In Exodus 2:11-23, we see Moses at a crossroads, confronting his identity and the calling God has placed on his life. This pivotal moment shows how Moses' struggle with the Hebrew people is a part of God’s bigger plan to shape him for His purposes. Like Moses, we often avoid difficult questions about who we are, but God uses these struggles to refine our character and draw us closer to His mission. This sermon invites us to reflect on how God works through our own pitfalls, using times of struggle to reveal our true identity and purpose in Him. As we walk through Moses' journey, we learn that God’s transformative work often happens through our challenges, shaping us for His kingdom. We hope and pray that this service is a blessing to you.

As Pharaoh seeks to tighten his grip on the Israelites, we see a stark contrast between the world’s economy—built on fear, control, and oppression—and God’s kingdom, which calls His people to faithfulness, courage, and integrity. This sermon explores the defiant faith of the Hebrew midwives, whose quiet resistance to Pharaoh’s decree reveals the power of conviction in the face of injustice. How do their actions inspire us to live faithfully in a world that challenges godly values? What does it mean to maintain integrity when we feel powerless within oppressive systems? As we navigate our workplaces, communities, and culture, God calls us to be a faithful presence—living with conviction, courage, and trust in His sovereignty.

As we begin our journey through Exodus, we must first recognise that this is not the start of the story—it is a continuation. The opening verses of Exodus connect us back to Genesis, reminding us that God’s work did not end with Joseph and his family in Egypt. Instead, His plan continues, shaping His people for what is to come. In this sermon, we’ll explore how the narrator sets up the story of Exodus, revealing God’s faithfulness and His ongoing work in the lives of His people. What do these opening verses tell us about God’s nature? How do they prepare us for the story of liberation that follows? As we step into Exodus, we are reminded that God's story is still unfolding—not just in Scripture, but in our lives today.
