2. The Major
Decision of Faith!
• This physical world is what we grow up
knowing by experience. 1 Timothy 6:7;
Acts 17:26
• The heavenly world is what we learn about
and grow up in by faith and diligent study.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14
• Like Paul and Moses we need come to the
realization that “this world” has nothing for me
but God surely does have something waiting
for us. Phil. 3:1-11; Hebrews 11:23-ff
3. Lessons From The Past
• Moses’ parents displayed an example of
Faith in this truth that this world has nothing
for me! Hebrews 11:23; 2 Cor. 5:7
– Their faith led them to do other than “the world”
said to do. Exodus 2:3; 1:22
– They knew to obey God rather than men!
Genesis 18:19; Eccl. 12:13
– They knew it was wrong to kill the innocent.
Genesis 9:5-6; Proverbs 6:17
– Their faith along with Miriam’s was rewarded
and his mother was allowed to nurse Moses.
Exodus 2:8-10
4. Moses’ Faith Is Displayed!
• We know that faith comes by hearing the
word of God. Romans 10:17
• Notice what Moses did by faith…
– When he came of age HE REFUSED to be
called the son of Pharoah’s daughter. V.24
– He chose to suffer affliction with the people of
God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.
V.25

riches than the treasures in Egypt; FOR HE
LOOKED TO THE REWARD. V.26; 1 Jn. 2:25

deliver the Israelites. Acts 7:25

• His heavenly Father whom he never saw
yet but trusted in Him. Heb. 11:1

nothing for me!
6. Do You Walk By Faith!
