We Are Emmanuel

In his preach, Neville Jones explored Exodus 16 and reflects on two main themes: ‘grumbling in the desert’ and ‘God’s miraculous provision’. Drawing from the Israelites’ complaints after being freed from Egypt, Neville highlights how easily we forget past hardships and God’s grace when faced with new discomforts. He challenges us to examine our own hearts for dissatisfaction and mistrust, reminding them that desert experiences are often where God shapes us most deeply. He then connects the manna from heaven to Jesus Christ, the ultimate provision from God, who sustains us daily. Neville encourages us to embrace desert seasons, resist grumbling, and recognise Jesus as the true bread of life who meets our needs even in the hardest times.
