Then folks, if you turn with me to the book of Hebrews, the letter to the Hebrews and chapter 11, that great faith chapter 11, that great faith chapter 11, and verse 23.
0:30
This is God's word. By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw that the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
0:43
By faith, Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
0:57
He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.
1:07
By faith, he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
1:17
By faith, he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
1:24
By faith, the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.
1:36
Amen. May the Lord bless that reading of his own holy and inspired word to us.
1:44
And before we turn back to that this evening, let's again just commit our time once more to the Lord in prayer.
1:50
Let's pray.
1:50
Amen.
1:51
Amen.
1:54
And so, Lord, we pray that now you might speak.
1:58
We thank you for the examples that are set before us in your word.
2:04
Great examples of faithfulness.
2:07
Great examples of those who are willing to place their trust in you, regardless of what perhaps the world around about them was doing or what it might have thought.
2:19
We thank you for their faithfulness.
2:22
We thank you that Abel brought a sacrifice that was pleasing to you and he was commended as righteous.
2:30
We thank you that Enoch walked with the Lord and did not taste death.
2:36
We thank you for Noah, who was willing to exercise obedience in a crooked generation.
2:44
We thank you for Abraham, who was willing to go, though he didn't know where, willingly with the Lord.
2:52
We thank you for the patriarchs, those who were willing to exercise a future faith, though they did not realize some of the promises in their lifetime.
3:04
And, Lord, we thank you for Moses.
3:05
We thank you for a courageous faith, a faith willing to stand apart, a faith willing to go the difficult route in the eyes of the world.
3:17
We thank you for his example.
3:19
And we thank you for what we can glean from that even yet this evening.
3:23
And so we pray that through the truth of your word you may speak and your spirit may come upon us in power, that you might move amongst us, that you may stir our hearts, that you may fan into flame that fervent and earnest prayerful desire,
3:41
that we may know you and grow in you and walk with you closer and learn more of you.
3:47
We thank you, Lord God, for the capacity that you give to us, the opportunity afforded to us to learn more of you, to understand more about you.
3:58
And we pray, Father, that the faith that we are blessed with and the understanding that we are given may translate into a practical application of that faith that may be evident to the world around about us,
4:12
that we may be delighted to learn more of you and to learn more about us, that we may be delighted in the things of God,
4:24
growing more like you as we walk the path of sanctification, as we look forward to the great promise of glorification.
4:31
For we recognize, Lord God, that the present sufferings that we encounter are not worth comparing with the crown of glory which awaits us.
4:43
And so we pray that we might live with that welcome of Christ etched into the forefront of our minds.
4:49
Well done, good and faithful servant.
4:53
Lord, that we may be good and faithful, that we may pursue the things of eternal worth,
5:00
that we may shift our eyes from the temporal transient passing things of this world,
5:07
and that we may look to the one who has the greatest treasure of all,
5:13
that we might have the faith of Moses to look past the immediate treasure of Egypt and see the unsearchable riches of Christ.
5:22
And so, Lord, we pray that you might be at work in our hearts this evening,
5:25
still our hearts, lead us in the way everlasting,
5:29
give us your joy, we pray, in Jesus' name.
5:35
Amen.
5:39
We live in an information generation.
5:43
We have access nowadays to more information than anybody in human history.
5:50
Right at our fingertips, usually by means of a phone or device of some sort,
5:58
we can search for just about any answer to any question at all.
6:04
Information is no longer an issue for us.
6:07
We have access to it easily.
6:10
And every day we are faced with claims,
6:14
claims that require verification.
6:17
We might listen to news reports.
6:20
We may hear news bulletins.
6:23
We may read social media posts.
6:25
We might hear political promises.
6:28
We may read advertising slogans.
6:31
And all of these things invite us to ask the question,
6:35
is that true?
6:38
Information is not the issue,
6:41
but discernment to determine whether what we're looking at,
6:44
listening to, or reading,
6:46
whether or not that is verifiably true,
6:49
becomes the big challenge for us in the modern world.
6:54
You know, the writer to the Hebrews invites us to conduct a different kind of fact check this evening.
7:03
Not a fact check of God's promises.
7:06
Not a fact check of Scripture,
7:09
although they stand up to scrutiny, I can assure you.
7:13
But he asks us to check ourselves,
7:17
to examine our own hearts,
7:20
to verify our own faith,
7:23
and how does he do that?
7:25
He presents to us this myriad of people,
7:30
these 18 examples of faith that are contained within this chapter.
7:37
It's this gallery of believers
7:40
who show us what true biblical faith looks like.
7:47
And we see the fruit that comes from their faith
7:53
as they exercise that faith in their lives.
7:58
Throughout this chapter,
8:00
faith in God leads people
8:03
to pursue particular,
8:06
certain patterns of living.
8:10
By faith,
8:11
Abel was willing to offer
8:14
a more acceptable sacrifice to God
8:16
than his brother Cain.
8:19
And he was commended as righteous for it.
8:22
And indeed, it cost him
8:23
his life.
8:26
By faith,
8:28
Enoch walked with the Lord
8:30
and he was commended
8:31
for that.
8:33
By faith,
8:34
Noah constructed an ark,
8:37
much to the amusement
8:38
of the watching world,
8:40
who were saying,
8:40
flood,
8:41
what flood,
8:43
as they continued to live
8:44
in rebellious abandon.
8:47
Abraham,
8:49
he obeyed the Lord,
8:51
not knowing where he was going,
8:53
but willing to follow the call.
8:57
By faith,
8:57
Isaac and Joseph
9:00
and Jacob
9:01
exhibited a future faith.
9:05
But the point of this chapter
9:07
that is not merely intended
9:08
to inspire admiration,
9:12
though it does that.
9:13
What it's intended to do
9:15
is provoke examination.
9:18
So it's not just to
9:20
inspire admiration,
9:23
but it is to provoke
9:25
examination.
