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,...

03. The Birth and Death of a Dream (Exodus 2:1-25)

the Bible tells us that Amram and Yacobed fashioned a basket and covered it with tar and pitch in preparation to send this little boy down the Nile River.
My guess is that God had spoken to Amram and Yacobed and said, release the child to me.
In some form or another, they knew what to do, but they had no idea what the outcome would be, very much like God calling Abraham. known as a leader in Israel.

02. Pharoah's Fear and Israel's Faith (Exodus 1:1-22)

If you're looking at one of the New Testament texts, people that God has chosen. And he chose them, by the way, not because they were spectacular or wonderful or especially anointed or especially responsive to God, but the Bible actually tells us in several places that God chose them because they were least of all the people. And that's how God works. He takes little people of no account, and he does wonderful things through their lives if they're willing to allow him to be king and lord of their life.

01. Introduction to Exodus 1:1

 
The book of Exodus actually picks up where Genesis leaves off. And now through this book, we're being introduced to these great themes of deliverance that God brought to the people of Israel coming out of Egypt and out of bondage.
 
And in the midst of this leadership that Moses exercises in bringing the people out of bondage, God begins to meet with the people and meet with Moses and begin to explain his heart toward them as his covenant people.

Dying To Defend | Acts 19:21-41

But God is good, and when he's on the throne, things get better. And especially when we recognize that he's on the throne. I entitled the message "dying to defend" for two reasons: Have you ever been accused falsely? Not very many of us, right? I mean, the honest truth is, we're usually accused of stuff we've done, not for stuff we haven't done. It's like it's a rare thing when I got accused of something I didn't do, you know? But most of the time it's like, I got accused. And we still try to defend ourselves. 
But there's this, there's something in us when we've done something wrong and we get accused. The first thing that happens, it's like, we want to defend ourselves. We're dying to defend ourselves. But interestingly in this text, though Paul is accused of so many things, outrageous things, he never defends himself. And I want to suggest to you that there's another meaning of dying to defend.

20. John's Final Words of Encouragement (1 John 5:14-21)

John is wrapping up the second book that he's written. And there are more to come. He certainly got second and third John, but also the book of Revelation. But in the book of John,
the Gospel of John, he had basically two objectives. One was that his readers would hear the good news, and secondly, that they would believe the good news. And first, John, his objective was slightly different.

19. You Can be Assured of Eternal Life ( 1 John 5:5-13)

If you want to grow, if you want to be godly, if you want to be right with God, if you want to be fruitful, if you want to be full of joy and purpose and meaning, the first place to start is your relationship with Jesus Christ. 
That's the first place is drawn here to Him, abide in Him. Everything else flows out of that. If you want anything that God wants for you, and What the word describes is the Christian life,
then we have to start with Christ.

18. The Secret to Loving Others (1 John 5:1-15)

We've been going through the book of 1 John and considering the life of the authentic Christian. And as I've said repeatedly over the last number of months, If it isn't authentic, it's not worth living. If we aren't going to be serious about completely giving ourselves to the things of the kingdom, then it's not worth being a hypocrite, because it's just too... It's completely futile to believe, have a certain belief system, and then live in contradiction to that belief system. It's not good for us, and it's not good for the people around us.
