Life of Moses #1
Moses spent 40 years in the palace, 40 years as a shepherd, then 40 years leading the Jews out of Egypt. God's voice is still calling those who have ears to hear (Exo 3:1-22). Moses is unparalleled as "the man of God" (Deu 33:31). One of two greatest in the Old Testament, and history (along with Paul); they reflect Jesus Christ -- He said in Mat 5:5 the "meek shall inherit the Earth"; Moses is the meekest (Num 12:3-8). Introduction to Moses (Heb 11:23): a great life begins with faith; faith is essential to have great achievements (Dan 11:32); the cradle of faith is the family; it's the nature of faith to risk everything; faith is exercised defying evil; the prize faith seeks is death (to old life - Rom 6:4); Moses parents were risk takers - the nature of faith (Phi 2:25-30); faith sees through God's eyes; Moses was refined and cultured; faith conquers fear (Heb 2:14-15); faith gives ordinary people extraordinary faith; faith motivates you to deny worldly pleasure (Heb 11:24-25). Moses faith impacted Israel (Heb 11:23-29).

From Series: "Life of Moses"
After 40 years in the Egyptian palace then 40 years in the desert then 40 years leading Israel to their land Moses' life can actually teach us about living in the time we live.