9:27
We are meant to ask
9:28
as we read these words
9:30
and as we consider these examples,
9:33
does my faith resemble that?
9:37
Do I trust God's promises
9:39
like they did?
9:42
Am I willing
9:43
to obey God
9:44
when it costs me personally
9:46
as these people did?
9:49
Does my life
9:51
demonstrate a confidence
9:53
in the things unseen?
9:57
Well, this evening
9:59
we come to Moses
10:01
and Moses receives
10:02
more attention
10:03
in Hebrews 11
10:04
than just about
10:05
anyone else.
10:08
Why?
10:09
Well, could we say
10:10
it's because
10:10
Moses demonstrated
10:12
a courageous faith?
10:14
A faith under pressure?
10:16
A faith when
10:16
powerful rulers
10:17
opposed God?
10:19
A faith when
10:20
worldly success
10:22
beckoned?
10:23
A faith when
10:24
worldly comfort
10:26
was offered?
10:27
A faith when
10:28
suffering
10:29
was to be embraced?
10:30
A faith
10:31
that was
10:32
steadfast
10:35
in the face
10:35
of the uncertain?
10:37
A faith that was
10:38
obedient
10:38
even when
10:40
it looked foolish
10:41
to the watching
10:42
world?
10:44
Many of these challenges
10:45
are still faced
10:46
by Christian believers
10:48
today.
10:50
They are
10:50
challenges
10:51
that we may
10:52
you may be facing
10:53
within your own lives
10:54
and within your own
10:55
experiences
10:56
right at this
10:57
very moment.
10:58
And so we're
11:00
left with a question
11:01
at the outset.
11:02
When we
11:03
examine
11:04
our faith
11:05
against the
11:06
faith of Moses
11:06
and those
11:07
contained within
11:08
this chapter
11:09
what do we
11:11
find?
11:12
What do
11:13
we find?
11:16
Do we find
11:16
a courageous
11:17
faith
11:17
like Moses
11:19
exhibited?
11:20
Or are there
11:21
areas
11:21
that require
11:23
a wee bit
11:24
of input?
11:25
A little bit
11:26
of
11:27
improvement?
11:28
You know
11:30
Moses
11:31
exhibited
11:31
a courageous
11:32
faith
11:33
because
11:33
he made
11:35
certain
11:35
choices
11:36
in
11:37
his life
11:38
and I want
11:39
to look
11:39
at five
11:40
of them
11:41
briefly
11:41
this evening
11:43
as we
11:43
consider
11:44
Moses'
11:44
life
11:45
and his
11:45
courageous
11:46
faith.
11:48
His faith
11:49
was a faith
11:49
that trusts
11:50
a faith
11:51
that chooses
11:51
a faith
11:53
that endures
11:54
a faith
11:55
that rests
11:55
and a faith
11:57
and a faith
11:57
that obeys.
11:59
Firstly then
12:00
a faith
12:01
that trusts.
12:02
Moses'
12:03
faith
12:03
trusted God's
12:04
purposes
12:05
despite
12:07
present
12:08
danger.
12:09
Verse 23
12:10
by faith
12:11
Moses
12:11
when he was
12:12
born
12:13
was hidden
12:13
for three
12:14
months
12:14
by his
12:14
parents
12:15
because they
12:16
saw that
12:16
the child
12:17
was beautiful
12:17
and they
12:18
were not
12:18
afraid
12:18
of the
12:19
king's
12:20
edict.
12:21
even
12:21
before
12:22
Moses
12:23
has
12:23
a faith
12:24
his
12:24
parents
12:25
exhibit
12:26
a great
12:27
and a
12:27
fearless
12:28
faith.
12:29
A reminder
12:30
to us
12:30
especially
12:31
those of
12:32
us
12:32
who are
12:32
parents
12:33
that our
12:34
faith
12:34
matters
12:35
and our
12:36
example
12:37
matters
12:38
and what
12:38
we do
12:39
may have
12:40
future
12:41
impact
12:41
in
12:42
generations
12:42
to come.
12:44
But we
12:44
read in
12:45
Exodus
12:45
chapter 1
12:46
that it
12:46
was a
12:47
dark
12:47
period
12:47
in
12:48
Israel's
12:49
history.
12:50
They
12:50
were as
12:50
a nation
12:51
enslaved
12:51
and Pharaoh
12:53
who had
12:53
them
12:53
enslaved
12:54
feared
12:54
their
12:55
growing
12:55
numbers.
12:57
And so
12:57
he orders
12:58
the
12:58
indiscriminate
12:59
slaughter
12:59
of Hebrew
13:01
baby
13:02
boys.
13:03
This is
13:03
state
13:04
sponsored
13:05
evil.
13:06
This is
13:06
government
13:07
authority
13:07
being used
13:08
to oppose
13:09
God's
13:10
purposes
13:10
and to
13:11
snuff
13:11
out
13:12
vulnerable
13:13
life.
13:14
We may
13:14
say well
13:15
what's the
13:15
difference
13:16
to 2026?
13:17
Because
13:18
that is
13:18
still
13:19
happening.
13:20
As we
13:21
see
13:21
abortion
13:22
on
13:22
the
13:23
increase
13:23
but that's
13:24
a different
13:24
matter
13:25
not for
13:25
this
13:26
evening.
13:27
But
13:28
Moses'
13:29
parents
13:29
refused
13:30
to
13:30
comply.
13:32
Exodus
13:32
tells us
13:33
that they
13:34
saw that
13:34
the child
13:35
was special
13:36
that he
13:36
was
13:36
beautiful
13:38
and that
13:39
by faith
13:41
they acted.
13:43
By faith
13:43
they believed
13:44
God's
13:45
covenant
13:46
promises
13:47
and they
13:48
acted
13:49
according
13:50
to them.
