Notes from Sunday's Sermon
"MANNA! WHAT IS IT?" (Exodus 16:2-16)
 How did God react to their grumbling? "Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days." God's answer to their grumbling was that he provided for their daily bread on that day, and on every day for the next forty years, even when they grumbled! How good and forgiving the Lord is!
Luther said in his explanation to the First Article: "All this He does only because He is my good and merciful Father in heaven, and not because I have earned or deserved it." Every time we put food in our mouths, we should remember that God loves us for Jesus' sake and does not treat us as our sins deserve. Every time we put our shirt on or tie our shoes, we should thank him not only for our clothes, but for not listening to our grumbling and complaining.
Why do we doubt? We have no reason. God has proven He is faithful. For forty years in the wilderness, the bread truck came every morning and the meat delivery arrived every night. And if anything happens in my life where I might be tempted to question God's faithfulness, I can say with David, "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread" (Psalm 37:22).
Sincerely in Christ,
Pastor Stephen King

A Mission-Driven Church
Our Mission...
The Memorial Tabernacle Church has come together by the Holy Spirit for the specific purpose of preaching and teaching the word of God, (the Bible), and about Jesus Christ, God's son, and to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of God to the North Oakland Community and its environs; to bring healing to the brokenhearted and deliverance to the oppressed.
Our Foundation...
 "And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more, as you see the day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25)
 "Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God."
(Philippians 4:6)
"  Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe."
(Hebrews 12: 28)
