The Reliant Podcast
A Chance to Believe
At first, Moses permits his apprehensions to guide the decisions of others, fearful that they would not believe his divine encounter. To assuage these doubts, God performs three signs: his staff morphing into a serpent and back, his hand becoming leprous and then healing, and the transformation of water from the Nile into blood. These miracles symbolize God's power, the divine sin cleanse offered by Christ, and the necessity of Christ's blood. The sermon reveals Moses's enduring insecurities despite God's assurances and evidence of divine guidance. Fearing his own eloquence and linguistic skills, Moses hesitates to confront Pharaoh, prompting God to propose partnering him with his brother Aaron. Conceding to God's plan, Moses sets out for Egypt but experiences a near-death incident on the way due to divine intervention. His wife, Zipporah, saves him by performing a circumcision on their son, symbolizing the covenant with God. Once in Egypt, Moses and Aaron relayed God's messages and signs to the people who believed and worshipped God. The sermon encourages listeners to overcome personal apprehensions and unashamedly spread the Gospel. Believers should not fear but expect God's miracles to transform lives. It ends with a prayer for boldness and courage in spreading the gospel and an invitation for collective worship of God, acknowledging his observance of human suffering.
