On Dry Land - 12/13/09pm

Exodus 14:14 -Israel camped before the sea
Exodus 14:5-9 -Pharaoh gathered chariots to pursue Israel
Exodus 14:10-12 -The people cry out against Moses
Exodus 14:13-14 -Moses tells the people the Lord will fight for them
Exodus 14:15-18 -God instructs Moses
Exodus 14:19-20 -The pillar of cloud moved between the Egyptians and Israel
Exodus 14:21-22 -God divides the waters of the Red Sea
Exodus 14:23-25 -The Lord causes trouble for the Egyptians
Exodus 14:26-28 -The waters move back, drowning Pharaoh’s army
Exodus 14:29-31 -Israel was saved, and believed the Lord and Moses

Murmuring and Complaining
We must be careful not to murmur, complain, and cry out against God as the people did when they saw the Egyptian army coming. Such shows a lack of faith and is displeasing to God.
Jude 12-19 -These are grumblers, complainers
I Corinthians 10:1-11 -Nor complain as some of them also complained

The Lord Provides
When it looked like there was no way for them to survive, God provided a way. It was not a way that they perhaps looked for or that seemed best to the people, but God provided what was necessary.
Matthew 6:25-34 -Do not worry
Acts 8:26-29, 35-39 -In desert, God provided water for baptism

Belief is Found and Lost
The believed enough to camp where God told them, but then lost that faith. They rebuilt their faith after being saved from the Egyptian army by God, but would lose their faith again. We must be sure not to have a faith as wavering and weak as theirs!
Numbers 13:26-33 -The spies say that they land is too strong to take
Numbers 14:1-4, 11-19 -The people heed the 10 spies, angering God
John 8:30-31, 33, 39, 41, 57-79 -Those who believed tried to stone Christ
