Exodus: The Going Out Of The Children Of Israel

Delivered by the hand of God

This pictures our salvation

Rescued from the bondage of sin
Delivered by the blood of the Lamb of God

God´s Guides

A pillar of a cloud by day
A pillar of fire by night
They were traveling in the will of God

Trouble Came   Exodus 14:5-9

Pharaoh decided he should not have let them go
The Egyptians pursued them with 600 chariots

I Want Us To Look At 3 Things Today

Depression

read Exodus 14:10-12

The children of Israel were afraid

They were in the habit of fearing Pharaoh
First they prayed, then they pouted

The people complained to Moses

Why have you done this?
Better slaves than graves

So why did they turn so bitter?

They focused on their problems
They forgot God´s promises

Direction

read Exodus 14:13-14

Moses had a 3 point message from God for them and us

Fear not

What great words!
God uses them often Genesis 15:1  Isaiah 41:10

Stand still   Psalms 46:10

The opposite of what they wanted to do
A call from fear to faith

See the salvation of the Lord   2 Corinthians 4:18

See it now with the eye of faith
Faith sees the unseen

Now that they believe, they are ready to act

Divided Waters to Dry Ground

read Exodus 14:15-22

Go forward seemed a contradiction   Hebrews 11:29

We cannot move forward until we stand still
Trusting God, they could now move ahead

The cloud that led them confused their enemies   Exodus 14:19-20

When Moses lifted his rod the wind obeyed

A strong east wind divided the waters
The people walked through on dry land

The Gospel in the deliverance of Israel from Egypt

The Passover speaks of the death of Christ
The opened Red Sea speaks of His resurrection

Conclusion

Do You Feel Trapped In A Dangerous Place?

Stand Still And By Faith See The Salvation Of God

NOW GO FORWARD!
