Same ingredients. Same menu.
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.”

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.’”

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.”

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
