0:00.0	Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast
0:05.7	with your host, Emma, Daughter. Thanks for joining. Today, we're reading Exodus 2215 through chapter 23,
0:15.0	which raises and answers the question, what does God call his people to? In short, the answer is simple. He calls his people
0:23.6	to flourish. That's what he wants for us. When I was growing up, my cousins and I were such youth group
0:28.8	kids. We loved going to church on Wednesday night. We loved the competitions. We loved small
0:34.7	group. We loved the games. Really, the games were our favorite part.
0:39.3	But sometimes the expectations around these youth group games weren't super clear. And when you
0:45.2	really want to win, like the candy bar or whatever it was, that's super frustrating. And in most

1:33.0	flourishing with each other and with him through obedience to his law. Ever since Genesis 315,
1:39.6	God has been providing his people with ways to be in relationship with him through covenants,
1:44.7	sacrifices, and the law. Back in Genesis 12, God made a covenant with Abraham that promised him
1:51.0	land, seed, which means descendants, children, and blessing. In today's passage, we see this covenant
1:57.6	confirmed and the ten commandments given in exodus twenty expounded upon god's
2:03.4	people are not to exploit the weak and the poor exodus 22 16 through 17 and 21 27 nor are they to
2:11.9	gossip or spread false reports about their neighbor exodus 23 one they are not to look outside of God for wisdom and truth
