• Heb. 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

BOCC Theme 2014

Maturing In Christ

How might we expect to mature in Christ in 2014

through a hearing of Exodus?

Maturing, through Exodus 1-2

We will remember…~in our distress, the Lord does hear us

~the Lord’s deliverance is on His schedule~the Lord chooses and trains His servants~our service may entail rejection and loss

Maturing, through Exodus 3-6

We will remember~the Lord prepares us to serve (Moses at bush)~ “I am” assures commitment and relationship~His identity informs our identity (and mission)~we are “freed” in order to serve

Maturing, through Exodus 7-15

Let’s remember~His hand works that the nations know “I am”, 7:5~freedom does not mean absence of oppressions~passover is release but not yet redemption~The Lord lays claim on His children~He is a warrior … and shepherd (song)

Maturing, through Exodus 16-18

Let’s remember~deliverance leads to testing, not ease~the Lord provisions daily bread

Maturing, through Exodus 19-24

Let’s remember~all is Lord’s, but we are His treasure~as priests, royalty, a nation dedicated~grace (exodus) includes instruction (torah)~blood ratifies covenant

Maturing, through Exodus 25-31

Let’s remember…~the goal of the Exodus is to honor God’s glory~the tent, Lord’s palace, close and distant~goal of redemption is rest in God’s presence

Maturing, through Exodus 32-34

Let’s remember~to be watchful for attraction to idolatry~to intercede for one another~to wonder at the Lord’s mercy, 33:19

Maturing, through Exodus 35-41

Let’s remember~we are delivered from slavery to praise Him~worship is proper response to redemption~worship is protocol for access to divine King
