What Was Missing From Moses´ Life? His Wife And Children

Moses Sees His Family Coming To Be With Him

His joy at seeing his wife and children
His responsibility to Jethro, his father-in-law

We´re Going To Look At 3 Things Today

Moses´ Public Image

read Exodus 18:1-7

Moses had fled from Egypt to Median

His marriage to Zipporah
They had 2 sons; Gershom and Eliezer

The call of Moses and his return to Egypt

Zipporah complained so he sent her home
Word reached Zipporah of Moses´ success

The public has an image of each of us

The world is watching
Our families are watching too

What God did for Moses because he was faithful

Made him a leader of his people
Reunited his family

Moses´ Personal Witness

read Exodus 18:8

Moses told Jethro what God had done for him

How God had delivered them from Egypt
How God had supplied water, meat, and manna

We should tell others of God´s blessings to us

We should never tire of telling of God´s faithfulness
We ought to share God´s blessings at every opportunity

An ounce of testimony is worth a pound of argument

When did you last tell someone of God´s goodness to you?

Moses Persuades Jethro to Trust Jehovah

read Exodus 18:9-12
Jethro was moved by what God had done for Moses
Jethro speaks: Blessed be the Lord
Jethro is convinced:  Now I Know
Jethro is Converted: his sacrifice, the evidence of faith
Jethro had been a priest of a false God
NEVER CONCLUDE THAT ANYONE IS UNREACHABLE

Conclusion

Will Your Family Circle Be Unbroken?

What Members Of Your Family Still Need Jesus?

Never Give Up On Any Of Them

Exodus 18:1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses´ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;
² Then Jethro, Moses´ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses´ wife, after he had sent her back,
³ And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
⁴ And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
⁵ And Jethro, Moses´ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
⁶ And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
⁷ And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
⁸ And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel´s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.
⁹ And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
¹⁰ And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
¹¹ Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
¹² And Jethro, Moses´ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses´ father in law before God.
