By Clint Porter - Some obstacles in life seem insurmountable. Yet the apostle Paul tells us that the Exodus narratives happened as examples for us, “on whom the ends of the ages have come.” One such message of the Exodus: God is the ultimate heavyweight champion! He will get His glory over all the powers of evil.
1 Corinthians 10:1-1139 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:39-40Exodus: exit, way out, or departureGod will redeemGod will provide1. What does God naturally do?2. What do humans naturally do?3. What needs to change?What Does God Naturally Do?For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.1 Corinthians 10:1-4The CloudThe SeaThe FoodThe DrinkThe Battle10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”Exodus 14:10-12Red Sea Map Pic***21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Exodus 14:21-2211 And the Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.'” Exodus 16:11-12During the Yom Kippur war of 1973 the Egyptian army was unable to last more than three days in the desert, yet in Exodus 2.5 million people survived there for 40 years.David PawsonTaking care of life is not something God does, it is in His natureThey believed that God providing a way out is something He COULD do; not something HE DOES DO.32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Luke 6:32-35For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:1-4What Do Humans Naturally Do?5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown[b] in the wilderness.6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” 8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We must not put Christ[c] to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. 1 Corinthians 10:1-4Murmur (gongyzō): to say anything against in a low tone; of those who confer secretly togetherIn general, you might say you'd submit to anything, but what if it's something specific that really challenges you? Then it's like, “Anything but that.” We usually think any situation is better than the one God has given us, and that's not true contentment.Jeremiah Burroughs13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.1 Corinthians 10:13What Needs To Change?25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.Matthew 6:25-34Our Nature33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,Matthew 6:33Being content because of something external is like warming your clothes by the fire. But being content because of your soul's disposition is like your clothes being warmed by your body's natural heat.Jeremiah BurroughsOur Understanding31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

In a time of oppression and uncertainty, God's purposes are quietly unfolding. The birth and rescue of Moses are not just acts of survival but signs of divine provision—reminders that God is at work, even in the shadows.Through this passage, we see echoes of God's interaction with His people throughout the biblical narrative. How does His provision of Moses reflect His faithfulness across generations? What can Miriam's bold faith teach us about trusting God in troubled times? When life takes unexpected turns, how do we hold onto hope in God's greater plan? As we reflect on Moses' rescue, we're invited to see God's hand at work—not just in history, but in our own lives today.We pray this message encourages you as we apprentice to become more like Jesus. We'd love to hear from you!
We are covering the book of Exodus from Old Testament in the Bible in Life & Truth this semester!
As we begin our journey through Exodus, we must first recognise that this is not the start of the story—it is a continuation. The opening verses of Exodus connect us back to Genesis, reminding us that God's work did not end with Joseph and his family in Egypt. Instead, His plan continues, shaping His people for what is to come.In this sermon, we'll explore how the narrator sets up the story of Exodus, revealing God's faithfulness and His ongoing work in the lives of His people. What do these opening verses tell us about God's nature? How do they prepare us for the story of liberation that follows? As we step into Exodus, we are reminded that God's story is still unfolding—not just in Scripture, but in our lives today.We pray this message encourages you as we apprentice to become more like Jesus. We'd love to hear from you!
Because we know God will judge all who persist in their sin and unbelief, we must be willing to heed his warnings and hold fast to Him in the faith and holiness which save. I. We need to be Reminded about God's Judgment v 5aII. Three Examples of God's Judgment that Serve as Warnings for Us vv 5b (1) Exodus: God's Judgment falls on would-be believers who do not continue in faith v 5b (2) Angels: God's Judgement falls on those who reject His creation order and go their own way v6 (3) Sodom: God's Judgement falls on those who persist in sexual immorality and perversion v 7
Exodus 17 tells us how Israel's God provided water in the desert from the rock, when His people were extremely thirsty. And as the people had shown they always grumbled against the LORD, verse 3. This was typical of God's provision, for us in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ (see1 Corinthians 10 verses 1-6). Moses struck the rock, representing Israel's crucifying our Lord Jesus; out of whose side flowed water (John 19 verses 34-35,1 John 3 verses 6-8; note that the three that bare witness are the Spirit, the water and the blood – verse 7 in the AV is a faulty insertion by a Jesuit monk (in the Middle Ages). The finding of water immediately brought Israel into war with the Amalekites, who were killing the stragglers of Israel(Deuteronomy 25 verses 17-19 contrast with the attitude of the Israelites who had triumphantly departed Egypt in Psalm 105 verse 37. Their spirit failed with time and they failed to put their trust in the Living God (see Hebrews 3). Amalek came and fought with Israel and were defeated – not by might, nor by power, but by Yahweh's Spirit being exercised energetically on the behalf of His people in response to Moses' prayer. Note when Moses' hands dropped Amalek prevailed; but when they were extended upwards invoking the LORD's help for His people, Israel prevailed(see Hebrews 12 verses 12-14). He was supported in prayer by two men – Aaron the high priest; and Hur, (meaning “white” speaking of those who gain the victory through Christ) the prince of the tribe of Judah. So collectively these three men spoke of prophet, priest and king. Moses, Aaron and Hur agonised in prayer in order to aid Yahweh's warriors, led by Yahoshua (meaning “Yah's salvation). Israel's weapons were not carnal, but mighty to God (2 Corinthians 10 verses 3-6). This battle was against sin; and secondly symbolised Armageddon, when Gog (the chief of Russia) and its clans invade Israel in the near future). Consider Moses' prophecy about this in Numbers 24 verse 19. This is the reason that in verse 16 of the 17th chapter of Exodus God declared perpetual warfare on Amalek. And as emblem of His declared will a banner, or ensign was set up – verses 14 and 15 and a book written, and its words rehearsed in Joshua's ears – compare Isaiah's 4th chapter as speaking of the end of the process of destroying Amalek.Chapter 18 of Exodus explains the wise advice given to Moses by his father in law, Jethro. Jethro had taken custody of his daughter Zipporah and his two grandchildren from Moses, apparently when Moses had confronted Pharaoh in Egypt. Moses showed great respect for his father in law, who met him to return Moses' family back to him. Jethro was delighted by the report of Yahweh's wonders, which had been seen in Egypt. And Jethro, who appeared to have some familiarity with the Lord GOD of Israel, now acknowledged Yahweh's supremacy. The following day Jethro observed the great effort Moses exerted in judging the people. Jethro told Moses such efforts were not sustainable. He needed support in the work from honest, trustworthy men who hated bribery and covetousness. A hierarchy of help was established; leaving Moses as judge only in the most difficult cases. It also enabled Moses to prioritise his work as the mediator between God and His people. After this Jethro returned to his home in Midian.cont ...https://christadelphianvideo.org/thoughts-on-the-readings-for-february-9th-exodus-17-18-psalm-72-mark-5/