13:51
Pharaoh
13:51
looked
13:52
powerful
13:52
he looked
13:54
imposing
13:55
fearful
13:56
of him
13:57
I'm sure
13:57
they were
13:58
but they
13:59
recognized
14:00
that God's
14:01
promise
14:02
was greater
14:03
that God's
14:05
promises
14:05
were stronger
14:07
and so they
14:08
acted
14:09
according
14:09
to their
14:10
faith.
14:11
faith.
14:12
They
14:12
didn't
14:12
act
14:12
recklessly
14:13
they
14:14
did
14:14
not
14:14
act
14:14
carelessly
14:15
but they
14:16
did
14:16
act
14:17
courageously.
14:19
Throughout
14:20
history
14:21
throughout
14:21
church
14:22
history
14:22
believers
14:23
have often
14:24
faced
14:25
moments
14:26
when
14:26
obedience
14:27
to God
14:28
conflicts
14:28
with the
14:30
spirit
14:30
of the
14:30
age.
14:32
That is
14:32
the case
14:32
today
14:33
as it
14:33
was
14:34
in
14:34
Moses
14:35
parents
14:35
day.
14:36
If we
14:37
stand
14:37
firm
14:38
for the
14:39
Lord
14:39
it may
14:40
cost
14:40
us.
14:41
It may
14:42
cost
14:42
us
14:42
significantly.
14:44
In
14:45
many
14:45
workplaces
14:46
today
14:46
a Christian
14:48
believer
14:48
is
14:49
under
14:50
pressure
14:50
to
14:51
affirm
14:52
that
14:53
which
14:53
the
14:54
Bible
14:54
does
14:54
not
14:55
affirm.
14:56
Students
14:57
and
14:57
pupils
14:58
in
14:58
schools
14:59
are
14:59
forced
15:00
to
15:00
remain
15:00
silent
15:01
about
15:02
biblical
15:02
truths
15:03
as
15:03
propaganda
15:04
of
15:05
one
15:05
kind
15:05
or
15:05
another
15:06
is
15:06
peddled.
15:07
Business
15:08
owners
15:08
face
15:09
ethical
15:10
decisions
15:10
that
15:11
may
15:11
cost
15:11
them
15:12
dearly
15:13
financially
15:14
because
15:14
of
15:15
their
15:15
faith.
15:16
But
15:16
the
15:16
question
15:17
comes
15:17
in
15:17
all
15:18
of
15:18
these
15:18
circumstances
15:19
who
15:20
or
15:20
what
15:21
do
15:21
we
15:21
fear?
15:23
Will
15:23
we
15:24
fear
15:24
God
15:25
or will
15:25
we
15:26
fear
15:26
the
15:27
current
15:27
spirit
15:28
of the
15:28
age
15:29
the
15:29
people
15:29
around
15:30
about
15:30
us?
15:31
Moses
15:32
parents
15:33
feared
15:33
the
15:34
Lord
15:34
because
15:35
their
15:35
faith
15:36
saw
15:36
beyond
15:37
the
15:37
immediate
15:37
threat
15:38
of
15:38
Pharaoh.
15:39
their
15:40
faith
15:41
remembered
15:41
that
15:42
every
15:43
earthly
15:43
power
15:44
is
15:44
temporary
15:45
but
15:47
God's
15:47
kingdom
15:47
is
15:48
not.
15:48
It
15:49
is
15:49
eternal.
15:52
And
15:52
so
15:52
they
15:52
acted
15:53
according
15:54
to
15:54
their
15:55
faith
15:55
according
15:56
to
15:56
the
15:57
promises
15:57
that
15:58
they
15:58
knew
15:58
they
15:58
trusted
15:59
in
16:00
God
16:01
despite
16:02
present
16:03
danger.
16:04
the
16:08
question
16:08
for us
16:09
is
16:09
when
16:09
pressure
16:10
comes
16:10
and
16:11
if
16:11
you're
16:11
a
16:11
Christian
16:11
believer
16:12
and
16:13
you're
16:13
living
16:13
faithfully
16:14
and
16:14
unashamedly
16:15
for
16:16
the
16:16
gospel
16:17
that
16:17
pressure
16:18
will
16:18
come
16:18
that
16:19
opposition
16:20
will
16:21
come
16:21
and
16:22
so
16:22
the
16:23
question
16:23
is
16:23
do
16:23
we
16:24
compromise
16:24
do
16:25
we
16:25
compromise
16:26
quickly
16:26
do
16:27
we
16:27
remain
16:28
silent
16:28
when
16:29
we
16:29
should
16:30
have
16:30
spoken
16:31
do
16:32
we
16:32
trust
16:33
God's
16:33
sovereignty
16:34
and
16:35
his
16:36
power
16:36
even
16:37
when
16:38
the
16:39
circumstances
16:39
around
16:40
about
16:40
us
16:40
may
16:40
feel
16:41
imposing
16:41
and
16:42
threatening
16:43
you see
16:43
faith
16:44
does
16:44
not
16:44
eliminate
16:45
fear
16:46
but
16:47
faith
16:48
obeys
16:48
God
16:49
despite
16:49
that
16:51
fear
16:51
and
16:53
so
16:53
we
16:53
see
16:53
a
16:53
faith
16:54
that
16:54
trusts
16:54
God
16:55
despite
16:56
the
16:56
present
16:57
danger
16:57
secondly
16:59
in
16:59
verses
16:59
24
17:00
to
17:00
26
17:01
we
17:01
see
17:01
a
17:01
faith
17:01
that
17:02
chooses
17:02
!
