Welcome to One Single Story! Pastor Stephen Mizell and Pastor Jay Rivenbark are joined by Pastor Sheryl Daughety as we move through Exodus 15-17. After Israel's miraculous escape from Egypt, God leads them into the wilderness — and within days, praise turns to complaining. Today we explore why deliverance changes our circumstances instantly, but trust in God is built over time. We dig into God's provision of manna, what wilderness seasons reveal about what is truly in our hearts, and why blessing comes from obedience — not from chasing miracles. We also look at Moses as a model of grace-filled leadership and what God's patience with Israel teaches us about His mercy toward us.

Scripture Focus: Exodus 15:19 - 17:7

Key Quote: "Too many Christians live with a miracle mentality instead of a blessing mentality. Blessing comes from obedience. If you are willing to have the discipline to be obedient, you can walk in blessing every day."
