INTRODUCTION \u2014 WHAT IS EXODUS ABOUT?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exodus is more than a story about Israel escaping Egypt. It tells us who __________ is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is the God who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Main idea:<\/strong>
    God brings His people out of __________________ so that He can bring them into __________________ with Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. GOD HEARS THE CRY OF THE OPPRESSED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read Exodus 2:23\u201325<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Israel’s suffering did not mean God was __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    God:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Important truth:<\/strong>
      We don’t always get to see what God is doing. We are called to __________________ Him even when we don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God’s silence does not mean God’s __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. GOD CALLS MOSES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Read Exodus 3:7\u201310<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Moses was about ______ years old when God called him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Moses focused on his __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God focused on His __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God did not tell Moses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cYou are sufficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God told him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cI will be __________________ you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What does this teach us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God’s call does not depend upon our confidence in __________________. It depends upon our confidence in __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. THE GOD WHO SAYS, \u201cI AM\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Read Exodus 3:14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God told Moses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cI AM WHO I AM.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      God is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Our confidence is not ultimately in our __________________.
        Our confidence is in __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The world changes. People change. Circumstances change. But God remains __________________.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        4. REDEMPTION REQUIRES A PASSOVER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Read Exodus 12:13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The Passover involved the sacrifice of a __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Its blood was placed on the __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The Passover points us toward __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Paul declares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cChrist, our __________________ Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1 Corinthians 5:7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Israel needed deliverance from __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We need deliverance from __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The Gospel is not simply an invitation to improve ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It is the announcement that __________________ has acted to save us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        5. THE RED SEA \u2014 WHEN FAITH BECOMES TRUST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Read Exodus 14:13\u201314<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Behind Israel was __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In front of Israel was the __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        There appeared to be no way __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Moses told the people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD __________________ you today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Faith does not mean we will never face __________________ circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Faith means those circumstances do not have the __________________ word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sometimes God removes the difficult thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sometimes He takes us __________________ it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Personal Reflection:<\/strong>
        What \u201cRed Sea\u201d are you trusting God to help you cross?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        6. GOD DID NOT DELIVER THEM JUST TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Read Exodus 19:4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cI carried you on eagles\u2019 wings and brought you to __________________.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God did not simply rescue Israel __________________ something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        He rescued them __________________ Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Israel was delivered from slavery so they could become God’s __________________ people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Grace doesn’t simply get us out of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Grace brings us into __________________ with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        7. REDEMPTION LEADS TO HOLINESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Read Exodus 20:1\u20133<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God gave Israel His commandments after<\/strong> He delivered them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Grace comes __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Obedience __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We don’t obey in order to earn redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We obey because we have been __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        As Nazarenes, we believe God’s grace doesn’t merely forgive our past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God’s grace continues to __________________ us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God desires to __________________ us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Entire sanctification is about what God does __________________ us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God desires to fill us with __________________ love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Holiness becomes a way of life produced by the __________________ of God within us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        8. THE ULTIMATE BLESSING IS GOD’S PRESENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Read Exodus 33:14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God told Moses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cI will personally __________________ with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Moses understood that the greatest blessing wasn’t simply getting what he wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The greatest blessing is having __________________ with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Mature faith says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cGod, whatever Your plan is, I want You __________________ it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Personal Reflection:<\/strong>
        Am I more interested in God’s blessings, or in God’s presence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Israel was enslaved \u2192 Jesus is our __________________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God promised His presence \u2192 The Holy Spirit __________________ within God’s people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Revelation 21:3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The story that begins with God’s people in __________________ ends with God’s people in the __________________ of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        WHAT DOES EXODUS SAY TO US?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. God has not __________________ you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. God can use you even when you don’t feel __________________.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        3. Your obstacle is not greater than your __________________.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        4. Salvation is more than being __________________.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        5. God’s __________________ is the greatest gift.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        MY RESPONSE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This week, I need to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God __________________ me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God __________________ me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God can __________________ me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God wants to __________________ me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        God wants to __________________ with me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        My prayer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cLord, help me trust You when __________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        ____________________________________________________________________.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        ONE SENTENCE TO REMEMBER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cExodus teaches us that redemption is not merely God bringing us out of bondage; it is God bringing us into relationship with Himself\u2014into covenant, into holiness, and into His presence.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
