he God Who Rescues 8: The Divine Compass - Exodus 13:17-14:30

In my school growing up, we did a sport called orienteering. We were given a compass and a map, and we were thrown into a forest that we'd never been in, with certain markers that we had to navigate. It was a race to find all the markers through a heavy wooded area where the paths were not clear. I did well at it. I learned to trust my compass. Navigating a forest is one thing. Far more challenging is navigating our way through life with all of its dangers, risks, and complexities. We've never been this way, none of us. And there's much more at risk than just getting lost in the woods. I called the sermon "The Divine Compass." If we are to trust the divine compass, God must lead, and we must learn to trust Him. This is easier said than done. We see that in the passage we're looking at today as part of the series "The God Who Rescues." Extra reading: John 10:1-6 Preacher: Bill Dyck
