The God Who Keeps His Promises
Sometimes we have a hard to seeing God.
It is usually when things are either really good or when things are really bad.
During Good Times we can be tempted to forget about God.
This is a big thing in the Shire where life is so good.
70% of 265 000 people say they believe in God, but only 4% go to church.
When things are good we can be tempted to focus on enjoying the good times and forget about God.
We can forget to pray, get to busy to go to church.
During the hard times we can be tempted to feel like God has forgotten about us or worse that he is just standing by letting us just work out things for ourselves.
Sometimes we are under pressure we feel like we are just keeping our head above water.
And then when we are struck by financial, family or health problems God seems like he is a long way away and it feels like he just leaves us to work out our problems ourself.
What we will learn tonight is to keep sight of God in the good times and the hard times keep focused on the promises of God because he is the God who keeps his promises.
So that in both good times and hard times we can not loose sight of God.
We will see this principle at work in the very first 2 chapters of Exodus.
2 Stories
Then Matt showed us last week that it only took 2 chapters for the first 2 people, Adam and Eve to challenge God’s authority and sin against him.
That began a steep decline.
Sin increased in every Generation until in God regretted that he had made human beings on the earth.
In God brings a great flood to rid the earth of the sin that humans had spread.
Yet as Matt said we see God’s salvation in this Judgement.
He saved the family of Noah.
This family started again, living under the rainbow that was a promise to humans forever that never again would God flood the whole earth.
He brought a great flood to rid the earth of the sin that humans had spread.
Yet as Matt said we see God’ salvation in this Judgement.
He saved one family, the family of Noah.
This family started again, living under the rainbow that was a promise to humans forever that never again would God flood the whole earth.
Yet in just a short time later again humans challenge God.
They built an enormous tower at Babal to challenge God’s authority.
Again God Judges the the human race.
But this time he scatters them and confuses their language so they don’t all have the same language anymore.
It was after this even that we meet Abraham and his wife Sarah.
Again as Matt shared with us last week, God called Abraham and promised him 3 great promises.
Gen 12:2-
1:1–2:25
Gal 3:16
The Growth and Oppression of Israel in Egypt
nation: 70 v5
1:1–2:25
land: just the grave of Abraham and Sarah, defendants are in Eygpt
Blessing: Joseph, what men meant for evil God used for good.
1:1–2:25
The first 2 chapters of Exodus gives us the Setting of the book, the growth and oppression of Israel in Egypt.
The Setting: Growth and Oppression of Israel in Egypt
Here we see the two biggest stories that make up the setting for the exodus:
(ch. 1)
The Israelites multiply under Pharaoh who enslaves them.
He also tries in vain to control their population through infanticide
Enter Moses
(ch.
2)
1. Enter Moses, an Israelite who grows up as a privileged Egyptian but sides with his own people (2:1–15)
2. Years later, as an escaped elderly outlaw settled in Sinai.
(2:16–22)
(2:1–15).
3.
He is a most unlikely candidate for the role of deliverer of Israel, picking up a central motif from Genesis.
(2: 23–25)
(vv.
16–22)Years later, as an escaped elderly outlaw settled in Sinai, he is a most unlikely candidate for the role of deliverer of Israel (vv.
23–25), picking up a central motif from Genesis.
(1) Story 1: the growth and the subjection of the Israelites under Pharaoh, including infanticide in a vain attempt to control their population (ch.
1);
(2) Story 2: enter Moses, an Israelite who grows up as a privileged Egyptian but sides with his own people (2:1–15).
Years later, as an escaped elderly outlaw settled in Sinai (vv.
16–22),
Years later, as an escaped elderly outlaw settled in Sinai (vv.
16–22),
he is a most unlikely candidate for the role of deliverer of Israel (vv.
23–25), picking up a central motif from Genesis.
So let’s have a look at these 2 stories.
Story 1: The Growth and Subjection of Israel
How did the People of Israel come to Eygpt?
Ex 1:1-6
Exodus 1:1
How did the People of Israel come to Eygpt?
Here we see the connecting story with Genisis that continues the story that started in exodus 12.
This is the brief story of how 2 generations after Moses the decendants of Abraham added up to 70 people.
This is the story of how they came to be in Eygpt.
Jacob loved his son Jospeh.
His older brothers grew jeleous and ironically sold him into slavery.
Joseph ended up in Eygpt and rose from being a slave to being a powerful advisor of Pharo.
When there was a famum in the land his brothers came seeking aid and Joseph forgives them and helps them settle in Eygpt.
Verse 5 tells us: They number seventy people.
The hebrew word for decendants litterally means:
“Thus the full offspring of the loins of Jacob was seventy souls in all,”
So the great nation of Israel who would be rescued by God began with only 70 people.
But these people would multiply in Eygpt.
How did the People of Israel became Slaves in Egypt?
Let’s pick up the story in verse 6:
Exodus 1:6
After Joseph has died and a new Pharo is on the throne he sees the Israelites as a growing threat.
Ex 1:7-14
So in verse 11
Yet they continue to multiply.
The more they were oppressed the more the people grew until
The Pharo commands the Jewish boys to be killed?
(1:15-22)
The king tells the midwives to kill new born boys, but they disobeyed.
ex 1:
ex 1:19-
Bravery of the midwives,
Actually telling the truth not liing.
The Israelites were giving birth before eygptians.
Their bravery was to stand up to telling the truth.
God blesses them they have childen
In Verses 22 Pharo says to just kill the boys
How Did Moses Escape this Death Sentance?
2:1-10
2. Story 2: Enter Moses
How Did Moses Escape this Death Sentance?
2:1-10
How did Moses come to run away?
2:11-22
a. 2:11-15 Story skips ahead 30 years.
Like Jesus who later the story skips ahead 30 yars.
