Listen "Exodus 17: Uplifted Hands & Staff of ☧ Wins and Waters"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Dan Eddy, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Beloit, Wisconsin, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 17.
“Take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out.” Another water plague is reversed in Exodus 17, demonstrating both God’s supreme power and as well as His infinite mercy, leading His Israelite flock like a shepherd. When Israel goes out to fight the Amalekites, Joshua and Moses falter, showing that it is really “the staff of God” which wins the battle. Just like the uplifted staff, the cross of God wins the battle for all who are in Christ the Good Shepherd.
