MOSES: RELUCTANT PROPHET
Moses is one of the most flawed and the most faithful people in our Biblical narrative. Ultimately he faces down the Pharaoh to facilitate the rescue of God’s people, but his journey there is a reluctant one. His past haunts him. His confidence is shaky. He gets frustrated more than once. Still, God will work through him to deliver a whole people to safety. This fall we’ll read the story of Moses both to learn how God was at work in ancient Egypt and how God continues to be at work in us today. God takes ordinary people like us - people with a past, people who think someone else might be a better choice, and people who frustrate easily - to share a message of hope with the world. Ready or reluctant, let’s speak out, lead the way, and never give up on the providence of God.

Church together
|
"When Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church called me as senior pastor in the fall of 2020, New Branches was already blooming." The Minneapolis Synod released a story about New Branches, among the many gratitudes, joys, decisions, and challenges navigated together, it's good to see a celebration of the New Branches partnership in this way." - Pastor Sara Read the story.
