I Have Made You Like God to Pharaoh – Exodus 6:28-7:5

Rev. Jerry Hamstra | Added December 12th, 2010

This sermon focuses on the idea that God made Moses like God to Pharaoh.  This idea is related to the fact that God made man in his image to represent him in ruling the creation.  Jesus Christ fulfilled this perfectly.  Christians are in Christ and thus called be like him and represent him as he pursues his goal of the coming of the kingdom of God.

Moses’ and Aaron’s Genealogy – Exodus 6:13-27

Rev. Jerry Hamstra | Added December 5th, 2010

Genealogies in Scripture show us that the characters and stories in the Bible are historical and they show us how God works through families and generations.  This genealogy focuses on the line of Aaron as an early indication that God had chosen Aaron and his descendants for the priesthood.  Hebrews 7 shows us that the Aaronic priesthood was not sufficient to truly deal with our sins and so Jesus was not of the line of Aaron but of the order of Melchizedek.

Moses’ Questions and God’s Response – Exodus 5:22–6:12

Rev. Jerry Hamstra | Added November 21st, 2010

The way that Moses questions God shows that God allows us to question him when we cannot understand how God is dealing with us.  God’s answer, however, shows that the help that we need in difficulties is not answers, but the promises that he has already given.

I Am Slow of Speech – Exodus 4:1-17

Rev. Jerry Hamstra | Added October 31st, 2010

This passage reminds us that most of what God does directly or through us he does through his Word.  Moses was aware of weakness when it came to speaking, but God knew of that before he called him to lead his people out of Israel.  The same is the case with us.  God knows all about our weaknesses and yet he call us to serve him because he is not hindered by our weaknesses.
