It began when he was 75. God’s first call to Abram came with a look into the future. "I will make you a great nation." (12:2-3). So Abram packed up and left, just as God told him to do. He arrived in Shechem, and once again God told him it was coming: "To your descendants I will give ...read more

The Plagues Of Egypt Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on May 31, 2013

So Moses comes back to Egypt with his brother Aaron after the experience with the burning bush. Apparently his wife and kids stay in Midian, and we begin to see what was probably the most difficult and frustrating ministry position ever.

The people are happy to see Moses and at the end of chapter 4 we see that they are convinced that the Lord sent Moses and they worshipped together. Well, there's usually lots of enthusiasm when a new pastor comes and does lots of great things. Hope starts to build in the people and they get excited ...read more