17:02
a
17:03
faith
17:03
that
17:03
chooses
17:04
Christ
17:05
over
17:06
the
17:06
world's
17:06
treasures
17:07
by
17:09
faith
17:10
Moses
17:10
when he
17:11
was
17:11
grown
17:11
up
17:12
refused
17:12
to
17:13
be
17:13
called
17:13
the
17:13
son
17:14
of
17:14
Pharaoh's
17:14
daughter
17:15
choosing
17:15
rather
17:16
to be
17:16
mistreated
17:17
with
17:17
the
17:17
people
17:17
of
17:18
God
17:18
than
17:18
to
17:18
enjoy
17:19
the
17:19
fleeting
17:19
pleasures
17:20
of
17:21
sin
17:22
he
17:23
considered
17:23
the
17:23
reproach
17:24
of
17:24
Christ
17:24
greater
17:25
than
17:26
the
17:26
treasures
17:27
of
17:28
Egypt
17:28
for
17:28
he
17:28
was
17:28
looking
17:29
forward
17:29
to
17:30
his
17:30
reward
17:31
this
17:32
has
17:32
got
17:32
to
17:32
be
17:32
one
17:33
of
17:33
the
17:33
greatest
17:33
renunciations
17:35
in
17:36
scripture
17:37
Moses
17:37
you could
17:39
say
17:39
had landed
17:40
on his
17:40
feet
17:41
he had
17:42
it
17:42
all
17:43
he had
17:44
access
17:44
to
17:44
power
17:45
and
17:46
prestige
17:47
and
17:48
privilege
17:49
he had
17:50
access
17:50
to
17:51
education
17:52
and
17:53
status
17:54
and
17:54
comfort
17:55
and
17:56
influence
17:57
faith
18:01
and
18:02
he
18:02
left
18:03
at
18:03
the
18:03
center
18:04
of
18:04
the
18:05
greatest
18:05
empire
18:06
of
18:06
his
18:07
day
18:07
humanly
18:08
speaking
18:08
Moses
18:10
had
18:10
made
18:10
it
18:11
he
18:11
landed
18:12
on
18:12
his
18:12
feet
18:12
he
18:12
won
18:13
life's
18:14
lottery
18:14
and
18:16
yet
18:16
he
18:16
renounces
18:17
it
18:17
he
18:18
refuses
18:19
it
18:19
he
18:20
walks
18:20
away
18:21
from
18:21
it
18:22
why
18:23
because
18:26
faith
18:26
changes
18:27
how we
18:28
evaluate
18:29
life
18:30
faith
18:31
changes
18:32
how we
18:33
evaluate
18:33
life
18:35
notice
18:36
the three
18:36
deliberate
18:37
choices
18:37
that Moses
18:38
makes
18:39
here
18:39
number one
18:40
he refuses
18:41
he refuses
18:43
to be
18:44
known
18:44
as
18:45
Pharaoh's
18:46
daughter
18:47
a reminder
18:48
to us
18:49
that sometimes
18:50
faith says
18:51
no
18:52
that can
18:54
be one of
18:55
the most
18:55
difficult
18:55
words
18:56
for us
18:56
to learn
18:57
can't
18:57
it
18:57
in life
18:59
we think
18:59
we have
19:00
to be
19:00
open
19:00
to
19:00
everything
19:01
we think
19:02
we have
19:02
to say
19:03
yes
19:03
to
19:03
everything
19:04
but
19:04
sometimes
19:05
faith
19:06
leads
19:06
us
19:06
to say
19:07
no
19:07
there
19:09
are
19:09
identities
19:10
and
19:11
opportunities
19:11
that are
19:12
offered
19:13
by the
19:13
world
19:14
that
19:14
we
19:14
cannot
19:15
accept
19:16
because
19:17
we
19:17
will
19:18
capitulate
19:19
to their
19:20
way of
19:20
thinking
19:20
we will
19:21
assimilate
19:21
into
19:22
their
19:22
mindset
19:22
we will
19:23
compromise
19:24
our
19:25
faith
19:25
so
19:25
sometimes
19:26
we
19:26
have
19:26
to
19:27
refuse
19:28
Moses
19:29
would not
19:30
allow himself
19:31
to be
19:32
defined
19:32
by
19:32
Egyptian
19:33
privilege
19:34
as
19:35
alluring
19:35
and as
19:36
enticing
19:37
I'm sure
19:38
as that
19:38
may have
19:39
been
19:39
he'd
19:40
rather
19:41
identify
19:41
himself
19:42
with the
19:43
Lord's
19:44
covenant
19:44
people
19:45
so he
19:45
refuses
19:46
but he
19:47
also
19:47
chooses
19:48
he chose
19:50
rather
19:50
to be
19:51
mistreated
19:51
with
19:52
the
19:53
people
19:53
of
19:53
God
19:54
than
19:54
to
19:54
enjoy
19:54
the
19:55
fleeting
19:55
pleasures
19:55
of
19:56
sin
19:57
astonishing
19:58
Moses is
20:00
willing to
20:00
turn away
20:01
from
20:01
privilege
20:02
and
20:03
comfort
20:03
and
20:04
ease
20:05
and
20:05
prestige
20:06
and to
20:07
enter
20:07
into a
20:07
life of
20:08
suffering
20:09
not because
20:11
suffering in
20:11
itself is
20:12
good or
20:13
inviting
20:14
but because
20:15
faith values
20:17
the Lord
20:18
above
20:19
comfort
20:19
so he
20:22
refuses
20:22
he chooses
20:23
and he
20:24
considers
20:25
he
20:26
considered
20:27
the
20:28
reproach
20:28
of Christ
20:29
greater
20:30
wealth
20:31
than the
20:32
treasures
20:32
of Egypt
20:33
what does
20:34
considered
20:35
mean
20:35
it means
20:36
he calculated
20:37
!
20:38
it means
20:39
he evaluated!
