), has now been realized in a Person (Jesus) and a people (the church). The church is the people of Jesus. We are men and women brought into fellowship with God by God through faith. We are created new in Jesus. We are forgiven by the cross of Jesus and filled with the Spirit of Jesus, to walk in the way of Jesus.
Jethro's Surprising Visit
December 8, 2019 • Kevin Kleiman
The story of the Exodus is a paradigm by which Christians can understand our own salvation. Through the first seventeen chapters of Exodus, Yahweh consistently and convincingly delivers his people with miraculous, supernatural power. But as we come to Exodus 18, we something much more ordinary. In chapter 18, we see how normal, everyday relationships are transformed by the good news of what God has done. As we review Exodus 18, we see Moses and Jethro’s interactions, and we learn from two very different people, and we see practically, how our lives should look differently after experiencing the saving grace of God. We are reminded to tell the whole story of God’s rescue, take a risk and offer good advice, and to happily receive feedback in humility.
