Bricks without straw - Exodus: Meeting with God - Week 2 by St Stephen's Willoughby
Exodus 5:1-23. Although God had promised deliverance for the Israelites, when Moses and Aaron approached Pharoah, he made their lives harder, not easier.
After Moses angers Pharaoh. Pharaoh increases his cruelty on the Israelites.
As the Israelites are enslaved in Egypt in Exodus 5, Pharaoh responds to Moses' pleas for their release by eliminating their resources and imposing greater burdens on their labor. They find themselves charged to make bricks from straw - overwhelmed, anxious, and left with no time or energy to clearly remember or reflect on the promises of God. In our day, we are similarly told to make bricks without straw as we are told to build our identities without any standard or framework for truth rooted in a loving and just Creator. Listen as Matt Dennings unpacks from Exodus 5 the impossible task the world gives and the freeing reality of life within the limits God sets on our lives.---For more resources and information from Anthem Church, visit us at https://www.anthemcolumbia.com/

Join us as Pastor Kevin helps us examine the polarity between spiritual naivety and cynicism that often occurs as we navigate grace and a God who welcomes us to bring our entire selves to him—the good and the bad.
Exodus 5:9-11 “Let the work be heavy (press heavily) upon the people, and they shall make with it (i.e., stick to their work), and not look at lying words.” By “lying words” the king meant the words of Moses, that the God of Israel had appeared to him, and demanded a sacrificial festival from His people. In Exo_5:11 special emphasis is laid upon אַתֶּם “ye:” “Go, ye yourselves, fetch your straw,” not others for you as heretofore; “for nothing is taken (diminished) from your work.” The word כִּי for has been correctly explained by Kimchi as supposing a parenthetical thought, et quidem alacriter vobis eundum est. Exodus 5:14-18 As the Israelites could not do the work appointed them, their overlookers were beaten by the Egyptian bailiffs; and when they complained to the king of this treatment, they were repulsed with harshness, and told “Ye are idle, idle; therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.” עַמֶּךְ וְחָטָאת: “and thy people sin;” i.e., not “thy people (the Israelites) must be sinners,” which might be the meaning of חָטָא according to Gen_43:9, but “thy (Egyptian) people sin.” “Thy people” must be understood as applying to the Egyptians, on account of the antithesis to “thy servants,” which not only refers to the Israelitish overlookers, but includes all the Israelites, especially in the first clause. חָטָאת is an unusual feminine form, for חָטְאָה (vid., Gen_33:11); and עַם is construed as a feminine, as in Jdg_18:7 and Jer_8:5.

Exodus 5 NIVBricks Without Straw1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.'”2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.”3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”4 But the king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!” 5 Then Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working.”6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.' 9 Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”10 Then the slave drivers and the overseers went out and said to the people, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you any more straw. 11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.'” 12 So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw. 13 The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, “Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw.” 14 And Pharaoh's slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers they had appointed, demanding, “Why haven't you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?”15 Then the Israelite overseers went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why have you treated your servants this way? 16 Your servants are given no straw, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!' Your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”17 Pharaoh said, “Lazy, that's what you are—lazy! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.' 18 Now get to work. You will not be given any straw, yet you must produce your full quota of bricks.”19 The Israelite overseers realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day.” 20 When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, 21 and they said, “May the Lord look on you and judge you! You have made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”Exodus 6:1-8God Promises Deliverance NIV1 Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? 23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.”6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”2 God also said to Moses, “I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty,[a] but by my name the Lord[b] I did not make myself fully known to them. 4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. 5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.'”Footnotes[a] Exodus 6:3 Hebrew El-Shaddai[b] Exodus 6:3 See note at 3:15.

The Bible is a story of how God calls people out of slavery into the Promised Land, Part 2
The children of Israel was charged by Pharaoh to build cities for them without the NEEDED supply of straw to make the bricks. This created intense frustration for the children of God because they did not have a supply of a necessary resource to build something great. Well, this is still going on today for many of God's people. Don't fret, God is able to make a way out of no way and supply you with all your needs according to His riches in Glory!If this podcast have ever been a blessing to you please drop me an email and share it with me.

“Maybe your King-Pin is resentment. Resentment holds back your good. The more you resent, the more you will have to resent; you grow a resentment track in your brain, and your expression will be one of habitual resentment.
