Description:
At the time of recording, Max Hill was a senior MDiv student at Southeastern. The sermon opens with prayer (0:00-0:52). Mr. Hill reads from Exodus 17:1-7 (1:00-3:00). Mr. Hill uses the phrase “Is the Lord among us, or not?” from the text to guide his sermon. He briefly reviews the story of the Exodus and discusses how this story shows the ways humans behave in distress. The people looked for a scapegoat, they looked back at Egypt, and they got into a fight (3:00-8:50). God’s response to Moses’s prayer shows the goodness of God and the theme that God provides for his people’s needs when they call on him (8:50-12:05). Mr. Hill states that humans will all at some point be in crisis and often react in ways like the Israelites did. The good news is Jesus Christ brings the living water and his presence which we need in those times and for the future (12:05-17:54). Speaker closes in prayer (17:54-18:58).
