Last week, Julie and I took the girls to the Lake for some family time. With no TV or internet to distract us in the evenings, time was spent talking, laughing and reading. I sat down and read the story of Moses and the exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt and the control and reign of Pharaoh and was struck by the similarity of this story and what seems to happen in a number of our churches these days.
I thought I would take some time to write this series on the church – paralleling it with this exodus story.
There are a number of areas where this story breaks naturally and if I were ever to teach a series like this these would likely be the titles:
1. The calling of Moses – the reluctant leader
2. The support of Aaron – good men are hard to find
3. The grip of captivity – how sin holds us, temporarily lets go only to recapture us
4. Our love for what we know – even if it means staying under bondage
5. God is in control – all the time
6. God’s plan is His plan – not subject to our whims
7. God’s anoints and works through anointed leadership
8. God fulfills His promises – in His time scale, not ours
I may post some notes to these talks as I write them - we'll see.
