11/5/2023 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Scripture: Hebrews 11:24-27
Title: The Faith of Moses
Speaker: Steve Estes

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. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he preserved because he saw him who is invisible.

Notes:

1. The life Moses was adopted into
A. The food he was served
B. The surroundings he grew accustomed to
C. The first-rate education he received

2. When he was grown, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter
A. He chose one kind of life and forsook another
B. What life did Moses choose?
C. What life did Moses refuse?
D. The result of his choice

3. How was Moses able to do this?
A. He was enabled by faith
B. He considered the facts
C. Fact: Sin brings pleasure--heaven brings ecstasy
D. Fact: Sin's pleasures are brief--God's ecstasies are forever
