02 Exodus 1 - Days Of Darkness

Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Exodus 1:1-22. Exodus chapter 1 establishes the difficult reality faced by the nation of Israel. At the end of Genesis, Abraham's descendants were finally safe. In this passage, they become prosperous and expand rapidly. This, however, resulted in fear and hatred from the native Egyptians, who enacted a program of slavery and infanticide against the Hebrews. By God's grace, the Egyptian Midwives intervened and rescued the Hebrew children. This sets the scene for the arrival of Israel's greatest leader, the prophet Moses.
