Freedom (4 of 4)
Series: Exodus
Jeff Geyer
Exodus 14-15; Matthew 10:39
Big Idea:
Pharaoh finally relented and allowed God's people to be free. Perhaps angry from his defeat, he changed his mind and pledged to revenge the death of his son. Pharaoh was not going after Moses' and God's people he was going against God, who would defend the freedom of his people.
Intro:
In case you're joining us for the first time in awhile, allow me 30 seconds to recap us. The first 15 chapters of Exodus tells the story of how God led His people through a dark time in their history. God gave purpose to characters, allowed characters to face rejection, required a sacrifice, and provided freedom.
The first week as we kicked off the series we looked at purpose. We learned that as we walked through the first four chapters of Exodus that purpose is a process of preparation.
In our story, our main character, Moses, was born into slavery. With a step of faith from his mom, Moses went from being saved from genocide and adopted into the royal family.
He grew up as royalty but understood his identity as a Hebrew.
After running away to avoid getting caught for murder (which was protecting a Hebrew), God provides Moses purpose that redirects him back to the royal family-to set God's people free.
The second week we looked at rejection.
When Moses returns, he is faced with rejection. Pharaoh was not willing to let God's people free. By Pharaoh resisting Moses' request, Pharaoh was resisting God.
His rejection caused many of his own people to feel the consequences of his rejection. God sent plagues to destroy the economy and left fertile land look like a wasteland.
We learned that as we navigated chapters 5-10 that rejection is personal and has consequences in our relationships, especially in our relationship with God. We left everyone with this question: What am I trying to control that is out of control and I need to surrender to God?
