Main Thought

Moses is a central figure in the Bible. Most of us know him for leading God’s people out of slavery in Egypt toward freedom in the Promised Land. We might know him for the Ten Commandments. But there’s so much more to the story of Moses. His life is a display of faith: from the time he was born, to the time of his death. Just like our own journeys through life, Moses made excuses, experienced difficulties, and had extreme failures. But he fulfilled God’s purpose with greatness because of great faith! This great faith trusts God beyond our comfort zones, overcomes limitations and failures, and finishes strong.

Main Passages

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
- Exodus 3:11

23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. 29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
- Hebrews 11:23-29

10 And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11 none like him for all the signs and the wonders that the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, 12 and for all the mighty power and all the great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
- Deuteronomy 34:10-12
