Do Not Miss the Miracle

Preacher: Rev. Donna Claycomb Sokol, Pastor Scripture: Exodus 1:8-2:10 In his book, The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves, Shawn Ginwright suggests that the most important question we need to ask ourselves is “How do I have to be as a human being for someone else to be free?” We regularly read the book of Exodus as a narrative of God’s faithfulness to Israel, a faithfulness that enabled God’s chosen people to be set free from bondage. What if we instead sought to mine this text for lessons in liberation today—lessons that may challenge some of our previously held beliefs or understandings while calling us to embody deeper levels of compassion and faithfulness?
