14. Death of the First Born (Exodus 12:29-51)

Holy Spirit, we're asking that you just fill us up. Fill us up. You've already done such a great work in us, but we're looking forward to what you're going to teach us in the Word. And we're asking God, would you, by your spirit, fill us, fill us again, overflow our lives.
 
For those that are discouraged this morning, fill them with hope. For those that are overwhelmed, God, fill them with confidence that you are powerful. God, for those
that are anxious about things, remind them of your sovereignty, that you are still on your throne, that you have not moved, that you are secure, that you are unchanging, and you are going to fulfill every promise, every good purpose that you have for us in Christ. God, give us a peace in our heart that passes human understanding.
 
And God, I pray that the result would be praise and worship to your name, and that your heart would be pleasure as you see us walk after you, God, longing for you, ministering to you, and enjoying an ever -deepening walk and relationship with our King. And we pray all these things in Jesus' name.

13. Jesus in the Passover (Exodus 12:1-28)

We're looking at the Passover and its institution, instructions, and I've entitled the message, Jesus in the Passover, because he is everywhere. From the beginning of Genesis to the very end of Revelation, Christ is in the pages, and probably in no stronger and more obvious place than in the Passover meal that God instituted as they prepared to leave Egypt from their slavery
and to go toward the promised land that God had promised. I'd like to begin by reading, we're not going to tackle the entire chapter, we're going to split it in two.

12. The Beginning of the End (Exodus 11:1-10)

It's interesting that this particular chapter is really a prelude to the tenth plague. Nothing really happens in this chapter except a lot of prophecy in this in these ten short verses We have no fewer than 15 prophetic predictive events that God says are going to happen. And as I read through this, I thought, man, this chapter is just filled with prophecy. And often we don't think of the Old Testament as having prophecy except related to the first coming of Christ.

10. The Consequences of a Hard Heart (Exodus 9:1-35)

I don't know about you, but I find it amazing how resilient Pharaoh is. Not everyone really has an idea. There's some speculation about how long all these events took place for the ten plagues, but some have speculated approximately eight weeks. I just can't imagine a worse eight weeks in your entire life. I mean, one of these plagues would have been just a terrifying,
dreadful thing to have happen to anyone or any nation. But they have ten, one after another, after another, after another, because one man has such a hard heart.
 
And the question I had as I was thinking this through is how could his heart get so hard? How could a man's heart be so blind and so resistant and so rebellious.

09. Tomorrow! (Exodus 8:1-32)

I get it really excited about the Bible every time I open it and there are times that it's more exciting than other times but I just really love the Word of God and I want to encourage you even before we read this in some ways this is kind of an obscure passage it's like well what are we going to get out of this plagues You know, lice, frogs, I mean, you know, let's get to something that talks about love and God's faithfulness and his plan for our life.
 
Well, this is part of God's love, part of God's plan, part of his faithfulness.

08. Dealing with a Stubborn Heart (Exodus 7:1-25)

I entitled the message "dealing with a stubborn heart" and I was thinking to myself a stubborn heart, not that any of us have ever had a stubborn heart, but I've had a stubborn heart before, and we've all struggled with it.
 
In fact, when we're thinking of children right now, we're thinking about the fact that every child has a stubborn heart. It's kind of just ingrained in children. You don't have to teach a child to be stubborn. They seem they know how to do that on their own without any instruction at all.

07. What's Holding You Back? (Exodus 6:1-30)

By way of brief review, you'll recall that the people of Israel have been in Egypt for about 430 years at this point. They entered the country with the favor of the Egyptians under Joseph's leadership, but the winds of adversity began to blow against Israel as a new king was raised up in Egypt, and they were enslaved and put into bondage to build a lot of the major grain buildings and the pyramids of Egypt. And this went on for 400 years.
 
 
In the last part of chapter five, we hear the comforting words of God Almighty to a servant Moses.  Verse one we find, if you're following along in the notes, the assurance of the lord to Moses and he says now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh because of my mighty hand he will let them go by my mighty hand Pharaoh himself will drive the Israelites out.  It's such a wonderful thing right out of the gate looking at the mighty hand of God. What a wonderful thing to know that Moses didn't have to do this. Imagine, he couldn't, he killed one Egyptian 40 years earlier and ruined his life, and really delayed his calling.

06. Get Your Own Straw (Exodus 5:1-23)

Moses has been given this commission to go and to request that Pharaoh let the people go and that they be allowed to go out for a festival for three days in the wilderness to worship the Lord. And that's where we pick up the text in verse 1 of chapter 5 of Exodus.
 
I've entitled the message, Get Your Own Straw. Obviously, it's lifted right out of the text. I was thinking about a story I've heard quite some time ago, and you've probably heard it as well.

05. Beating Around The Bush (Exodus 4:1-31)

God revealed himself in, not a pillar of fire, a pillar of cloud, or in some glorious, majestic, booming voice, but he revealed himself in a twisted thorny, useless bush, foreshadowing really the amazing gift of the indwelling spirit in the life of a believer today. And in the midst of that conversation that God had with Moses, he instructed him that he was going to be a deliverer, and he would be the one that would be sent back.

04. The Resurrection of a Calling;(Exodus 3:1-22)

The difference between chapter two and chapter three represents 40 years. And so, when we finish chapter two, we've got a 40-year gap we know nothing of Moses's life except that he was shepherding a flock of Jethro for those 40 years.
We pick up the text in chapter 3, verse 1. And I'd like to read it to you this morning. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father -in -law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to of the mountain of God. There, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire,...
