We are continuing in Exodus. This week we see the first battle Israel enters into as a holy nation. This is important for us to consider because our experience in this world is like the experience of Israel in the wilderness. We are the church militant, and we need to remember the battle we are in. The text is Exodus 17:8-16.
We will consider these five points from the text:
1. The significance of the battle.
2. The nature of the warfare.
3. The difficulty of the warfare.
4. The promise of God associated with the warfare.
5. The fulfillment in Christ.
