7. RUNNING ON
EMPTY• ELIM OASIS (EXOD 15:27)
• WILDERNESS OF SIN
• (16:3) “WHY DIDN’T GOD
LET US DIE IN COMFORT
IN EGYPT WHERE WE HAD
LAMB STEW AND ALL THE
BREAD WE COULD EAT?
YOU’VE BROUGHT US OUT
INTO THIS WILDERNESS
TO STARVE US TO DEATH,
THE WHOLE COMPANY OF

10. FOLLOWING THE
DIRECTIONS
• EVERY MORNING
• LIMIT: 2 QUARTS
• BAKE OR BOIL
• FINISH
• HIGHLY PERISHABLE
• EXCEPT ON SABBATH

11. EXODUS 16:35 “THE
ISRAELITES ATE THE MANNA
FOR 40 YEARS UNTIL THEY
ARRIVED AT THE LAND WHERE
THEY WOULD SETTLE DOWN.
THEY ATE MANNA UNTIL THEY
REACHED THE BORDER OF
CANAAN.”
Morning, Noon, and Night.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Same ingredients. Same menu.

12. GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES. BUT SOMETIMES DON’T WE
WISH GOD WOULD PROVIDE SOMETHING BETTER?
“Manna, manna,
manna. Give me a
break! Give me
something else!
Something better!
I’m sick and tired
of just more of the
same stuff, year
after year.”

13. THE MANNA ITSELF IS REALLY A
MIRACLE
2 MILLION PEOPLE
9 MILLION LBS/DAY
4,500 TONS/DAY
1 MILLION TONS/YEAR
MULTIPLY TIMES 40

14. We often forget to remember.

15. EXODUS 16:32 MOSES
SAID, “THIS IS GOD’S
COMMAND: ‘KEEP A
TWO-QUART JAR OF IT,
AN OMER, FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS SO THEY
CAN SEE THE BREAD
THAT I FED YOU IN THE
WILDERNESS AFTER I
BROUGHT YOU OUT OF
EGYPT.’”

16. EXODUS 16:33 MOSES
TOLD AARON, “TAKE A
JAR AND FILL IT WITH
TWO QUARTS OF
MANNA. PLACE IT
BEFORE GOD, KEEPING
IT SAFE FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS.”
34 AARON DID WHAT
GOD COMMANDED
MOSES. HE SET IT ASIDE
BEFORE THE TESTIMONY
TO PRESERVE IT.

God planted us, 1925
God kept us together
while scattered
God brought us back
from exile
God has brought many
faithful pastors
God relocated us to
Rosemead
God sustained us after
the ‘hive’ in 1997
God guided us thru
Recession to finish campus

We can’t possibly
remember every time and
every way that God
provided for us in the past.
But if we fail to keep some
of those memories safe,
future generations will
struggle to believe that God
will provide for them.
