ADVENTURES OF MOSES: FAITH & VALUES

(Message by Tanny Keng)


1. Adventures Of Moses

a) Moses is the link between the times of bondage in Egypt and wandering in the wilderness. God raised him up to lead the people to freedom and the promised land.

b) Moses was born under an edict by the Pharaoh that he (and all Israelite male babies) be killed. By God's providence he escaped death and was brought up in the Pharaoh's palace.

2. Moses’s Faith And Values

a) Behind the story of Moses is the faith that he showed in God by his willingness to forsake his life in Egypt and suffer affliction with the people of God instead.

b) He showed great courage in opposing Pharaoh. Moses made mistakes, but he did believe that treasure in heaven is far more desirable than treasure on earth (Hebrews 11:23-29).

c) He chose to suffer affliction rather than enjoy the passing pleasures of sin (Hebrews 11:25).

d) He esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure in Egypt (Hebrews 11:26).

e) He looked to the invisible God for courage rather than fearing the wrath of the Pharaoh behind him (Hebrews 11:27).

f) He was very humble and took the place of a servant in God's household (Hebrews 3:2-6, Numbers 12:1-9).

g) He tried to keep to the exacting standards that God imposed on him (Exodus 17:1-7, Numbers 20:1-13). 


The End ...
