Ep 06 - Three Important Signs from God

In this insightful episode, scripture scholar Frances Hogan delves into the narrative found within chapters 3 and 4 of the Book of Exodus. The episode opens with the moment when God commissions Moses to undertake a monumental task: to confront Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelite people. As God outlines the plan and mission, Moses grapples with the weight of this divine calling. Aware of the trials and temptations ahead, Moses seeks reassurance from God, requesting a sign to validate his mission to the Israelites. God responds by granting three significant signs, each carrying great symbolism and serving as tangible evidence of divine intervention. Throughout the episode, Frances Hogan provides commentary on the symbolism and significance of these signs, shining a light on the deeper meaning behind God's actions and Moses' evolving role as a servant of God.  Bible References: Ex.3:16-20 — The missionIs.46:10 — God knows everything beforehand1Pt.5:8-9 — The Christians who were entering into spiritual warfare1Sm.15:22-23 — Obedience to God is the secret of successEx.4:2-3 — The serpent stayed on the groundSir.2:1 — Everyone called by God has to face trials and be tested2Tm.3:16 — The trials and temptations are about obedience to the voice of God1Jn.5:19 — The world under the influence of evilRv.12:9 — The deceiver of the whole worldPs.106:23 — Moses, the intercessory who stood on the breachJn.12:31 — Staff on the groundJer.17:9-10 — God sees the heartMk.7:21-23 — The leprosyLev.26:41; Dt.10:16; Jer.4:4; Rm.2:29 — Circumcision of the heart We delve into the captivating history of how God liberated the children of Israel from slavery, forging them into a nation of His own.
