Our Journey of Faith series takes an interesting turn on the path this week as we look into the life of Moses. We need to be reminded that the book of Hebrews is written to a group of Christians facing opposition and even persecution for their faith in Christ. Moses, and his parents are commended for their faith in times of opposition, and even though it was centuries before the life of Christ, Moses looked to the promised Messiah in faith. It was that faith in the promise of God that caused Moses to despise all the things he could have had from living in the Egyptian palace, seeing a greater value in what God was offering him.

We will do everything in life motivated by one of two things: Love or Fear. The love that believers in God show is an expression of their faith in God to provide in the now, and to fulfil the future promises he makes to us. In Exodus 1 & 2 we see the love for God that the enslaved Israelites had and that Moses himself had, which led them to a vibrant and bold faith in God to do only what God can do. While they had a lot of reasons to live with fear, they chose not to because they loved God and trusted him to meet their needs. That is the kind of faith we all need to have as we walk life’s journey. Join me this Sunday as we see Faith that Dispels Fear.
