Moses: Praising God for His Salvation - March 9 2025

Series: Teach Us to Pray: Lessons from Old Testament Prayers Scripture: Exodus 15:1-18 Speaker: Pastor David HallettWhat do you say when you pray to God? Many of us tend to pray for the same things over and over: the same requests for our loved ones and the same pleas for the difficulties in our own lives. Similarly, when we focus our prayers on gratitude, we tend to praise and thank God for the same kinds of things. In our new sermon series, we want to focus on some of the prayers found in the Old Testament. Sometimes these prayers focus on praise, while other times they focus on requests, and still others pour out emotions of grief, bewilderment, but also trust. The prayers we’ll study from the Old Testament can teach us to pray in new ways, bringing freshness to our routines. In many cases, we can even use the exact words of a prayer in the Bible. Today we want to focus on the Song of Moses. All the Israelites praised God for granting them salvation from the Egyptian army and from Pharaoh. What can we learn about praising God in our prayers from this song?
