  I hope you are doing well by am delighted that you and I this
• 0:26
  week we can go forward another week a second week into the book
• 0:31
  of Exodus. You'll remember that Moses and
• 0:35
  his brother, Aaron have headed back to Egypt.
• 0:39
  The Hebrew slaves are convinced that God It has indeed sent them
• 0:43
  and they cannot believe it. That God heard their complaint
• 0:47
  and has come to rescue them. So now the mission begins to
• 0:51
  convince Pharaoh that the god of the universe is knocking and he
• 0:54
  needs to let these well these slaves is Free Labor Force,
• 0:59
  believe he's not going to be Keen.
• 1:01
  So let us pick up the story as we read together.
• 1:04
  In Exodus chapter 4, After this presentation to
• 1:19
  Israel's leaders, Moses and Aaron went and spoke to Pharaoh.
• 1:23
  They told him. This is what the Lord.
• 1:26
  The god of Israel says, let my people go so they may hold a
• 1:31
  festival in my honor in the wilderness.
• 1:34
  Is that? So, retorted pharaoh and a who
• 1:39
  is the Lord? Why should I listen to him and
• 1:43
  let Israel go? I don't know the Lord and will
• 1:47
  not Not let Israel go but Aaron and Moses persisted the god of
• 1:53
  the Hebrews has met with us. They declared.
• 1:57
  So let us take a three day Journey Into the Wilderness so
• 2:01
  we can offer sacrifices to the Lord Our God.
• 2:04
  If we don't, he will kill us with the plague or with the
• 2:08
  sword fairer applied Moses and Aaron.
• 2:13
  Why are you distracting the people from their tasks get Back
• 2:17
  to work. Look, there are many of your
• 2:20
  people in the land and you are stopping them from their work.
• 2:25
  That same day, Pharaoh, sent this order to the Egyptian slave
• 2:29
  drivers and the Israelite Foreman, do not supply any more
• 2:33
  straw for making bricks. Make the people get it
• 2:36
  themselves, but still require them to make the same number of
• 2:40
  bricks. As before, don't reduce the
• 2:43
  quota, they are lazy. That's why they are crying out.
• 2:47
  Let us go and offer sacrifices to our god, load them down with
• 2:52
  more work. Make them swim.
• 2:54
  Sweat that will teach him to listen to lies.
• 2:58
  So the slave drivers and Foreman went out and told the people,
• 3:02
  this is what the Pharaoh says. I will not provide any more
• 3:06
  straw for you go and get it yourselves, find it wherever you
• 3:11
  can, but you must produce just as many bricks as before.
• 3:15
  So the people scattered throughout the land of Egypt, in
• 3:18
  search of stubble to use a straw Meanwhile, the Egyptian slave
• 3:23
  drivers continued to push hard meet your daily quota of bricks.
• 3:28
  Just as you did when we provided you with straw, they demanded.
• 3:33
  Then they whipped the Israelite form and they had put in charge
• 3:36
  of the work Crews. Why haven't you met your quotas
• 3:39
  either yesterday? Or today?
• 3:41
  They demanded. So the Israelite Foreman went to
• 3:45
  pharaoh and pleaded with him. Please don't treat your servants
• 3:49
  like this. They begged.
• 3:51
  We are given No straw. But the slave drivers still
• 3:54
  demand make bricks. We are being beaten, but it is
• 3:58
  now fault your own people are to blame but Pharaoh shouted.
• 4:04
  You're just lazy lazy. That's why you're saying.
• 4:08
  Let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.
• 4:12
  Now, get back to work. No straw will be given to you,
• 4:15
  but you must still produce the full quota of bricks.
• 4:20
  So Israelite Foreman. Could see that they were in
• 4:23
  serious trouble when they were told but you must not reduce the
• 4:27
  number of bricks you make each day as their left Pharaoh's
• 4:31
  Court. They confronted Moses and Aaron
• 4:33
  who were waiting outside for them.
• 4:35
  The foreman said to them, may the lord judge and punish you
• 4:39
  for making us stink before pharaoh and his officials, you
• 4:44
  have put a sword into their hands and excuse to kill us.
• 4:48
  And Moses went back to the Lord and protested.
• 4:51
  Why have you brought all this trouble and your own people?
• 4:54
  Lord? Why did you send me ever since I
• 4:58
  came to Pharaoh? As your spokesman he has been
• 5:01
  even more brutal to your people and you have done nothing to
• 5:06
  rescue them. Jason, sometimes you feel so
• 5:21
  absent, sometimes things are hard and we just searched for
• 5:26
  you for any sign that you're there that you're with us, it's
• 5:30
  hard to sense your presence. Lord, just like we hear in this
• 5:34
  story. So, help our heart, believe our
• 5:39
  mind as we know, your promise that you'll always remain with
• 5:43
  us till the very end of this age, help that promise seep into
• 5:48
  our hearts, that we would feel your presence that we would
• 5:52
  believe your promise. Thank you, that you are
• 5:57
  trustworthy. You are ever present help in
• 6:01
  times of need. May that help be felt me your
• 6:05
  presence, may your spirit. May your love soften those hard
• 6:12
  edges of Our Lives as we walk day by day with you.
• 6:18
  Until finally, we will fall into your Embrace forever.
• 6:23
  We pray all this in your name Jesus.
• 6:27
  Amen.
