When confronted with the Word of God, Pharaoh asks "who is the LORD?" It is not a question out of ignorance but a question of insolence and a refusal to acknowledge the might and power of God. God shows Himself to be the great and mighty Lord who will redeem His people.
When God calls Moses, Moses comes up with excuses and doesn't want to go. God promises to be with him and empower him. God places various calls on us as believers in Jesus Christ and He also equips us for the tasks.
God reveals Himself as "I AM WHO I AM". What does this teach us about God's holiness and majesty? God is the awesome mighty one who is dependent on no one. In this passage, God also comes down because He hears the cries of His people.
In the birth of Moses, we see God's providence and protection of Moses. As a young man, Moses tries to save his people but fails miserably. At the end of Exodus 2, we find that God is a God who hears the cries of his people.
We begin our series on the book of Exodus. God has prospered the Israelites in Egypt but now a new Pharaoh is hostile to them. He commands the two midwives to kill all the Israelite male infants. The midwives choose to fear God more than the Pharaoh.
Paul concludes the book of Romans by exhorting the congregation to be on guard against those who would divided the church and lead it away from true doctrine. He ends by commending them to God in the gospel for their strengthening.
Paul sends his greetings to a number of friends and ministry partners that he knows in the church of Rome. He is grateful for how they have served the Lord and aided in the ministry of the gospel.
Paul describes his desire to go to Rome but first he must go to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, he will deliver a gift that the churches have collected for the Jerusalem church. Paul also asks the church in Rome to pray for him. What are ways that we can help other churches and missionaries today/
Matt Fuhrman shares from 1 Peter 2:1-12. God is building the church to be a precious house and a royal priesthood. Jesus is the chief cornerstone over whom some have stumbled. The church is God's people who have received mercy from God.
Not all ambition is bad. In this passage, Paul has ambition to spread the gospel. He takes pride in his work in the Lord but gives all the credit to what Jesus Christ has done. In the same way, it is only God who accomplishes his work even when he uses us.
