GREYFRIARS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Life and Ministry of Moses 1. Prosperity to Persecution Reading: Exodus 1:6 - 22 Introduction: This all too brief look at Exodus was sparked by my recent study leave trip to Egypt and my journeys - modern, swift and reasonably comfortable - through the Sinai wilderness.…

Today we are looking at John 6:28-29 . This passage is in the middle of Jesus’ interaction with the crowds he had miraculously fed on the other side of the Sea of Galilee from only 5 small barley loaves and two fish. He fed them, and then returned to Capernaum supernaturally walking on the water to meet…

Where do we start? 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. What do we tend to fear? The unknown…

Today we are looking at John 6:16-21 . This is the third part in a Mini-series on Fear which we have been doing together. Jesus used the situation of a storm to teach His disciples about dealing with Fear. Let’s look this passage together. When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where…

The God Who Heals 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord…

1. If the author is encouraging faith in a people who know these stories from birth - what does Genesis 22:17 and Hebrews 11:12 read together remind them? 2. Why does Hebrews 11:13 feel both like it’s hanging out of place in the motif of the OT stories but also feel so appropriate in the middle of this section? a. What about it feels out of place b. What about it fits c. What about it applies to us? 3. Is pastor John crazy, or is the story of Hebrews 11:20 actually like a Jerry Springer episode

Hebrews 11:8-22 “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went out to a place he was going to receive as an inheritance; he went out, not knowing where he was going. [9] By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise.…

Survey of biblical faith as exemplified in Hebrews 11

Pastor Leo starts a new sermon series today on Genesis 1-11 called “In the Beginning.” Genesis is a book of beginnings: the beginning of creation, the beginning of humanity, the beginning of sin and death, but most importantly, the beginning of God’s plan of salvation for humanity and our journey back home.

God is less concerned with you coming out and more concerned with you going in—that is, into His promise. Many view the book of Exodus as a story of salvation FROM Egypt (and that thought that is true); however, salvation isn't simply the process of coming out, it is the process of going in. Removing a person from a place of torment and temptation has less of an effect than transforming the mind from being tormented or tempted. God is working to bring us into a greater relationship and fellowship with Him. Relationship and fellowship is TRUE salvation. Let's see this through the lens of Exodus.
