Aim: Hard heart rebellion ends with a losing battle
against God.
A)
Lord sends death of first born so Pharaoh will
let people go
(11:1-1-3) Lord said one more plague, then Pharaoh let’s you
go, neighbors ask for silver and gold
(4-10) Moses hot anger, Every firstborn son, animal dies
tonight Egypt, then officials will beg us to leave, Lord hardens Pharaoh’s
heart
(12:1-11) Lord said 10th day of this month, lamb
(1 year old, male, no defects) per
household, care for it 4 days, slaughter at twilight, blood on door frame
eating, roast all over fire (bitter herbs, unleavened bread), eat fast, burn
leftovers
(12-16) Lord – strikes every firstborn of people and animal
to judge gods of Egypt but will Passover houses with blood on door,
commemorate, generations, lasting ordinance
(17-20) Lord – Celebrate Festival of Unleavened Bread 14th
to 21st, out of Egypt
(21-30) Moses, elders – gives instructions, they obey
(26-27) children ask, tell them, LORD strikes,
every house mourns
(31-36) Pharaoh, Egyptians “leave now take our clothes, gold
and silver!”
Principle: What God says will happen, will happen. The only
certain thing in this world is God’s word.
Application: Do I trust God, does my obedience show that I
trust Him?
B)
Lord consecrates firstborn and commands Israel
to obey a lasting ordinance of Passover
(37-42) about 1 million Israelites left after 430 years,
LORD vigil, Israelites keep vigil to honor him
(43-51) LORDs Passover Restrictions; no foreigners, eat
inside, don’t break bones, community must celebrate it
(13:1-10) LORD - Consecrate every firstborn human and animal
male, annual observance, ordinance, teaching established
Principal: God’s ordinances have restrictions
Application: Do I understand that not everyone can partake
in God’s ordinances? Do I teach others about restrictions or shy away for
comfort and friendship sake?
C)
Moses understands God’s faithfulness and how to
communicate it
(11-16) LORD brings you to Canaanite as promised to
ancestors – tell children what this means
(17-18) God leads to Red Sea, short path = war with
Philistines might change their minds to return to Egypt
(19-22) Moses took bones of Joseph (grandfather) swore an
oath pillar of cloud, pillar of fire in front of people
(14:1-18) harden Pharaoh and Egyptians to gain glory
(19-25) LORD came between Egypt and Israel, as Israel
crossed the red sea, LORD looked at Egyptian army threw it into confusion “Let’s
get away!”
(26-31) LORD to Moses stretch out your hand over the sea, so
water flow back over the Egyptians – he did, they died, all of Israel was safe
(15:1-11) song to the LORD remembrance of his strength,
defense, salvation, name, majestic power and greatness,
(12-18) Prophetic song of judgment, redemption, glory, God’s
home, inheritance, LORD reigns forever
(19-21) Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister took a tamboreen
lead a song of praise
Principal: Prophetic words come from true prophets who have heard
from and experienced God in present experience.
Application: Will trust in scripture as word from God to
individuals who have encountered God?
