Series: Exodus: Fear Not, Stand Firm, and See the Salvation of the LORD!

Reflection: Psalm 118:1-2; 5-6

Sermon Text: Exodus 2:1-25

Summary: Moses' birth, growth, and flight out of Egypt remind us just how fragile hope can be. Israel wouldn't be helped by Moses for decades after his birth...and yet, God is working actively when it looks like things are falling apart.

Statement.

1. Moses, the Infant. Text 2:1-10

Take note of

  • his PARENTS (v1)
  • their PLAN (vv 2-4)
  • God's PROTECTION AND PROVISION (vv 5-10)

Isaiah 55:8-9; Romans 8:28; 2 Timothy 1:12

**2. Moses, the Impulsive ** Exodus 2:11-14

Numbers 32:23; Proverbs 28:13

God is always more interested in your sanctification than He is your gratification with your current situation.

  • The Saving

4. Moses the Man Exodus 2:21-22
