From Exodus 4, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores God’s special care and detailed plans for Moses. Chuck applies principles for every believer on God’s calling, God’s will, and God’s ways.
Reviewing Exodus 5 and 6, Pastor Chuck Swindoll recounts the anguish Moses felt as he waited for God to act. When things were harder than ever for Moses, however, he cultivated patience, wisdom, and dependence upon God.
Pharaoh’s heart was so hard, not even the destruction of the Egyptian landscape shook his evil resolve. Plague after plague descended upon the land in Exodus 7–10. Pastor Chuck Swindoll studies the relevance of each plague and vividly portrays what it was like to live through the disasters.
Much of what God told Moses required faith, including His instructions leading up to the angel of death passing over. Studying Exodus 11–12, Pastor Chuck Swindoll shares how God’s ways might not always seem logical to us, but our obedience yields blessing!
Can you remember your slavery, when you were unable to free yourself from the bondage of sin? Do you remember when Christ set you free? It was worth the wait, wasn't it? So let the celebration begin!
Under Moses’s leadership, the Israelites left the painful but familiar setting of Egypt. With the yoke of slavery broken from their necks, God’s people followed Him into an uncharted, unpredictable, unexpected wilderness. Their destination? Canaan. They had struck out on a journey none of them had ever dreamed possible…and right away they faced trials that tested their faith.
Moses—who was getting his travel directions from God—seemed to be taking a roundabout way to get to the ultimate destination. But God has a way of doing the unusual—from our perspective—to accomplish the remarkable.
Pastor Chuck Swindoll points out that God deliberately led the Israelites into an impossible situation in Exodus 14—being surrounded with no way out. Yet, that was exactly how God would ultimately protect them and work a colossal miracle.
It takes courage to stand against the crowd and speak the truth. Sometimes it isn’t easy, and it can be isolating and lonely. But that’s how God shapes our character—when we depend solely on Him for our strength.
