Exodus 5:1-23 Allison Otwell returns to the pulpit with her usual wisdom, charm, and well-grounded theology; now the new mother of Cora Otwell, easily the most beautiful and wonderful 3-month-old in the community (whose father continues to take his job writing these descriptions very seriously). This week, we examine a very vulnerable Moses and the reality of the suffering that can come from obeying God. Before the plagues descend and the seas part, Moses is the reluctant messenger who makes everything worse for everyone, even though he and his brother follow God's instructions to the letter.
