Exodus 15:22-27

Listen to Exodus 15:22-27
22 Und Mose ließ Israel vom Schilfmeer aufbrechen, und sie zogen aus in die Wüste Sur; und sie wanderten drei Tage in der Wüste und fanden kein Wasser.
23 Und sie kamen nach Mara; aber sie konnten das Wasser von Mara nicht trinken, denn es war bitter: darum gab man ihm den Namen Mara.
24 Und das Volk murrte wider Mose und sprach: Was sollen wir trinken?
25 Und er schrie zu Jehova, und Jehova wies ihm ein Holz; und er warf es in das Wasser, und das Wasser wurde süß. Dort stellte er ihm Satzung und Recht, und dort versuchte er es;
26 und er sprach: Wenn du fleißig auf die Stimme Jehovas, deines Gottes, hören wirst, und tun, was recht ist in seinen Augen, und horchen wirst auf seine Gebote und beobachten alle seine Satzungen, so werde ich keine der Krankheiten auf dich legen, die ich auf Ägypten gelegt habe; denn ich bin Jehova, der dich heilt.
27 Und sie kamen nach Elim, und daselbst waren zwölf Wasserquellen und siebzig Palmbäume; und sie lagerten sich daselbst an den Wassern.

The Bitter Made Sweet
The Bitter Made Sweet
Pastor Jack Morris

In Exodus 15, we read how the Israelites, wandering in the desert, found only bitter water to drink. But when God instructed Moses to throw a tree branch into the water, it miraculously became sweet and drinkable. This powerful moment reveals how God can transform the bitterness in our own lives into something good. Today, Pastor Jack Morris explores how God’s grace, healing, and provision are always available to turn our struggles into blessings. Join us as we discover how trusting in Him can bring renewal and sweetness where there was once bitterness.

From Red Sea to Bitter Water
From Red Sea to Bitter Water
Dr. Jeff Schreve

Why would God lead His people from the thrill of the Red Sea miracle straight into a dry, bitter desert? In this powerful message from Exodus 15, Pastor Jeff Schreve reminds us that the path to blessing often runs through the wilderness. Bitter waters are part of life, and they usually come right after our greatest victories. Discover how God uses these hard seasons to humble our hearts, strip away self-reliance, and teach us to trust Him daily—especially when life doesn’t taste sweet.
