Grace changes everything. Grace should make us humble; not proud and arrogant.

SUMMARY

God’s sovereignty over salvation does not nullify man’s responsibility.

Before people can believe, they have to know what to believe. Someone has to tell them. That’s why we’re a sending church.

Those who truly believe will loudly confess.

God doesn’t have to put us in paradise to fulfill His promises.

Until sin is bitter, Christ won't be sweet.

If you’re at peace with sin, you’re at war with God.

Moses slows his roll to help us take in the importance of what’s happening and be forever marked by its eternal significance.

God’s sovereignty doesn’t violate our will. They aren’t enemies. Everybody has the opportunity to respond but only the conviction of the Holy Spirit effectively opens our eyes to see. The fact that God doesn’t do that for everybody is a mystery, but it isn’t unfair. What’s unfair, really is that He does it for anybody.

God’s sovereignty doesn’t undercut our responsibility, it establishes it.

The plagues in Exodus were meant to humiliate Egyptian false gods and make it clear that to fear the Lord is to hear His word and obey; to not fear Him is to hear His word but ignore it.

The plagues in Exodus were meant to humiliate Egyptian false gods and make it clear that God is just and it’s just Him.

The plagues in Exodus were meant to humiliate Egyptian false gods and make it clear that God has no limits.

The plagues in Exodus were meant to humiliate Egyptian false gods and make it clear that God has no rivals.

There are two ways to know God. You’ll either know Him by experiencing His mercy in salvation or by experiencing his wrath in judgment.

Throughout the Bible, God’s people are responsible to act in obedience based upon faith, not bring objection based upon lack. We have never been held responsible for producing the fruit, we are responsible for pursuing faithfulness.

Obedience doesn’t always result in immediate success. Obedience means you’re going to be in a fight. And, when in a fight, you take some punches.

Fully knowing Him is what life is all about. No THING can satisfy the soul because you were made to stand in awe of Jesus. That’s what salvation is all about, not just heaven, but releasing us from the bondage of self so we can know Him and be in awe of Him and live transformed lives that make Him famous.

Salvation is not through works but has always been by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
