The Test of Daily Bread

Sep 24, 2023  •  The Rev. William Stokes

Hungry and grumbling in the wilderness, the Israelites of Exodus 16 forget the Red Sea and long for the fleshpots of Egypt. Rev. Stokes calls God's gift of manna the test of daily bread: will exactly enough, given day by day, be enough for us? Drawing on a hungry cat named Felix and a seminary friend who paused to say grace over a pub hamburger, the sermon urges the trust, prayer and thanksgiving that reveal God's glory in ordinary provision.
