Do Not Miss The Entire Message Of The Gospel-  it is Jesus delivering us from an unbeatable enemy.

2 Corinthians 1  10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,

If we think the enemy that stands before us is formidable, think about Moses.  His adversary was none other than the Egyptian army.  And he was already a reject.  In a moment of anger, Moses killed an Egyptian soldier.  Moses then escaped from the King who wanted him dead, and fled to the land of Midian.  He was, by all accounts, a fugitive.

So what does God ask him to do?  He wants him to go back and confront the King.  Living in comfort and peace, Moses had to wonder:  “God, what are you thinking?”.  In a face to face encounter with God, he asks the very question that I would have asked:  Who Am I?

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

The Egyptians believed in multiple gods.

They built the pyramids and everything they had on the backs of the Hebrew people.

And they had a strong system of leadership with an army to back it up.

The rest is history.  God wins.  The slaves are freed.  And the Hebrew people move on from the land of Egypt.  They were, in fact, Delivered.

In 2022, we are in need of a different Deliverance.  And this one is probably a higher priority than what the Hebrew people faced.  The Hebrew people, while enslaved, knew who God was.  Do we?  I am not sure.  But if we are looking for solutions in society, we need look no further than the gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

IDENTITY  We are children born of God.  When we begin to question this, we will be lost.  We are NOT the center of the universe—Jesus is.  We are not amazing and able to do all things, we are sinners saved by grace who NEED JESUS.  And we don’t need Jesus AND … we need Jesus ONLY.

MARRIAGE  The building block of our society.  There is nothing more vital to a community than a man and a woman working together to build the city that they live in.  A couple unified in marriage and God-fearing in their everyday life will build a strong city.

FAMILY  Children are a blessing from the Lord, but they are NOT to be worshiped, or hated, or both.  They are to be corrected and guided and loved.  They are to show respect, and holiness, and honor.  And they are the greatest gift that God can give.

MONEY  Give.  Save.  Spend.  You can’t take it with you.

LAWS  Given by God and to be followed by a God-fearing government that understands that, as individuals, like us, they will someday be accountable before Him.  So whether they are just or unjust, judgment will await them, as it will all of us.

Our God is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

He has shown Himself as a Lamb but we have not seen Him in the form of a Lion.  I myself shudder at the idea that I would like very much to be ON HIS TEAM.  He was an incredible Lamb … and he will be an incredible Lion (Lord have mercy.  Seriously … Lord, have mercy and I do not want to understate this.  Lord, help me, help us, to fear You, and You, alone).

The Egyptians challenged this notion that God was in charge … and it did not end well.  Their army was destroyed, in a matter of minutes, in the Red Sea.

And so it is with us.

The great armies of the world pay heed.

The great rulers of the world pay heed.

The rich and powerful pay heed.

Every living thing pay heed.

God LOVES us, And those who are born again and live out the call on their life have a promise.

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

We have a perspective on the way that things should go.

We want things to be convenient.

We would like to “all get along”.

We want to be politically correct and not offend.

But the reality is that Jesus offended others.  

Especially those with great power who inflicted laws and rules on their people in order to “keep order”, and “have peace”, and “control the masses”.

Do not be Deceived.  

Be Delivered

And in your Deliverance, get along with others.  I for one will “get along” with anyone who allows me the freedom to preach the gospel in freedom and understands that I follow His rules, not man’s.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
