Moses’ giftedness was not enough for him to take matters into his own hands. He had to trust in the sovereignty of God, just as we do today. As Moses takes the saving of the Israelite people into his own hands, he quickly discovers that his power, knowledge, and status were not enough. Because of his failed attempt, he runs from Egypt and finds himself as a traveler in a strange land. But in the wilderness, he ends up broken and ready to be used by God.
We are powerless to free ourselves from sin and death, but God graciously frees us from impossible situations. In watching Moses get drawn out of the water by the daughter of Pharaoh, we are beautifully reminded that God desires to draw us out of sin. In this message, we will look at the extent and power of sin in our lives and how it leads to death. With this we will find the passionate grace of God through his son, Jesus, in which he seeks to draw us out of the impossible situation of sin and into a new life and relationship with God.
God is working behind the scenes in secret and ceaseless care, and He tends to reveal His glory by using the weak and the powerless. This week we will look at the horrendous Egyptian genocide of the Israelite people and that Pharaoh not only set out to destroy a people group, but that he directly opposed God’s mandate to “be fruitful and multiply.
Your story is always part of God’s BIGGER story! He Knows your name and we are blessed by God!
(Mark 3:14/Romans 15:7;12:1-3)
So we start fresh in 2023 hopefully with some realistic and stretching expectations to direct us in our day-by-day life journey with Christ. Heed His promise as the One who is in control of each step on that pathway. BE all those things He expects of you and desires for you as you expectantly pursue Him. Be…. Informed, Concerned, Ready and Faithful
God is the both the SOURCE of joy and the GIVER of joy. While circumstances may IMPACT your joy, they need not STEAL your joy.
Jesus’ Love is…Humble, Sacrificial, Unconditional
We often try to find peace through our circumstances, but peace only comes as a gift from the Lord of peace and then we carry his peace into our circumstances. Whether it is relational peace or emotional peace that we need, they both flow from first having peace with God and then trusting him to be who he is and to do what he needs to do to experience his peace at all times and in all ways.
As we can all be in places of unrest and weariness in our lives, He reminds us of who He is, how much he loves us and the joy He gives to us as we walk with Jesus.
