The Great Deliverance

You know that 1 of the sad things about ministry is you have to do funerals, but whatever funeral I'm at, I always look for the pictures.

I'm looking to see the person when they were young.

And invariably, they are always beautiful and always handsome.

And That's really what the whole Advent message and movement is about.

I'd like to invite you to bow your heads with me as we pray.

And he has promised to deliver his people.

Father in heaven, oh how we love to call you daddy.

And dear Lord, as Jesus called you Abba, Daddy, we know that you have the deepest and most tender love for each and every 1 of us.

Father, I thank you for everyone that is here this morning.

I thank you for friends, for family, for visitors, for guests, for all your people, for we are all your people.

But Lord, we want to ask your special blessing as we go through this morning time together, though it may be short, may it be sweet, and may it be blessed by the unction of your Holy Spirit.

And for these things we thank you and praise you in Jesus' precious name, amen, amen.

You know, I love the story of the exodus and I have been meticulously going through the story with the children at KJA.

In fact, I signed every single KJA student's copy of this little book called The Exodus.

Kids, how many of you have started reading your Exodus book?

1234I can see you all around at the back.

This is the most amazing story that ever was.

But you know, some people don't think that it is the best story that ever was.

You know that for the last 50 years, most of the world's important archeologists and those that know about history have said that there is no evidence to support the Exodus story found in the Bible.

Now this picture that you see on the slide there is Charlton Heston playing Moses, and this was the movie The 10 Commandments.

How many of you remember seeing The 10 Commandments?

I don't know how many times I've seen it.

Can you imagine, that was even before I was born.

But now people say that the evidence that we find in archeology and history doesn't support what the Bible says.

We find that scientists are coming along and saying we know better than what is written in the word of God.

And in fact, you can't take the word of God seriously because us scientists, we know more.

In fact, these people say that the archeological record is completely opposed to what is written in the Bible.

Now this view of skepticism has spread from these knowledgeable people to the general populace, or general people in the world.

And the case against the Exodus appears to be so strong that even some religious people, people that say they believe in the word of God and believe in the Bible, they are labeling the Exodus story as an ancient account of historical, and I quote, fiction, historical fiction.

So that, in fact, historical fiction is what I would call that movie that they made.

Today I want to share with you part 7 of this series.

Now as you can see, I'm working on this series, powerful series.

If you haven't heard the previous messages, I encourage you to get them.

Not because I've given them, but because they come from the word of God.

And this story, God in his word has inspired Paul to write in 1 Corinthians chapter 10, the importance of the story of the Exodus.

It has lessons for us, lessons that we should not repeat.

It has parallels that we need to understand.

But friends, let's just come back to that question again.

Is it about as Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator and of this movie, Exodus, God and Kings, is it all about men?

Is the Exodus story about men and their power and their desire to be seen and worshipped as God.

I mean, this movie has been labeled as the greatest movie of the biblical exodus.

It was even greater than the 10 Commandments.

You know, if you have the opportunity to watch an appraisal and an analysis of that movie, go to Amazing Discoveries and you'll see Little Light Ministries.

They are very good on analyzing the messages that the media is trying to give to the people.

And this movie, after listening to that analysis, portrays God as a wimp.

Miriam is kind of having strange relationships with people.

And it is just what I would actually call blasphemous.

You know, I'd encourage you, if you haven't seen this movie that I shared with the children at KGA, the real search for the Red Sea Crossing.

In fact, it's interesting because this Exodus movie came out last Christmas, kind of in 3D, December 26th, and there was also another movie that was actually not a movie, it was a documentary.

And that 1 I shared with you called Patterns of Evidence.

And this is an amazing work of research, 12 years in the researching this movie took.

And basically what it deals with is the evidence.

You know, as I said earlier, there are archeological experts that come along and say, there is simply no evidence of the Exodus.

And they have their PhDs, they are curators at museum, they are professors at universities, and at face value, we kind of see that they are making these statements that deny the story as it is written in the word of God, and so what do you do?

But then, on the other hand, there are archeologists, some of them, there was a famous 1 who is an Austrian, actually, and his name escapes me right now, but he's done fabulous research in excavating the Nile Delta.

Now to excavate in the Nile, you have to be able to hold back the waters, and so it's very difficult.

And only recently, in fact, in the only, in I would say the last 35 years, are archeologists uncovering true and fabulous and amazing finds that are corroborating the Exodus as it reads in the Bible, the Exodus story.

It was open, showing in public cinemas in January, a second showing, but what a wonderful alternative to that other movie.
