TRANSCRIPT

“When Delays Happen”L A S T W E E K :

“What’s the Best Way to Deal with Discouragement?”

Settle for little“Go and sacri!ce to your God here in the land” - Exodus 8:25

Settle for some“Only the men go” - Exodus 10:16

Settle for most“Go... but leave your "ocks and herds behind” - Exodus 10:24

DECIDEto go for all

God wants to lead you into

3 days after

“...the people grumbled against Moses” – 5:24

the Red Sea Crossing Celebration service

Right after“#e whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. If only we had died in Egypt. You have brought us here to starve.” –16:4

God provided water for them at Elim

“Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt”

- Numbers 14:4

Why would people ever decide to be entangled again with the yolk of bondage?

๏ Because WRONG can feel comfortable and familiar even if it damages us

๏ Because entrenched negativism can blind us

๏ Because NEW can be too scary even if it’s better for us

DECIDEto leave behind whatever

stops you from going to the place God has for you

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us $ee, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” - Galatians 5:1 (NKJV)

DECIDEto grow beyond any

discouragement by responding gratefully to your God who never

gives up on you

Thank you Lord for reminding me
