EXODUS: Lessons in the Desert, Week 3

Today, Brandon Ting concludes our section study in EXODUS series with Lessons in the Desert, as he focuses on Exodus chapter 18. In Exodus chapter 18, Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, visits him in the wilderness and advises him to delegate his responsibilities as leader and judge of the Israelites. Moses follows Jethro's counsel and appoints capable leaders to handle smaller disputes, while he focuses on more significant matters. These leaders assist Moses in settling disputes and teaching God's laws. Jethro recognizes the greatness of the God of Israel, offers sacrifices, and blesses the Lord for delivering the Israelites from Egypt. The chapter emphasizes the importance of wise delegation, establishing a leadership structure, and acknowledging God's sovereignty. ABOUT THE SERIES The book of Exodus is foundational to the story of God's relationship with humanity. The pivotal events recorded in the second book of the Bible demonstrate God's great love for His people by rescuing them from slavery in Egypt, forming them into a nation and establishing a covenant with them. In the first 7 chapters we’ll see how God chose Moses – an abandoned child in a dangerous time who later commits murder as an adult – and redeemed his life to make him into Israel's great prophet, emancipator and leader. We meet at 4:00 pm in person every Sunday afternoon at 7755 Tenth Line North, Mississauga. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
