Moses, part 9

Moses's angry responses to his people's faithlessness causes him to miss the Promised Land

Moses shows his greatness in his love for the people who have abandoned and betrayed him.

Life is based on loving God iwth all our heart, soul and strength

Robert Ray's "Gospel Mas" composed in 1978.

God stays up all night to watch the Hebrews escape from Egypt

Moses has plenty of small reasons to not answer God's call and two large reasons to answer: God's power and the people's pain.

A look at how three cries were heard: the criy of baby Moses by Pharaoh's daughter; the cry of Moses' kinsmen by Moses; and the cry of the Hebrew slaves by God.

Like Abraham, we don not inherit everything God has promised in this life. We do, however, receive a down payment

It is God's sacrifice that makes the journey possible and meaningful

Our desire for justice should be based on compassion and God's character, not our ideas of justice.

The basis for faith in God is the Word of God, not current evidences.

Egypt tempted Abraham to opt for the known path over God's unknown path involving trust.

Influx or Influence

We must give up outcomes and control to God and focus on a faithful process and bold trust.

Jesus is our way to life now and eternally.

Contentment is more important and valuable than happiness in our lives.
