Amram and Jochebed: A Courageous Faith (6 of 8)
Series: Im-POSSIBLE -Experiencing a Faith that Works

Hebrews 11:23 | Exodus 2:1-10
If you've been in church for any time, you've likely heard some version of this story. In 1854, a S.S. teacher who was burdened for the spiritual condition of young man in his class, went to visit him at his work to talk to him about his faith. During the visit, Edward Kimball would lead D.L. Moody to Christ. Why is this significant? B/c Moody would go on to become one of the most impacting evangelists in history sharing the gospel w/ 100+ mil. people and later founding the Moody Church and the Moody Bible Institute.
But this isn't where this story ends. Thru his ministry, Moody invested in J. Wilbur Chapman - whose ministry would become influential in the life of a man named Billy Sunday. Then, thru Sunday's ministry, evangelist Mordecai Ham would be invited to preach a revival in Charlotte, NC - where a young farm boy named, Billy Graham, would give his life to Christ - and most of us know what happened next.
Who was Edward Kimball? He was a dry goods salesman from the Midwest who reluctantly agreed to teach a S.S. class of teenage boys - but gave it all he had to love those young men to Jesus.
Who was Edward Kimball? Kimball was a nobody from nowhere who God used for his glory b/c he was willing to be used for God's purposes!
Which brings us to our text and faith heroes today. If you'll turn to Hebrews 11:23/Exodus 2:1-10 - I want you to meet (2) people of faith so obscure the passages surrounding the events of their faith don't even mention their names - we have to discover their names in Exodus 6:20 in a lineage of the Tribe of Levi. Yet it's b/c of their courageous faith that Israel would have a man to deliver them out of Egypt back to the Promise land. Their names are Amram/Jochebed - and they were the parents of Moses.
By faith Moses' parents hid him for (3) mo. after he was born, b/c they ...
