Let's pray together, shall we? Heavenly Father.
We thank you that we are not alone.
and that's not just a present reality, it's an ever-present reality that you will never leave us.
Nor forsake us, we claim that promise because in Christ, we are yours.
And you could no sooner abandon your son.
Then the universe break into.
God, we thank you.
That's we are united to you, trinitarian God through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, his death.
But also, his burial and Resurrection.
We thank you.
That's because of that.
We are not alone.
God, we thank you that you are at work in our lives and it work in the world to bring glory to yourself and fame to your name.
And that you have is here for our good.
As well as For Your Glory.
We pray that you will go before us Reveal Your word to us.
That you will encourage us through the reading the speaking, the preaching of your word.
And that is we come together as a community today, we will leave blessed and more like your son, Jesus Christ.
And it's in his name, we pray.
Amen.
Gravity chest lovers in the room.
We've got a few chest lovers, fantastic.
If you're under 15, I would love to play you.
I like chess.
It's been a couple years since since I played Jesse it's it's been a minute, but one of the most popular openings in chess is of course the King's Pawn opening.
Are you familiar with the King's Pawn opening?
Do you know what chest is?
It's like Checkers, but with taller characters, some of them have like crowns.
And that one thing that looks like a crown.
That's a Bishop's hat.
A bishop is something they do never mind.
King to pawn for That's a bishops.
Are there?
The King's Pawn opening?
You take your I said Bishop you take your Pawn to King four in you if you just move.
It forward, two spaces.
Normally this is of course, countered with with the same thing.
On the other side, you have two pawns.
Going head-to-head fighting for control of the middle of the board.
I want you to imagine for a minute.
Those of you who know, Checkers or chess, or any kind of turn-based game, I want you to imagine how easily it would be to defeat your opponent.
If you could go multiple moves without your punter, responding.
Some of you right now or like three moves, and I win.
Some of your like three moves and I win any way they can respond if they want.
What in Exodus one?
We looked at last week.
God appears to be silent.
And it seems to be as chapter 1 end that Pharaoh will continue to have his way.
He will keep moving his characters on the board.
To eliminate the opposition.
He will get God's people.
Inter Checkmate because God doesn't even appear to be responding.
Possibly because he doesn't exist.
Or perhaps because he isn't strong enough.
Or probably because he refuses to get involved in human problems.
You can come up with a Litany of reasons in your own mind that God may not have been responding up unto this point or maybe you even think that God isn't responding in your own life.
God isn't responding to my needs, God isn't responding to my prayers.
God isn't responding to my desires God isn't responding to the things in the world that demand his attention.
And I want to draw your attention to Exodus chapter 2. The sermon I want to call Pawn.
ticking for
God.
Responds.
Invite you to stand for the reading of God's word as we read, Exodus 2 1 through 10.
Now, I'm a man from the house of Levi went and took his his wife, a levite woman.
The woman conceived and bore a son.
And when she saw that he was a fine child, she hit him for three months.
When she could hide him no longer, she took him from a she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and dabbed it with the two of them and pitch and she put the child in it and place it among the Reeds by the riverbank.
And its sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
Now, the daughter of pharaoh came down to bathe at the river river, while her young.
Women walk beside the river.
She saw the basket among the Reeds and sent her servant women.
And she took it When she opened it.
She saw the child and behold the baby was crying.
She took pity on him and said this is one of the Hebrews children.
Then his sister said the pharaoh's daughter nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you.
In Pharaoh's daughter said to her go.
So the girl wears and called the child's mother, and Pharaoh's daughter said to her, take this child away, and nurse him for me.
And I will give you wages.
So the woman took the child and nursed him first.
And then when the child Grew Older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son.
She named him Moses because she said, I drew him out of the water.
This is God's word.
I'd like you to take your seats.
It seems as though God is not responding.
Even now, if you're used to a great epic story, we might be justified in thinking that God is not having a very good response.
The superhero response would be to come in personally and take matters into your own hands to decimate the enemy and to leave.
No question as to who is in charge.
But how Simple with that.
Be
for for somebody to win a battle, all you have to be is 1% stronger than the opposition.
For 1% better.
Put for God to work in such a way.
Working in every single human event being Sovereign over them all, even to the point of causing a river current to take a basket with a baby in it to a King's Daughter.
That power that is divine sovereignty at work in the world.
We might be excused.
We're thinking that God isn't getting involved because he doesn't exist or he doesn't care or he isn't strong enough, or he just doesn't want to get involved with that human stuff, but get involved with humans, he does.
He did.
And he is.
It happened in the past and it's happening in the present where God is in the midst of human messed.
But how does he do it?
