Struggle for Freedom

Exodus 5

Exodus 6

7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore:

let them go and gather straw for themselves.

The value of God's promise to keep His word.

A fool denies the power of God.

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:

there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?

who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5 There were they in great fear:

for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Things get worse for Israel Exodus 5.11-23

The genealogy of Moses and Aaron Exodus 6.10-30

Why is it important to remember

that walking in freedom

is a constant struggle?

God demands his people to be free.

How does it impact you

knowing God does not want you

to live in bondage to sin?

God allows His people

to go through trials.

What trial is God allowing

in your life right now

and how will it strengthen you?

God reminds His people of His faithfulness

How does going through trials

help you appreciate freedom?