It also enabled Moses to prioritise his work as the mediator between God and His people. After this Jethro returned to his home in Midian. Psalm 72 is a final prayer from the pen of David, verse 20; which provides a glorious ending to Book 2 of the Psalms – the Exodus psalms which focus on divine deliverance. The Psalm is typically about the greatness of Solomon's rule (symbolically) and of the Christ's kingdom on earth, soon to be a reality. David prays that Solomon may be helped by Yahweh to rule the LORD's people justly. The mountains and hills in verse 3 speak of powerful and weaker nations. Solomon was at peace with many nations which paid tribute to him and benefited from the peace and stability that Solomon's rule brought to them. His reign was characterised by wise decisions that protected the poor and needy. This will be entirely true throughout the thousand year rule of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 5 tells us that David is describing our Lord's kingdom (see 2 Samuel 23 verses 5-7 – note how the following verses in Psalm 72 verses 6-9 follow the same vein of thought to the earlier verses of David's words in 2 Samuel 23). Verse 10 speaks of the submission of Arabic nations to Jesus Christ, spoken of in Isaiah chapters 60 and 63. All nations will voluntarily submit to a faithful and benevolent rule (verses 11-14). The suppliants from all nations will daily thank God for the kind and gracious king that they were provided by God Almighty (verse 15). The next verse tells of the abundance of food that the earth will produce. Blessings characterise Messiah's realm. The 17th verse says in the Hebrew that our Lord Jesus' name will be to continue his Father's eternal name – Jesus means “Yah saves”: Matthew 1 verses 21-23. David praises God in verses 18-19 for His glorious deeds in filling the earth with His glory Numbers 14 verse 21; Habbakuk 2 verses 14, 20). When this has been accomplished David declares that his prayer will be completed (fulfilled, ended). How significant to finalise the Exodus psalms with this writing. In Mark 5 we read about two great miracles of healing. The first of the mad man, Legion as he called himself. Many have speculated on the nature of his malady – perhaps it was multiple personalities; maybe his brain seemed to pound continuously, reminding him of the tramp of Rome's legions. But, whatever it was Jesus completely heals him. The man represents the relentless turmoil and untameable nature of the human condition. It would seem that in this Jewish region they were keeping pigs, something that was contrary to Mosaic law. The man asks, as evidence of his healing, that his sickness be transferred to the pigs. As this happens the pigs, 2,000 in number, ran violently from the cliff into the sea. This lemming like behaviour illustrates the irrationality of humans. The man, now sane, sits to receive the Gospel news. The townsfolk, annoyed by their loss of profit urge Jesus to leave. Legion is commissioned to go the Decapolis and spread the word among other Gentiles. Jesus while on his way to the synagogue at the beseeching of its ruler, Jairus (meaning ‘enlightened') is delayed by a woman with a seemingly incurable discharge of blood. The woman is, because of her great faith, cured and addressed most significantly as ‘daughter'. At precisely the same time Jairus is told his daughter has died. Jesus raises the daughter with the words of the shepherd “little lamb arise”. The Apostle John tells us in his fifth chapter that the time will come when the voice of the Son of God will call from the grave his sheep.

For those of us that have experienced new life in Christ, what do people who are seeking God need from us?
Early in the book of Exodus God begins to make the power of His name known to a variety of different people. The question they were faced with is the same question we wrestle with today: do we trust in the promises of God and the power of His name, or will we choose to ignore them and turn away from Him?

In the book of Exodus God commands Moses to go to Egypt and rescue the Israelites. Moses was like “Okay God, but you know, like what should I say?” Basically Moses is saying, “Yo, I don't want to look all crazy when I get there.” You know sometimes when you tell people GOD spoke to […]
