9.8.24 Message: Quest – Leaving Home

Quest: Leaving Home (Exodus 13:17-21)

Leaving Egypt was not a pleasure excursion for the Hebrew people. But the story of their pilgrimage in the desert in Exodus reminds us that traveling, moving, leaving home, is part of our faith tradition.

Each of us finds ourselves sometime in life needing to leave the familiar in order to grow and to thrive. Beginning a journey involves leaving “home”–whether that is a physical place in order to explore another part of the world or changing a mindset that keeps us from expanding our spiritual capacity.

What must we do to embark into the unknown?
