Setting the Scene in Exodus

• Key Events in Exodus 1-2:
  1. An Enemy (Exodus 1:8) – A new Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph.
  2. An Evil (Exodus 1:22) – The order to kill Hebrew male babies.
  3. The Experiment (Exodus 2:5-10) – Pharaoh’s daughter finds Moses.
• They thought they were in control, but God had a plan!

Main Discussion: The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

Read: Exodus 2:24

• God heard their groaning and remembered His covenant.
• This same God still speaks to us today!

1. The God of Abraham – A God of Promise (Genesis 12)

• Promised a Land – The land of Canaan.
• Promised a Lad – A son despite Abraham’s old age.
• Promised Life – That through him, all nations would be blessed.
• Key Verse: Genesis 22:17-19 – “In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.”

2. The God of Isaac – A God Who Provides (Genesis 22:1-14)

• Provision of a Son – Isaac was the child of promise.
• Provision of a Sacrifice – The ram caught in the thicket.
• Provision of Service – Isaac lived to continue God’s covenant plan.
• Lesson: God provides exactly what we need when we trust Him.

3. The God of Jacob – A God of Possession (Genesis 32:22-32)

• God didn’t just want Jacob to know about Him—He wanted Jacob to belong to Him.
• Jacob wrestled with God until he was changed.
• Lesson: We don’t just need knowledge of God, we need to fully surrender to Him.

Conclusion:

• God is the same today as He was for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• The question is not whether He is faithful—the question is whether we will trust Him.
• Final Challenge:
  • Do you believe in God’s promises like Abraham?
  • Do you trust in God’s provision like Isaac?
  • Will you surrender to God’s possession like Jacob?
