"MOSES.. FAITH THAT REFUSES AND CHOOSES"
Hebrews 11:24-26
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 pleasures of sin for a
short time.
He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as

own, as a mature adult. But first, let's look at another man.
He was well born--the grandson of Queen Victoria. He went to the
Royal Naval Academy and in 1912 he was placed in active duty, sailing
on a battleship. When World War I broke out, he took his place in the
Grenadiers and was sent to France, Italy, and other places.
Afterwards, he came back home and settled down, happy with his golf and
gardening and the things that the royalty did
Then his father died and he was made King of England. He was
proud of that position, because at that time the empire was very
powerful. As King, he prided himself in the fact that he knew people
in nearly every nation, and on every continent.
One day he went on a cruise on the Atlantic, and there he met a
lady. She was facing a divorce, and ...
