Moses Sermon Series – Part 1

Exodus 1:22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” 

Exodus 2:1 Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

Like Moses, you were born on purpose, for a purpose.

Acts 17:26

…he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

Psalm 139:13, 16

For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.

Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Your Purpose:

LOVE GOD. LOVE PEOPLE. MAKE DISCIPLES.

Moses is proof – your circumstances are ideal for you to fulfill your purpose.

Exodus 2:2-10

…When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses

Acts 7:22 

Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

What would change if you realized that…

Your current circumstances are ideal for you to experience what God has for you.

Philippians 1:12

Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.

1 Corinthians 7:17

Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.
