THE FAITH OF MOSES

Hebrews 11:23-28

Key Verses: 11:24,25

"By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the  son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time."

1. Read verse 23. What was the situation of Israel in Egypt? What was the decree under which Moses was born? (See Ex 1:8-22)

2. Read verses 23-24. What did Moses’ parents do? Why did they do it? How could they overcome fear? How did God work to save and educate their son?  (Ex 2:1-10; Ac 7:21-25)

3. What shows that they planted their faith in him? (24) What can we learn from Moses’ parents about how to view our children and how to raise them?

4. Read verses 24-26. Think again about Moses’ decision. What did he refuse?  What does this mean, practically? What did he choose? Why?

5. Read verse 26 again. What reward was Moses looking for? Why was it of greater value than the treasures of Egypt?

6. Read verse 27. How could Moses persevere in the desert and overcome all hardships of a new life? What does it mean to see him who is invisible?

7. At the time of the Exodus, how did Moses challenge Pharaoh? What was God's final and decisive act of judgment on Egypt? (Ex 12:12,13) What does it mean that Moses kept the Passover?  How did this act of faith save the people?
