As Moses gets the final instructions about the last of the plagues, this one hits the people of Egypt in a powerful way. It is the killing of the firstborn. As Egypt kept the children of Israel (God's firstborn) as slaves, aways from the life of worshiping God, so would God kill the firstborn of Egypt. The same holds true today. As God's people, the church are inundated with forei

In this episode we will examine the family government and what that means to the original purpose of man in the Garden and man's repurpose with the Great Commission.

Moses and Aaron continued to ask Pharaoh to let God's people go. However, Pharaoh's belief system wouldn't allow it, Pharaoh himself claimed ownership over the Hebrew slaves. This became a battle over sovereignty. Who is sovereign, Pharaoh or God? The State claims sovereignty over every area of life, but God is a jealous God and will not tolerate anyone or any institution that clai

As we continue to study the plagues of Egypt, we get an increasing understanding of how God deals with a State that is in control of all aspects of life.

The structure of the family and the support of the church,

When Moses had to confront Pharaoh, Pharaoh's belief system and social structure would not allow him to grant Moses' request to leave for three days and worship God. In our society today, we see the same thing happen. Christianity is not one faith among many, it is the only faith. A pluralistic society cannot tolerate a faith that has one way to the Father, and that is through the

In this episode we examine how Moses and Aaron represented God to the Egyptians. They did not take on Pharaoh, or the gods of Egypt; rather Moses and Aaron obeyed God's command and did exactly what they were supposed to do and God then performed the miracles. We are God's representatives here on earth, our task is to obey in every area of life, then we rely on God to perform the mi

Moses and Aaron were appointed by God to preach the Gospel to Pharaoh as as well as the children of Israel. Everything seemed to be against them, they were rejected by Pharaoh himself, by the children of Israel and they were old, eighty and eighty-three respectively. There was nothing in the natural that would have indicated that they would have succeeded in their task. However, it

This is the first sermon in the series of the Christ Centered Family. When dealing wiht child-training, it isn't enough to teach tips on how to raise a child; rather, child-training requires an entire life-style change.
