The Story, Chapter 4, Deliverance

Our church is using “The Story,” a retelling of the famous stories of the Bible from Creation to Redemption to Resurrection.  There are several opportunities during the week to participate in a small group using this resource. Today we were on Exodus 3 and Moses.   In today’s sermon by Pastor Paul we heard about Moses--and God's plan of deliverance.  Pastor Buff says this is the center piece—the story of how God will save and rescue through the shed blood  (door posts).  Lots of sub-texts, like how a Pharaoh who didn't know about Joseph decided the population of the Hebrew slaves was becoming too great, so he killed their babies to limit their population growth.  Obama isn't the first (or last) ruler to take population control into his own hands. The government wasn't greater than God then either.
