When God Attacks Affluence

Exodus 7:14-9:7 โ€“ In the first five plagues, God shows His power over the gods of Egypt and attacks the Egyptiansโ€™ many sources of affluence. Nothing in this world deserves our wholehearted trust and allegiance.

Introducing the Nations to the One True God

Exodus 7:1-13 โ€“ While the planned Exodus served to rescue Godโ€™s people, He also intended it to wake Egypt up to His supremacy compared to the gods of this world. Never overlook how God uses His work among His people to bring the nations to Him.

Your Family Tree Doesn’t Disqualify You

Exodus 6:14-30 โ€“ Before the plagues commenced, Scripture provides a genealogy for Moses and Aaron, highlighting their unsavory family line. Just like these two who were used mightily by God, nothing in your family tree can disqualify you from Godโ€™s service.

Magnify (DNOW)

If someone inspects our lives, we desire them to discover Jesus as our most important value. Christ is so worthy; we cannot magnify Him halfway.

There’s Not a Situation God Can’t Redeem

Exodus 6:2-13 โ€“ God reassured Moses that He would be able to redeem the people no matter how bad the opposition seemed to be. In the circumstances that impact our lives, we must remember that thereโ€™s not a situation God canโ€™t redeem.

When Things Get Worse Before They Get Better

Exodus 5:1-6:1 โ€“ Mosesโ€™ initial efforts only increased Pharaohโ€™s narcissistic rage and the Israelitesโ€™ horrific conditions. We must hold on to Godโ€™s promises when things get worse before they get better.

Hardened Hearts All Around

Commission

Acts 1:6-11 โ€“ Until Christ comes, He has called us to go with the gospel until all have heard. Our lives are purposed to join Him in making disciples of all nations.

Crucifixion

John 1:9-14 โ€“ Since we could not make it to heaven, heaven came to us. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus would change everything.

Corruption

Judges 21:24-25 โ€“ The people of God progressively pushed against the ways of God and pursued the ways of the world. The further that they drifted, the more apparent it was their need for a Savior.
