Dive into Exodus 1 and 2 with us as we explore the foundational nature of God as the living God, the Creator and Sustainer of life! This sermon, ""The Snake Crushers of Exodus,"" draws powerful connections between the creation account in Genesis and the early chapters of Exodus, revealing God's unwavering plan for life even in the face of death and destruction. Discover how language and imagery from Genesis are masterfully woven throughout Exodus, highlighting God's character as the God of life.
We'll examine what it means to fear the God of life in a culture marked by death, and to serve the God of creation in a world full of destruction. Join us as we witness the incredible ""snake crushing"" power of God through the courageous actions of six women—Shiphrah, Puah, the daughter of Levi, Miriam, Pharaoh's daughter, and her maidservant—who all played a vital role in preserving life and subverting Pharaoh's destructive plans. See how God uses the most unlikely individuals to accomplish His purposes, ultimately leading to the rescue of His people.
This sermon will encourage you to live as a person of abundant life, connected to our Creator, and to bravely proclaim life in a dying culture, just as those who came before us. We'll be reminded of the ultimate snake-crushing power of Jesus, who conquered death and offers new creation to all who believe.
Key takeaways:
No matter what challenges you face, take comfort in the generations who have stood firm in faith and the promise of Christ's return, when heaven will come to earth and life everlasting will be ushered in!