20:40
it means
20:41
he considered
20:42
carefully
20:42
he did
20:43
the
20:44
maths
20:45
he looked
20:45
at
20:46
Egypt's
20:46
treasures
20:47
and they
20:47
would have
20:48
been vast
20:49
and amazing
20:50
and enticing
20:51
but then he
20:53
considered them
20:53
in light of
20:54
God's
20:55
promises
20:55
and they
20:56
paled into
20:57
insignificance
20:59
he concluded
21:01
that God's
21:02
promises
21:03
were worth
21:05
infinitely
21:06
more
21:07
than the
21:08
treasures
21:08
of Egypt
21:09
and he
21:10
regarded
21:11
disgrace
21:12
for the
21:13
sake
21:13
of
21:13
Christ
21:14
the
21:14
reproach
21:15
of
21:15
Christ
21:16
now if
21:18
you're
21:18
awake
21:18
after your
21:19
Sunday
21:19
lunch
21:20
at the
21:21
moment
21:21
you might
21:21
be thinking
21:22
to yourself
21:22
hang on
21:23
a minute
21:23
Moses
21:24
was born
21:25
way before
21:26
Jesus
21:27
was
21:28
how on
21:28
earth
21:29
can we
21:29
be talking
21:30
about the
21:30
reproach
21:31
of Christ
21:32
here because
21:32
salvation is
21:33
always through
21:34
Christ
21:34
the Old
21:36
Testament
21:36
saints
21:37
looked
21:38
forward
21:38
to the
21:39
Messiah
21:40
that was
21:40
to come
21:41
believing
21:42
that he
21:43
would come
21:43
trusting
21:44
that he
21:45
would come
21:45
just as we
21:46
look back
21:46
and as we
21:47
give thanks
21:48
for what
21:48
has been
21:49
accomplished
21:49
on our
21:51
behalf
21:52
and so
21:54
faith
21:54
asks the
21:55
question
21:55
what is
21:56
more
21:57
valuable
21:57
immediate
21:59
gain
22:00
or faithfulness
22:02
to the
22:02
Lord
22:02
was it not
22:04
Jesus himself
22:05
who said
22:05
for what
22:06
good is
22:07
it for
22:07
a man
22:07
to gain
22:08
the whole
22:09
world
22:10
yet forfeit
22:12
his soul
22:13
Moses
22:15
understood
22:15
that
22:16
and Moses
22:17
was willing
22:18
to turn
22:18
away from
22:19
the immediate
22:19
gain
22:20
the immediate
22:21
ease
22:22
the immediate
22:23
goodness of
22:24
Egypt and
22:24
all that it
22:25
had to offer
22:26
in order to
22:27
exercise a
22:28
faithfulness
22:29
to God
22:30
yeah
22:31
Egypt looked
22:33
impressive
22:34
and the
22:35
riches
22:36
looked
22:36
enticing
22:37
but he
22:38
recognized
22:38
they were
22:39
temporary
22:40
they were
22:42
temporary
22:43
what are
22:45
the treasures
22:46
of Egypt
22:46
in your
22:47
life
22:47
at the
22:48
moment
22:49
career
22:51
advancement
22:52
at any
22:53
cost
22:53
financial
22:55
security
22:56
is the
22:56
ultimate
22:57
goal
22:57
social
22:59
acceptance
23:00
personal
23:01
autonomy
23:02
comfort
23:02
and convenience
23:03
etc
23:04
etc
23:05
now none
23:06
of these
23:06
things in
23:07
and of
23:07
themselves
23:08
are evil
23:09
but they
23:09
become
23:10
dangerous
23:10
when they
23:11
take the
23:12
throne of
23:12
our lives
23:13
when they
23:13
compete
23:13
with Christ
23:14
so we
23:16
have to
23:16
check our
23:17
faith
23:17
fact
23:18
check our
23:18
faith
23:19
against
23:19
the likes
23:20
of Moses
23:20
what would
23:22
we
23:22
willingly
23:22
refuse
23:23
for
23:24
Christ
23:24
what would
23:27
you
23:27
willingly
23:27
sacrifice
23:28
in this
23:30
world
23:30
of
23:30
temporary
23:31
gain
23:32
for
23:33
Christ
23:34
what are
23:36
you
23:36
willing
23:37
to
23:37
lose
23:38
what are
23:38
you
23:38
unwilling
23:39
to
23:40
lose
23:41
your
23:42
answer
23:42
reveals
23:44
where your
23:45
true treasure
23:46
lies
23:46
Moses was
23:49
willing to
23:50
turn
23:50
from that
23:52
there was a
23:53
faith that
23:54
trusted
23:54
despite
23:55
present
23:55
danger
23:56
there was a
23:57
faith that
23:57
chooses
23:58
Christ
23:59
over and
23:59
above all
24:00
of the
24:00
riches
24:00
of this
24:02
world
24:02
verse 27
24:03
we see a
24:04
faith that
24:04
endures
24:05
a faith that
24:07
perseveres
24:08
because it
24:09
sees the
24:10
unseen
24:10
king
24:11
by faith
24:13
Moses left
24:15
Egypt
24:15
not being
24:17
afraid of
24:17
the anger
24:18
of the
24:18
king
24:18
for he
24:19
endured
24:20
as seeing
24:21
him
24:21
who is
24:23
invisible
24:24
Moses
24:25
persevered
24:27
in
24:27
hardship
24:28
he endured
24:29
the difficulty
24:30
because he
24:31
saw
24:31
with eyes
24:33
of faith
24:34
the
24:34
invisible
24:35
God
24:36
Pharaoh
24:37
was visible
24:38
strong
24:40
and imposing
24:40
powerful
24:42
God
24:43
was invisible
24:44
Pharaoh
24:46
seemed
24:46
powerful
24:47
God
24:48
could have
24:48
appeared
