GOD SHOWS HIS POWER

eXODUS 5-12

God is faithful to bring deliverance from bondage, but that deliverance came

at a price.

Moses accepted the call to be God's messenger in Egypt, going to Pharaoh

with the full authority and power of God, the great "I AM". But upon arrival,

his message was met with resistance and retaliation by Pharaoh, which

resulted in near-rejection of Moses' leadership by the people of God. Yet

God reaffirmed His covenant with Moses. God's power would be demonstrated

in full force as He unleashed a series of plagues, culminating in the death

of Egypt's firstborn sons and the sparing of Israel's through the Passover

sacrifice.

Points to consider:

✞   God remembers His covenant with His people.

     * How has God's Self-revelation in Scripture since

        the creation account increased our knowledge

        of Him?

✞   God requires a perfect sacrifice from His people.

     * What are some ways believers in Jesus are marked

        by the faithfulness of God on their behalf?

✞   God releases judgment in the midst of His people.

     * Why is it important to recognize the just judgment

        of God against sin?

     * How has God worked to bring you to a Biblical

        understanding of His just judgment and salvation

        by grace?
