How will the Israelites get away from the old?

Remember the OLD?• Slavery to Fear• No trust – some people aren’t worth much• No love – some people are to be used• No justice – some people don’t deserve a life• The old life is about storing up stuff for the rich.

Old = Slavery to Fear

What’s more powerful than fear?

How did God beat fear?

A loving mother and daughter…

…and a harmless little baby..

Moses!

Didn’t need no…

• Armies, tanks, guns, planes

Didn’t need lots of…

• Money

Didn’t need…• Superstars• Celebrities • Pop singers• Hip hop dancers• Pro-athletes• People who make

lots of $$

Instead, God snuck His chosen one right under the enemies’ noses.

Moses grew up a prince of Egypt.

But before God would use Moses, Moses needed to learn that…

• Saving God’s people would not be by his own strength.

• God didn’t need him to beat people up.

But before God would use Moses, Moses needed to learn that…

• It wouldn’t be about how great he was.

• GOD’S POWER is more awesome than ANYTHING!!!

To learn to be humble, it only took Moses…

…in the desert.

Being humble is…• Believing & Obeying God.

• Being free from being a bully.

• The meaning of humility in the Bible is one of loving others, not being a wimp!

Like Abraham!

Why is humility sooooo IMPORTANT?!

Why is humility sooo important?!

So you see, the real reason to be humble is…

GOD gives GRACE to

the HUMBLE.

How would the Israelites be saved from slavery to

fear?

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves,

it is the gift of God Eph.2:8-10

What’s so awesome about