24:49
absent
24:50
and yet
24:52
Moses
24:52
he understood
24:54
reality
24:54
correctly
24:55
he understood
24:57
that the
24:57
invisible
24:58
God
24:59
was
24:59
infinitely
25:00
more
25:02
powerful
25:02
than
25:03
Pharaoh
25:04
if you go
25:06
home this
25:07
evening
25:07
and you
25:07
read
25:08
through
25:08
Pharaoh
25:09
through
25:09
Exodus
25:10
you'll read
25:11
a familiar
25:12
statement
25:13
from
25:14
Pharaoh
25:15
again and
25:15
again
25:16
who is
25:17
the Lord
25:17
he says
25:18
that's the
25:20
central question
25:21
in his
25:21
mind
25:21
because he
25:22
himself
25:23
believes
25:23
that he
25:24
is the
25:25
sovereign
25:25
that he
25:27
is the
25:27
one
25:27
in charge
25:29
that he
25:29
is the
25:30
one who
25:30
has all
25:30
power
25:31
how wrong
25:33
he was
25:33
the plagues
25:36
exposed that
25:37
truth
25:38
or that
25:39
claim
25:39
shall we
25:40
say
25:40
the Exodus
25:41
exposed that
25:43
claim
25:43
the Red Sea
25:45
reveals
25:46
the true
25:47
king
25:47
the one
25:49
alone who
25:49
has all
25:50
power
25:50
and all
25:51
dominion
25:52
and all
25:53
authority
25:54
you know
25:55
it's easy
25:55
for us
25:56
today as
25:56
Christian
25:57
believers
25:57
in modern
25:58
Scotland
25:59
to feel
25:59
increasingly
26:00
marginalized
26:01
maligned
26:03
and mocked
26:04
for our
26:05
faith
26:05
our convictions
26:07
can appear
26:08
to a
26:09
tolerant
26:10
and progressive
26:11
Scotland
26:12
weak
26:14
we can
26:16
fear
26:17
media
26:18
influence
26:18
or
26:19
academic
26:20
authority
26:21
or political
26:21
power
26:22
but appearances
26:23
can be
26:23
deceptive
26:24
Moses
26:25
reminds us
26:26
of that
26:27
because
26:27
we follow
26:28
the one
26:29
who is
26:29
above all
26:30
things
26:30
the one
26:31
who is
26:31
the king
26:32
of kings
26:32
the lord
26:33
of the lords
26:34
the one
26:34
in whom
26:35
all things
26:36
are possible
26:37
as we close
26:38
with this
26:38
morning
26:38
the one
26:39
who is
26:39
able to
26:39
do
26:40
immeasurably
26:41
more
26:41
than all
26:42
we could
26:43
ask
26:43
or even
26:45
imagine
26:46
and so
26:48
we can
26:48
stand
26:49
we can
26:49
endure
26:50
we can
26:50
persevere
26:52
even through
26:53
the hardest
26:53
of times
26:54
because we
26:55
look to
26:55
the one
26:55
who is
26:56
unchanging
26:56
and who
26:57
has promised
26:58
us
26:59
that there
27:00
is no
27:00
one
27:00
and nothing
27:01
that can
27:02
snatch
27:02
us
27:02
from his
27:03
hand
27:04
our faith
27:06
is rooted
27:07
in the one
27:08
who is
27:09
sovereign
27:10
not just
27:11
claims to
27:12
be
27:12
how do
27:14
we endure
27:14
difficult
27:15
seasons of
27:15
life
27:16
as Christian
27:17
believers
27:17
is it by
27:18
positive
27:18
thinking
27:19
no
27:19
is it by
27:20
self-confidence
27:21
absolutely
27:22
not
27:23
is it by
27:23
sheer
27:24
determination
27:25
no
27:26
we endure
27:28
by fixing
27:29
our eyes
27:30
on Jesus
27:31
the author
27:33
and the
27:34
sustainer
27:35
of
27:35
our
27:36
faith
27:37
and so
27:39
we have
27:39
another
27:40
question
27:40
what
27:41
dominates
27:42
our
27:42
thinking
27:43
what
27:44
dominates
27:45
your
27:45
thinking
27:46
is it
27:47
the visible
27:48
the temporary
27:50
or is it
27:51
the invisible
27:52
the eternal
27:54
Moses
27:57
was
27:59
resolute
27:59
in his
28:00
faith
28:00
and he
28:01
persevered
28:02
because he
28:03
looked
28:03
to the
28:05
Lord
28:05
and not
28:06
to the
28:07
immediate
28:07
fourthly
28:10
we see
28:10
a faith
28:11
that
28:11
rests
28:11
a faith
28:13
that
28:13
rests
28:13
in God's
28:14
provision
28:15
for salvation
28:16
verse 28
28:18
by faith
28:19
Moses kept
28:20
the Passover
28:21
and sprinkled
28:21
the blood
28:22
so that the
28:22
destroyer
28:23
of the
28:23
firstborn
28:24
might not
28:25
touch
28:25
them
28:26
the Passover
28:28
stands at the
28:29
heart of
28:30
Exodus
28:30
judgment
28:31
is coming
28:32
the firstborn
28:33
will die
28:34
Israel
28:35
well Israel
28:36
deserved judgment
28:37
just as much
28:38
as Egypt
28:39
did
28:39
the distinction
28:40
was not
28:41
that Israel
28:42
was righteous
28:42
and Egypt
28:43
was wicked
28:44
no the
28:45
distinction
28:45
was that
28:46
Israel
28:46
trusted
28:47
God's
28:48
provision
28:50
a lamb
28:51
dies
28:51
the blood
28:53
is spilt
28:53
the blood
28:54
is applied
28:55
to the
28:55
doorposts
28:56
and the
28:56
lintels
28:57
and the
28:57
judgment
28:58
