Sermon Tone Analysis

INTRODUCTION:

Review Exodus 3:11-12 “11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12 He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.””

Next question: Who are you?

If - not when.

He apparently is not convinced.

The God of your fathers - not our father.

What is his name?

- Who’s that? by what authority.

ILLUSTRATION?

SAYS WHO???

What shall I say to them - how would you answer that?

God, Lord.

I AM WHO I AM - The name of God, I am.

I don’t need anything else to describe me.

Why don’t we use that name?

We do, It essentially is Yahweh.

YAHWEH - covential name.

Elohim - meaning God.

Adoni - meaning Lord.

Jehovah - latinized version.

We don’t know how to actually say it.

Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you. - They were expected to know.

the LORD - caps mean Yahweh.

First official mention in Exodus.

They may have started to lose their connection with Him after being in Egypt.

The God of your fathers.

This is my name forever - Its still his name.

thus I am (not I AM) to be remembered throughout all generations.

- It is important that we know this.

If God is I AM, then He is everything you need.

Go and gather the elders - the command.

The Lord, the God your fathers - YHWH,

Patriarchs were important since they received the promise promise land.

I have observed you and what has been don to you - God cares about he injustice commited.

Just because he has not acted.

I promise - When God promises something he means it.

They will listen - the elders.

You and the elders - that is how Moses got in orginally.

has met with us -

Please let us go a three days journey - huh? that is all they orginally asked for.

3 days to sacrifice to sacrifice.

They likely have not been able to sacrifice and worship God for a very long time!

Pharoah was smarter than that.

You don’t let prisinors go out for three days and expect them to come back.

Imagine being told to do something and God says, by the way it isn’t going to work.

Don’t mistake the command to fight with the promise of an easy victory.

A part that we often forget.

God gave them favor.

You will not go empty.

Women were go to their Egyptians neighbors.

Women asking for stuff haha illustration.

plunder - who plunders?

Victors, not slaves!!

God turns slaves into conquerors.

CONCLUSION:

(Jn 8) Jesus I am and Angel of the Lord.
