Intro:

* Each demonstrates a foundational characteristic of dynamic believers
Elizabeth (Luke 1:5-25; 39-45)
· 1:5-7 no children
Luke 1:5–7 (NLT)
5 When Herod was king of Judea, there was a Jewish priest named Zechariah.
He was a member of the priestly order of Abijah, and his wife, Elizabeth, was also from the priestly line of Aaron.
6 Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God’s eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord’s commandments and regulations.
7 They had no children because Elizabeth was unable to conceive, and they were both very old.
· 1:13-19 promise, lack of faith, mute
Luke 1:13–19 (NLT)
13 But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah!
God has heard your prayer.
Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.
14 You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord.
He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks.
He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.
16 And he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God.
17 He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah.
He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord.
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”
18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I be sure this will happen?
I’m an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years.”
19 Then the angel said, “I am Gabriel!
I stand in the very presence of God.
It was he who sent me to bring you this good news!
· 1:24-25 Elizabeth's faith in God
Luke 1:24–25 (NLT)
24 Soon afterward his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months.
25 “How kind the Lord is!” she exclaimed.
“He has taken away my disgrace of having no children.”
· 1:43-45 expression of faith and belief in God
Luke 1:43–45 (NLT)
43 Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me? 44 When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
45 You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”

Message #2
Jochebed (Exodus 1:8 – 2:10)
· 1:8-9 turning against Israel
Exodus 1:8–9 (NLT)
8 Eventually, a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done.
9 He said to his people, “Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are.
· 1:15-17 midwives’ silent rebellion
Exodus 1:15–17 (NLT)
15 Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah: 16 “When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver.
If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.”
17 But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders.
They allowed the boys to live, too.
· 1:20-22 God’s blessing and Pharaohs final plan
Exodus 1:20–22 (NLT)
20 So God was good to the midwives, and the Israelites continued to multiply, growing more and more powerful.
21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Throw every newborn Hebrew boy into the Nile River.
But you may let the girls live.”
· Jochebed has son and hides him for 3 months
· 2:3-4 baby in a basket
Exodus 2:3–4 (NLT)
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she got a basket made of papyrus reeds and waterproofed it with tar and pitch.
She put the baby in the basket and laid it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile River. 4 The baby’s sister then stood at a distance, watching to see what would happen to him.
· 2:7-10 paid to be a mother
Exodus 2:7–10 (NLT)
7 Then the baby’s sister approached the princess.
“Should I go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” she asked.
8 “Yes, do!” the princess replied.
So the girl went and called the baby’s mother.
9 “Take this baby and nurse him for me,” the princess told the baby’s mother.
“I will pay you for your help.”
So the woman took her baby home and nursed him.
10 Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son.
The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.”

They brought along a three-year-old bull for the sacrifice and a basket of flour and some wine.
25 After sacrificing the bull, they brought the boy to Eli. 26 “Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked.
“I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the LORD.
27 I asked the LORD to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.
28 Now I am giving him to the LORD, and he will belong to the LORD his whole life.”
And they worshiped the LORD there.