of God
28:58
passes
28:59
over
29:00
the Passover
29:03
points us
29:04
to Christ
29:05
our Passover
29:07
lamb
29:08
here comes
29:09
the
29:10
sinless
29:11
spotless
29:11
lamb of
29:12
God
29:12
who takes
29:13
away
29:13
the sin
29:13
of the
29:14
world
29:15
salvation
29:16
comes
29:17
not by
29:18
effort
29:19
not through
29:20
morality
29:20
not through
29:22
religious
29:22
activity
29:23
salvation
29:24
comes
29:25
is applied
29:27
is received
29:28
in and through
29:28
Christ
29:29
and him
29:30
alone
29:32
for the
29:34
Lord's
29:35
people
29:35
if the
29:36
blood was
29:37
on the
29:37
door
29:38
they were
29:38
safe
29:39
a
29:40
frightened
29:41
Israelite
29:42
under
29:42
the blood
29:43
was safe
29:44
a confident
29:45
Israelite
29:47
under the
29:47
blood
29:48
was
29:48
safe
29:49
their
29:50
safety
29:51
rested
29:51
not on
29:52
the
29:52
strength
29:52
of their
29:53
faith
29:54
but on
29:55
the
29:55
object
29:55
of their
29:56
faith
29:56
who is
29:59
the
29:59
object
29:59
of your
30:00
faith
30:00
what
30:02
is the
30:03
object
30:03
of your
30:04
faith
30:05
if it's
30:06
anything
30:07
other than
30:08
Christ
30:08
himself
30:09
it will
30:10
fail you
30:11
your
30:14
church
30:14
attendance
30:15
your
30:16
religious
30:16
activity
30:17
your
30:18
moral
30:18
respectability
30:19
your
30:20
hard work
30:21
your
30:21
endurance
30:22
your
30:23
status
30:24
your
30:24
standing
30:25
irrelevant
30:26
how much
30:28
wealth
30:28
you amass
30:29
how much
30:29
you achieve
30:30
and accomplish
30:31
in your
30:33
career
30:33
irrelevant
30:34
the
30:36
answer of
30:37
Exodus
30:38
is a
30:39
reminder
30:39
to us
30:40
that only
30:41
the blood
30:41
saves
30:42
only those
30:43
who are
30:44
under the
30:44
blood
30:44
of the
30:45
lamb
30:45
are
30:46
saved
30:46
Moses
30:47
rested
30:48
in that
30:48
are you
30:49
resting
30:50
in that
30:50
his faith
30:53
was courageous
30:54
because it
30:54
trusted
30:55
it chose
30:57
it endured
30:58
it rested
31:00
in the
31:01
provision of
31:02
God
31:02
and fifthly
31:03
and finally
31:04
his faith
31:05
obeyed
31:06
even
31:08
when God's
31:09
commands
31:09
seemed
31:10
unusual
31:11
even
31:13
when God's
31:13
commands
31:14
seemed
31:15
unusual
31:16
by faith
31:17
the people
31:18
crossed the
31:19
Red Sea
31:19
as if
31:21
on
31:21
dry
31:22
land
31:23
after that
31:24
in the
31:24
next verse
31:25
the walls
31:26
of Jericho
31:27
fall down
31:27
again
31:28
because
31:29
of faith
31:30
stand at
31:31
the sea
31:32
and wait
31:33
the sea
31:33
on one
31:34
side
31:34
and an
31:35
Egyptian
31:35
army
31:36
approaching
31:36
on the
31:37
other
31:37
stand
31:38
wait
31:38
we could
31:39
have died
31:40
in Egypt
31:40
they say
31:41
Moses
31:42
says
31:42
wait
31:43
and see
31:43
what God
31:44
will do
31:44
march
31:46
around
31:46
the city
31:46
march
31:48
around
31:48
the city
31:48
seems
31:50
not like
31:51
the greatest
31:52
military
31:53
strategy
31:53
ever
31:54
and yet
31:55
as they
31:55
exercised
31:56
faith
31:57
the sea
31:57
is parted
31:58
and the
31:59
walls
31:59
fall
32:00
down
32:00
the point
32:00
being
32:01
that
32:01
God's
32:02
ways
32:02
are not
32:02
our
32:03
ways
32:03
and
32:04
sometimes
32:04
we just
32:05
have to
32:05
stand
32:06
and wait
32:07
to see
32:08
what God
32:09
will
32:10
do
32:11
many
32:12
aspects
32:13
of the
32:13
Christian
32:13
faith
32:14
would seem
32:15
foolish
32:16
to the
32:16
world
32:17
around
32:17
about
32:17
us
32:18
forgive
32:18
your
32:19
enemies
32:19
why
32:21
love
32:22
those
32:22
who
32:22
oppose
32:23
you
32:23
why
32:24
prioritize
32:25
gathering
32:26
together
32:27
as the
32:27
Lord's
32:27
people
32:28
why
32:29
give
32:30
generously
32:31
why
32:31
pray
32:32
consistently
32:33
why
32:34
how can
32:36
that
32:36
possibly
32:36
work
32:37
says
32:38
the
32:38
unbeliever
32:39
we say
32:41
because God
32:41
has spoken
32:42
and that
32:42
is
32:43
enough
32:43
if our
32:45
trust
32:45
is in
32:46
him
32:47
so as
32:50
we
32:50
conclude
32:50
then
32:51
let's
32:52
review
32:52
the
32:52
evidence
32:53
Moses
32:54
teaches
32:55
us
32:55
that
32:55
a
32:56
courageous
32:56
faith
32:57
is a
32:58
faith
32:58
that
32:58
trusts
32:59
God
33:00
despite
33:01
danger
33:02
it's a
33:03
faith
33:04
that
33:04
chooses
33:04
Christ
33:05
over
33:05
every
33:06
worldly
33:06
treasure
33:07
it's a
33:08
faith
33:08
that
33:08
endures
33:09
by
33:09
fixing
33:10
