Series: From Here to There - Exodus

Exodus 2:11-25
We're taking this summer to walk through the book of Exodus, which is the story of how the Hebrew people were rescued from slavery in Egypt and brought right up to the edge of the Promised Land. So God was taking them from where they were to where he wanted them to be. From here to there. And our big idea for the whole series is that God is up to something similar in every one of our lives. Wherever you are right now as a person-as a spiritual being-God has a future for you. And he wants to bring you from here to there. So as we walk through the book, we're going to see that the story of the Israelites intersects with our lives over and over again. This is why the Bible is so timeless.
So last week we talked about the bitterness of life for the Hebrew people living in Egypt: they were forced into slavery, and the Pharaoh of Egypt had become so threatened by them that he made a law that any Hebrew boy that's born should be drown in the Nile River. So baby Moses is born; his mother put him in basket and places the basket in the Nile river, and he winds up being rescued by Pharaoh's daughter. She names him ''Moses,'' which comes from a word that means ''to draw out.''
And that brings us to Exodus chapter two, verse 11. So I invite you now to hear the Word of God...
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, ''Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?''
14 The man said, ''Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?'' Then Moses was afraid and thought, ''What I did must have become known.''
