No "I" in TEAM In Exodus 17, we see two powerful moments that reveal how God’s provision and victory are often tied to the people He places around us. First, at Rephidim, Israel complains about their thirst, testing God rather than trusting Him. Moses, overwhelmed by their grumbling, turns to God—who provides water from the rock at Horeb, a foreshadowing of Christ, our ultimate source of life. But right after this provision, a new challenge arises—the Amalekites attack, targeting the weak and weary at the back of Israel’s camp. This battle wasn’t won by one man’s strength but by teamwork—Joshua fought, while Moses lifted his hands in intercession, supported by Aaron and Hur. The lesson? No one wins alone. Whether we’re in a season of testing or battle, we need the right people around us—people who hold us up, fight alongside us, and remind us of God’s faithfulness. So, who’s holding up your arms? And whose arms are you lifting? Let’s talk about it in today's conversation. Exodus 17 Discussion topics Who in your life has been like an “Aaron or Hur” to you—someone who has supported you in a tough season? Read Deuteronomy 25:17-18. The Amalekites attacked the weak and stragglers. How does this relate to how the enemy tries to attack us today? What "battle" are you facing right now where you need people to lift you up in prayer and encouragement? Moses built an altar and called it “The Lord is My Banner” (Exodus 17:15). What does it mean for God to be your banner in daily life? Identify one person this week who you can support in prayer, encouragement, or practical help. Reach out and be their Aaron or Hur!