its
33:10
eye
33:11
on
33:11
the
33:11
invisible
33:12
God
33:12
it's
33:13
a
33:14
faith
33:14
that
33:14
rests
33:15
entirely
33:15
upon
33:16
God's
33:17
provision
33:17
for
33:18
salvation
33:18
and
33:20
is a
33:20
faith
33:20
that
33:21
obeys
33:21
God's
33:22
word
33:22
even
33:23
when
33:24
the
33:24
path
33:24
seems
33:25
unclear
33:26
and so
33:28
Hebrews
33:29
11
33:29
is not
33:30
merely
33:30
to
33:30
inspire
33:31
admiration
33:33
although
33:34
it does
33:34
that
33:34
but it
33:35
is
33:36
to
33:37
examine
33:37
ourselves
33:39
examine
33:41
where we
33:42
stand
33:42
and
33:43
who
33:43
we
33:44
are
33:44
when
33:46
the
33:46
world
33:47
pressures
33:47
us
33:47
what
33:48
do
33:48
we
33:48
do
33:48
when
33:50
comfort
33:51
competes
33:51
with
33:51
Christ
33:52
what
33:53
do
33:53
we
33:53
choose
33:54
when
33:55
trials
33:56
come
33:56
where
33:57
do
33:57
we
33:57
look
33:57
when
33:59
we
33:59
think
33:59
about
34:00
salvation
34:00
and
34:00
what
34:01
are
34:01
we
34:01
trusting
34:01
when
34:02
God
34:03
commands
34:03
do
34:03
we
34:04
obey
34:04
if
34:06
you're
34:06
like
34:07
me
34:07
and
34:07
you
34:07
answer
34:07
those
34:08
questions
34:08
what
34:08
you'll
34:08
say
34:09
is
34:09
well
34:09
I
34:09
fail
34:09
I
34:10
fail
34:11
to
34:11
measure
34:11
up
34:11
well
34:12
the
34:12
good
34:12
news
34:13
is
34:13
we're
34:13
not
34:13
alone
34:13
Moses
34:14
himself
34:15
failed
34:15
didn't
34:16
he
34:17
he
34:18
sinned
34:18
he
34:19
doubted
34:20
he
34:21
disobeyed
34:22
the
34:23
point
34:23
is
34:24
that
34:24
Hebrews
34:24
11
34:25
is
34:25
not
34:25
pointing
34:25
us
34:26
to
34:26
heroes
34:26
but
34:28
it's
34:28
pointing
34:28
us
34:28
to
34:29
the
34:29
hero
34:29
who
34:29
they
34:29
worshipped
34:30
chapter
34:32
12
34:32
reminds
34:33
us
34:33
of
34:33
that
34:34
therefore
34:34
as
34:35
a
34:35
result
34:35
of
34:35
all
34:36
of
34:36
these
34:36
people
34:37
all
34:37
of
34:37
these
34:37
examples
34:38
of
34:38
faith
34:38
since
34:39
we
34:39
are
34:39
surrounded
34:40
by
34:40
so
34:40
great
34:41
a
34:41
cloud
34:41
of
34:41
witnesses
34:42
let
34:43
us
34:43
also
34:44
lay
34:44
aside
34:44
every
34:45
weight
34:45
and
34:46
sin
34:46
which
34:46
clings
34:47
so
34:48
closely
34:48
and let
34:49
us
34:49
run
34:49
with
34:50
endurance
34:50
the race
34:51
that is
34:51
set
34:51
before
34:51
us
34:52
looking
34:53
to
34:53
Jesus
34:53
the
34:54
founder
34:55
and
34:55
perfecter
34:56
the
34:56
author
34:56
the
34:56
pioneer
34:57
of
34:58
our
34:58
faith
34:58
that
35:00
is
35:00
is
35:00
to
35:00
whom
35:01
we
35:01
are
35:02
to
35:02
look
35:02
Jesus
35:04
Moses
35:06
left
35:06
Pharaoh's
35:07
palace
35:07
Jesus
35:08
left
35:09
heaven's
35:10
glory
35:10
Moses
35:12
identified
35:13
with
35:13
God's
35:13
people
35:14
Christ
35:14
became
35:15
one
35:16
of
35:16
us
35:16
Moses
35:17
delivered
35:18
Israel
35:18
from
35:19
slavery
35:19
Christ
35:21
delivers
35:21
us
35:22
from
35:22
sin
35:22
and
35:23
death
35:24
Moses
35:25
led
35:25
through
35:26
the
35:26
Red
35:26
Sea
35:27
Jesus
35:28
leads
35:29
us
35:29
through
35:29
judgment
35:30
and
35:30
into
35:31
eternal
35:32
life
35:32
Moses
35:34
trusted
35:34
God's
35:35
provision
35:35
Christ
35:36
became
35:37
God's
35:38
provision
35:39
I wonder
35:40
this evening
35:41
are you
35:42
looking
35:42
to Christ
35:43
because
35:45
every
35:45
example
35:46
in
35:47
Hebrews
35:47
11
35:48
directs
35:49
our
35:49
attention
35:50
to
35:51
him
35:51
may
35:52
God
35:53
grant
35:53
each
35:53
and
35:54
every
35:54
one
35:54
of
35:54
us
35:55
a
35:55
faith
35:56
that
35:56
trusts
35:56
chooses
35:58
endures
36:00
rests
36:01
and
36:02
obeys
36:03
until
36:03
the
36:03
day
36:04
that
36:04
we
36:04
see
36:04
by
36:05
sight
36:05
and
36:06
not
36:06
just
36:07
by
36:07
faith
36:07
let's
36:08
pray
36:08
God
36:10
our
36:10
father
36:10
we
36:10
thank
36:11
you
36:11
for
36:11
your
36:11
word
36:12
and
36:12
for
36:12
its
36:13
challenge
36:14
to
36:14
us
36:15
for
36:15
the
36:15
inspiration
36:16
contained
36:16
within
36:16
it
36:17
and
36:17
the
36:17
example
36:18
set
36:18
forth
36:19
for
36:19
us
36:19
we
36:20
pray
36:20
that
36:21
we
36:21
might
36:21
exhibit
36:21
that
36:22
same
36:22
courageous
36:23
faith
36:23
that
36:24
Moses
36:24
had
36:25
by
36:26
trusting
36:27
and
36:28
choosing
36:28
and
36:30
persevering
36:30
and resting
36:31
and obeying
36:32
until you
36:33
return
36:34
