Numbers 6 22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:   24 “‘“The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’
27 “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

Lesson 6 –  “Yahweh is with us and He is for us!”

Problems come when I :

·         Am not trusting His is present!

·         Am not trusting He is for me!

·         Am not being for me! 

Numbers 14 6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “ 9 Do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”

Romans 8 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose….. If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Lesson 5 “Life with Yahweh is a whole NEW way…every day!”

·         We are no longer slaves , but free !
Romans 6 18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
 

Exodus 32 1When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who will go before us.  As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."

 ·         Waiting on Yahweh isn't about time, it's about surrendering control!

Exodus 14 12 Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!” 13 Moses answered, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
                 

Lesson 4 “Yahweh makes a way when there seems to be no way!”

·         When the world says “NO WAY” we say “YAHWEH”!

·         I naturally REHEARSE my problems while mentioning God’s provision!
I need to REHEARSE God’s provision while mentioning my problems!

Exodus 14 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.

·         He loves us too much to let our idols stand!

·         He always wins so He can always save!

·         The ultimate god that must come down is me ….. so I can live!

 Exodus 12 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
John 11 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’
“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.

Exodus - A Trust Journey, Part 1

SERMON NOTES: 

Why EXODUS?    Trust 101

The EXODUS was a defining event for God’s people then and is a refining story for God’s people now!

Exodus 16 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.           

The Crisis

The Characters

The Hero? 

Exodus 2 “23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.

God,
 You are the Hero of this story and I belong to You!

Amen
