Leaving Egypt - by Edwin Shumba
January 26, 2025
Sermon recap:
Leaving Egypt was going to be about more than just the miracles. Forget your plans, God will fight for you. We need to be grateful, humble and still. We need to step out in faith and trust God, not relying on our own experience but to be open to new teaching.
You can watch the replay of the lesson (it starts at 59 mins) on our YouTube channel.
We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
The Hebrew word "yada" means "to know" from the heart or by experience. While the word "relationship" is not in the Bible, it permeates the scriptures. God knows our hearts and our thoughts. We get to know him by being broken, humble, completely open and by making it our goal to know him.
