The Story of God: Return to Egypt

July 9, 2018

Whenever God calls you to serve, you serve under His authority.  That’s what the staff represented to Moses. It was a constant reminder that he was serving under God’s call and his ministry was not really his ministry – it was God’s.  And if you can understand that, it takes the pressure off.  Whenever God calls you to serve, you serve under His authority.  He will help you succeed, because the ministry He calls you to, is what He wants done.  Your success in ministry is not up to you; it’s up to Him.

The Story of God: When God Calls

July 3, 2018

Our power to bring God’s message of deliverance is found in the cross.  Our confidence to bring the message comes from the reality of the empty tomb, of the resurrected Jesus who promises to be with us!  God GAVE TO Moses what he needed to bolster his faith with these three signs.  God GAVE TO US the death and resurrection of Jesus to build our confidence.  If you are struggling to do your part in God’s story… if you lack faith in what you bring to the table turn your eyes on Jesus. When we think we can’t do it, think of what Jesus has done. Focus on the cross – remember what Jesus did for you. Remember that He rose from the grave. That’s an incredible power over death!  And now we have that same power available to us.

The Story of God: Your Burning Bush Moment

God still comes down to awaken those He calls to join Him in bringing people out of bondage and into a new life with Christ. God still meets people in their sin, redeems them by faith in Jesus and invites them to join Him  in calling people out of darkness to bring them into the Promised Land – the Kingdom of the Son He loves.  God still calls broken people, sin-scared people, and forgotten people, just like Moses, to join Him in His story.

Life in the Story of God: The Battle Begins

Because they feared God more than Pharaoh, they did a beautiful and splendid thing. In fact, that’s what their names mean:  Shiphrah means “beautiful one” and Puah means “splendid one.”  Here then, is the first act of civil disobedience.  Pharaoh gave them a direct order, and they disobeyed it. Pharaoh was the most powerful man in the world. He could have them executed with the wave of a hand.  But Shiphrah and Puah dared risk their lives for the babies, all because they feared God.

Life In The Story of God: The Story So Far

May 8, 2018

God’s faithfulness to us is dependent upon His character. And that’s good news.  We are prone to wander, even though we’ve been delivered from the power of the flesh by the blood of Christ, the flesh in us still works to reclaim its power over us.  The flesh in us still wants to lead us, call the shots and get us to live by the flesh rather than by faith. So sometimes we will sin, sometimes we might even walk away from God for a season.  But God will never walk away from us.
