Introduction:
The final eruption of Mount St. Helen's in May of 1980 was not a sudden event.
For two months prior to the massive blast—the most deadly and destructive in American history—earthquakes and volcanic activity signaled a major event was underway.
Authorities had plenty of time to sound the alarm and warn those living nearby of the looming danger.
Yet despite the seriousness of the threat, some people chose to disregard the warnings.
Probably the best known of those who refused to evacuate was Harry Randall Truman.
The eighty-three year old man was the owner and caretaker at the Mount St. Helen's Lodge at Spirit Lake.
He had survived the sinking of his troop ship by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland during World War I, and he was not about to leave just because scientists thought there was danger.
Truman told reporters, “I don't have any idea whether it will blow.
But I don't believe it to the point that I'm going to pack up.”
On May 18, 1980, Truman and his lodge were buried beneath 150 feet of mud and debris from the volcanic eruption.
His body was never found.
I start with this story because the Bible sounds the alarm when it comes to sin.
As we look at chapter 11 of Exodus tonight, we are going to focus on the seriousness of sin, the consequences of sin, and the choice we have when we hear the warning sounds of the alarm.
Quick Recap:
-The Hebrew people have been in Egypt since Joseph.
-Moses was adopted into the royal family, but had a heart for his people.
-Moses met the Lord in the midst of the wilderness.
-Moses returned to Egypt to warn Pharaoh.
-9 plagues have hit the land of Egypt.
Get Ready...
We as Christians should be getting ready and wait eagerly for the return of the Lord as we get ready to leave our “Egypt.”
The Final Warning...
Today could be your final warning.
Pharaoh’s Rejection...
A Picture of the Gospel:
-Pharaoh’s sin(s) is a picture of the sins that live in all of humanity;
-The “Exodus” of our sinful nature is found through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
-Salvation comes only from the Lord God.
-Your response has consequences.
