Getting Back on Track | Exodus 6

This week we will be exploring Exodus 6:1-7:7 together, Getting Back on Track. Have you ever messed things up in a big way? Have you ever felt like you drifted so far from the Lord that you didn't know how to get back? Have you ever been disappointed in God? These can be common experiences in the Christian life. When things don't go according to plan...or God doesn't come through in the way that we want or expect...or we find ourselves in a mess that we can't seem to get out of...then it is easy to drift away from the Lord. To get stuck in a rut. This is where Moses is at the end of Exodus 5. He has messed things up royally before Pharaoh. The people of Israel are suffering more. And God doesn't seem to be coming through the way that he expected. Moses is rejected, dejected, doubting, and pouting. It is at this point that God steps in and acts. Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh... (6:1) Exodus 6 is a key turning point in the book of Exodus. "Super Moses" is gone. In his defeat and despair, Moses is now going to see God's glory, power, faithfulness, and redemption on full display. Moses will come to know that He is the Lord. Israel will come to know that He is the Lord. Egypt will come to know that He is the Lord. As G. Campbell Morgan once said: The supreme need in every hour of difficulty and depression is a vision of God. To see Him is to see all else in proper proportion and perspective. May we catch a greater glimpse of the Self-Existent, Self-Sufficient, All-Powerful, All-Sustaining, Ever-Present, Ever-Faithful God as we worship Him! This Sunday, we will also celebrate communion together as fellow partakers of God's grace! A Bible study guide is available, walking step-by-step, verse-by-verse, through Exodus 1-13.
