There used to be an expression “These things are sent to try us”. But people rarely use it these days – it seems that people don’t think about God testing us at all. But it is clear from the Bible that God does test us. What does it mean, and what does God want from us?

After God gave the Israelites victory over the Egyptians, they praised God with the Song of Moses. This song helps us to understand why we should praise God: we, too, can join in the song of Moses.

“Did you hear the one about the army that didn’t fight?” It sounds like a joke, but it is actually a good description of this passage. In the first battle the Israelites faced together, God was teaching them something very important about what it meant to be the people of God. We as the church need to learn the same lessons.

People often say that you can be a Christian without going to church. This passage helps explode that particular myth – being a Christian is not a solitary endeavour. You can no more be a Christian on your own than you can play a game of football on your own.

The Passover is one of the most significant moments of the Old Testament – and it teaches us about Christ. Today we are thinking about what it teaches us about faith, how we are to have faith in Christ as our saviour.

The Biblical scholar Alec Motyer observed that evil is like a boomerang: the evil that we do comes back to us. God often seems to work like that – we reap a fitting consequence for the evil we have done. In this passage we see what that meant for Pharoah, and how we need to humble ourselves before God or choose to BE humbled.

One of the biggest and most common questions in the Christian life is “Why?” Why did this happen to me or us; or why does someone not listen to God? The Bible often doesn’t answer the ‘why’ question specifically, but in this passage we have a rare glimpse into the reason why God acted as he did with Pharaoh.

Are there any consequences of ignoring God? If you look round at the world, you might think there aren’t – people seem to ignore God with impunity. However, we need to heed the warning of Exodus and guard against the attitude of disbelief and hard-heartedness.

Have you ever looked at the opposition Christians are facing in the world – or maybe even your own life – and thought “what chance do I have?” In this passage, we see how Moses and Aaron were facing impossible odds, and yet they trusted in God and obeyed him.
