Pharaoh finally relented and allowed God’s people to be free. Perhaps angry from his defeat, he changed his mind and pledged to revenge the death of his son. Pharaoh was not going after Moses’ and God’s people he was going against God, who would defend the freedom of his people.

For freedom, there had to be sacrifice. God provided a salvation for His people but it cost something. Something had to die in order for there to be life. Those willing to sacrifice were spared or saved and those unwilling to sacrifice experienced great loss.

Moses was born into slavery. With a step of faith from his mom, Moses was born into slavery and adopted into the royal family. After running away to avoid getting caught for murder, God provides Moses purpose that redirects him back to the royal family.

What we mean is that found people find people comes down to talking to each other about something you enjoy or someone you find enjoyable, which in our case is a relationship with Jesus.

Trust is a currency in relationships. If there’s not much in the account, relationships are poor. There is no “expecting the best” in each other. If there’s much in the account, relationships are rich. There’s plenty of giving the benefit of the doubt to each other. There’s cheering someone on who may be better at something than you—no jealousy. There’s this love between each other.

From the very beginning of time, we were designed to work and serve. It was a good thing. This design never changed when sin entered the picture...it just became harder for us. When Jesus came to defeat sin, He never changed the design. Instead, He modeled it to perfection.

The Gospel doesn’t just save you or provide you your ticket in to heaven. It’s so much better than that—it’s the full experience of life with Jesus the leader of your life. The good news is not just for tomorrow but for today.

Every generation of Jesus followers is responsible to ensure the news of the Christian faith stays true to the original. So are you good news? What if you’re the only news someone gets?

People close to Jesus were convinced they had met good personified. So they documented the story. They were convinced it wasn’t just for a nation or for a generation, but for all nations and every generation. This was good news, great joy, for all people—perhaps especially for those of us who aren’t all that good. If it’s not good news, you may have the wrong version. It’s not a good story. It’s good news.

Gratitude is definitely more than an attitude. While we all have much to be grateful for, gratitude doesn’t

always fill our hearts. Gratitude is a good goal, but not the best goal. So what is greater than gratitude?
