Pyramids
-So this morning, If you haven’t already noticed, we’re going to do things a little bit differently
-I feel like that should be my catchphrase at this point
-but we’re going to do things a little different
-we’re gonna change up the order of service.
-This is a temporary thing that I wanted to do just today for this message
-So if you’re someone who doesn’t like change, don’t worry next week we’ll go right back to the way it was before
-But today I wanted to change thing up a little bit
-And I hope that as we go On you’ll start to understand that there’s a method to my madness
-I’m not just changing things for the sake of change
-This is something that I’m meaning to be benneficial to you.
-We’re in our Pyramids series on the book of exodus
-And last week God told us an amazing story about how he delivered the israelites through the red sea
-God’s people were surrounded on all sides
-there was no where to run
-they were terrified
-they even lashed out at moses and said
-how could you do this to us?
-Were there just not enough graves in egypt so you brought us out here to die in the desert?
-But despite all that, God brought a strong east wind
-and parted the water
-and the israelites walked through the red sea on dry ground.
-And the egyptians chased after them
-only to have God release the waves crashing down the waters on top of the Egyptians
-The very end of chapter 14 we get this picture in our mind
-A lot of times, when I’m trying to present scripture
-I’m asking myself, how can I make the Bible come alive for people
-how can I give you the knowledge you need, the insight you need
-the perspective maybe
-to help you really understand God’s word
-How can I make you feel like you were really there.
-And then you get to verses like this
-and God’s word really stands on its own here
-The Israelites went through the sea on dry ground
-with a wall of water on their right and left
-close your eyes for a minute and imagine that
-imagine how terrified you just felt
-because you were certain that you were about to die a horrible death
-imagine how dumbfounded you might be as you’re walking across the sand
-and the wind is blowing in your face
-what are you thinking to yourself
-Is this some kind of dream?
-am I already dead is this what the afterlife is like?
-Is this real?
-maybe you’re toward the front of the line
-and when you look in front of you and all you see is wind and storm
-but you look back and you see somewhere around 2 million people behind you.
Exodus 12:37 by the way
-That’s more than the entire state of Nebraska by the way
-And you get to the other side and maybe you’re still a little disoriented
-and you’re standing on the shoreline
-waiting for all the rest of the people to get across
-and the last person steps on to dry ground
-and all of a sudden the wind stops
-and there’s a very brief moment where it’s completely silent
-very brief
-before milions and milions of gallons of water crash down
-can you imagine how loud that would be?
-When would be the point for you when you realized that this was real?
-what would be the moment when you realized that this was real
-and the people who were trying to kill you just moments before are gone
-and you don’t have to worry about that ever again
[open your eyes]
-What would be the first thing you said?
-Well for the Israelites, the very first thing to come out of their mouths was a song
-they were so overjoyed, so grateful, that normal words just wouldn’t do it justice
-they sang to God
-And that’s what we get in Exodus 15.
We get, by the way the very first song in the Bible
-Here’s the amazing thing about music.
-We find example of songs all throughout the Bible
-a lot of us think about the book of Psalms when we think of songs in the bible
-Which is obviously a big example
-But we find singing and songs all throughout
-there’s songs in the books of Moses
-There’s songs in the book of Judges
-and 1 &2 samuel and kings
-we find them in the prophets
-we find them in the Gospel
-there’s even places in paul’s letters where we think that he might be quoting a song lyric
-And so I want to take a look at this song that the isrealites sang
-and my goal today is to get us to a place where we can sing to God with the same level of joy and excietment in our hearts as the people in the bible did
-with the same level of ferver and commitment
-so as we go through this scripture this is going to be one of the few times I tell you not to take notes
-if you’re a note taker, I want you, just for today to focus on the words of scripture
-focus on the song
-and try to experience.
-try to put yourself there
-try to imagine what it might have been like to sing this in the moment
-what did the melody sound like?
-what did it sound like to hear 2 million people singing these words to God
-I just want to read all of it, let you experience all of it
-and then we can go back and talk about it, and we can take notes
Exodus 15:1-21
-Isn’t that powerful?
-it honestly gives me goosebumps
-I want to look at that song
-I want to analyze it,
-I want to figure out what God is telling us in this passage
-And the first thing I noticed in that song
