the new exodus
Egypt starts as an empire, but becomes a metaphor:
Egypt is a place where things are more important then people
Egypt is a place where people are treated as machines
Egypt is a place concerned with making a name for itself
Egypt is a place where motivation comes from violence
Egypt is a place where people are stuck in slavery
Egypt is a place where humanity is separated from the God who created them
And Egypt is a place that we all recognize is alive and well today, isn’t it
Maybe some of us need to leave Egypt?

At the end of the sermon we literally packed up our stuff and performed out own exodus out of the building. We walked as a congregation a few blocks to another church building where we had an elaborate, beautiful 'love-feast'. The love-feast was a seven course meal made by our church's small groups and consisted of eating, laughing, talking, singing, praising, and baptizing! It was a holy and sacred evening!
