not giving up any of his deity, but Inviting them both simultaneously and it is in that in him that we have our hope in our future, our expectation.

But what will seem important to us in eternity?

What is the last time you cared took care of a baby?

When's the last time you took care of a baby?

Some of you have it is a constant task.

While others relive the joys and Sorrows of parenting.

You're young to keep them from becoming forgotten memories or Distant Memories.

It's exciting to have babies in our church, exciting to have youth in our church.

It's exciting to have senior citizens in our church.

A healthy church is a church where you can have a baby born one week and somebody who's been a faithful member of the congregation for decades.

Die and be with Jesus forever.

The next weekend, we certainly don't hope for the 2nd, but but dying is a privilege that we're all going to get to experience.

One day, should the Lord Terry and and, and I hope that I died as well as some of the people that I've been able to sit with you.

That's a, that's a healthy church.

So I'm excited for what God is doing in our Miss.

Many of us have babies that were taking care of taking care of recently.

And it hopefully remind you Hopefully, reminds you of what it's like to be a baby yourself.

We have to be fully dependent on someone else for everything.

For everything.

By the way, we'll probably do a baby dedication, Sunday.

One of these weeks coming up so don't miss out.

But if you are interested in having your baby dedicated, let us know.

We don't baptize our babies here but we do dedicate them to the Lord.

The children of Israel had become a baby Nation.

Up until the time of The Exodus, the children of Israel were just that it was either Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or the children of Israel.

They were a collection of people who are just one big happy.

Sometimes happy family, but at The Exodus as they were in Egypt, as they had grown, as they had labored, as they had slaved away as they escaped, Exodus through the womb of the Red Sea.

As it were, they were birthed as a nation.

Not simply a collection of people are one family following after God, but God has chosen people his country of choice.

And so, as the children of Israel were in the desert, Those first few days really, they were infants in the desert.

and we see them acting as such but you to stand with me for the reading of God's word, we have a Bavaria Nice size passage before us.

Today, Exodus 15 22-25 7. Follow along with me if you will, as I read from the English Standard Version, then Moses Met has made Israel set out from the Red Sea and they went into the Wilderness of sure they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

When they came to America, they could not drink the water of Mara because it was bitter.

And therefore it was named Mara in the people crumpled against Moses.

And what should we drink?

And he cried to the Lord and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water.

The water became sweet.

They're the Lord made for them a statute and a rule and he there.

He tested them saying, if you won't feel a gently, listen to the voice of the Lord, your God and do that, which is right in his eye, and give ear to his Commandments and keep all his statues.

I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians for.

I am the Lord.

Your healer.

then they came to elim where there were twelve Springs of water in 70 palm trees and there they encamped there by the one slave finally set free after God pressured them through the Miracles that he did at the at the hand or so, maybe you say the Stick of Moses

And here they are exiting through and over dry ground over the Red Sea, all of the waters.

Destroy the The hordes of the Egyptian Army.

And there is real is on the other side.

We ended at Christmas with this wonderful song before Christmas.

This wonderful song of Moses or of Miriam.

Where we have the words that we read is our call to worship.

I will sing to the Lord, for he has, triumphed gloriously the horse and his rider.

He was thrown into the sea, the Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation and John, More credits.

Let's go, let's move.

Let's go back to the New Testament or something because that's that's a great way to end the narrative but that's not how it ends.

Sing to the Lord for his Triumph gloriously, the horse and his rider.

He has thrown into the sea, then Moses made.

Israel set out from the Red Sea.

Here they are in the wilderness.

They're probably encamped on the other side of the Red Sea and their their rejoicing, they're singing praises.

They're gone from slavery.

The promised land is ahead of them.

Their inheritance God himself lies before them, but what do they do?

Moses has to make them go.

Moses made is real set out from the Red Sea and they went into the Wilderness of sure.

So here they are literally in the desert and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

Is a feat in and of itself getting that many people to move along orderly.

And so, what you get up and you start walking and probably by the, the time that one person has started walking.

The first person has finished walking and they're, they're, they're searching for water.

Thousands upon thousands of people at the minimum and they have some livestock and have other things with them.
