Israel’s Emancipation from Slavery (Exodus 12:31-51)

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—    where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord,    the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—    he who watches over you will not slumber;indeed, he who watches over Israel    will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you—    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;the sun will not harm you by day,    nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—    he will watch over your life;the Lord will watch over your coming and going    both now and…

The Blood of the Lamb (Exodus 11:1-12:30)

Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.  For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.  He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.  1 Peter 1:17-20 Sermon Notes

What Does It Take? (Exodus 9-10)

When I consider your heavens,    the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars,    which you have set in place,what is mankind that you are mindful of them,    human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels    and crowned them with glory and honor.You made them rulers over the works of your hands;    you put everything under their feet:all flocks and herds,    and the animals of the wild,the birds in the sky,    and the fish in the sea,    all that swim the paths of…

The Finger of God (Exodus 8:1-32)

I am the Lord, and there is no other;    apart from me there is no God.I will strengthen you,    though you have not acknowledged me,so that from the rising of the sun    to the place of its settingpeople may know there is none besides me.    I am the Lord, and there is no other.I form the light and create darkness,    I bring prosperity and create disaster;    I, the Lord, do all these things. “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness;    let the clouds shower it down.Let the earth open wide,    let salvation spring up,let…

The plagues begin (Exodus 7:1-24)

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new…

Confronting Evil (Exodus 5:1 – 6:27)

I will always obey your law, for ever and ever. I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts. I will speak of your statutes before kings and will not be put to shame, for I delight in your commands because I love them. I reach out for your commands, which I love, that I may meditate on your decrees. Psalm 119:44-48 Sermon Notes

Objections in the Face of God (Exodus 4:1-31)

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Sermon Notes

Moses Meets God (Exodus 3:1-22)

Lord, you have been our dwelling place    throughout all generations.Before the mountains were born    or you brought forth the whole world,    from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn people back to dust,    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”A thousand years in your sight    are like a day that has just gone by,    or like a watch in the night. Psalm 90:1-4 Sermon Notes

A Savior is Born (Exodus 2:1-25)

By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.  He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.  He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because…

The Emancipation of the Israelites Begins (Exodus 1:1-22)

He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it…” Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be…
