Three In One.

Hello Friends!

This past Sunday, Pastor Sam dealt with the topics of Black History Month, parenting concerns, and our denomination's Alabaster Offering project... all in one sermon.

We'll take the next few days to review some of the points from the sermon. For today, though, let's just reconsider a couple of the scripture verses Pastor Sam referred to during the sermon.

And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. -Exodus 1:22

And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. -Exodus 2:3

Pharaoh, who ordered his people to commit infanticide, had an agenda to destroy Israel by eliminating its male population. But Amram and Jochebed, the parents of Moses, had their own agenda. Because they chose to obey God and not kill their son, they paved the way for the deliverance of Israel.

So, in this twenty-first century filled with options on granting children life or death, will you obey Pharaoh or God?
