On the Road to Shur
We’ve been looking at wilderness stories from the Bible. I want to share one with you that speaks to our current situation. Most of the biblical stories are small stories which make up one great overarching narrative telling of God’s particular plan to bring salvation to the world. This one might be regarded as a bit of a spin-off, the way that minor characters in TV series sometimes emerge to have programmes of their own. This story runs alongside the main story of Abram’s call to be the father of nations, and its important because it tells us that God cares for those who might not be major players in the great story, and that might be you. It’s a story of a vulnerable girl fleeing along the road to Shur. The road to Shur was a desert path which linked Canaan to Egypt. The video will be premiered on Life Church Paisley Youtube channel 11am on Sunday morning. Current Government Advice
