The flight to Egypt

The flight to Egypt

*So far, in our study of the book of Matthew, we've learned that Jesus: 1. Comes from the line of David 2. The New Moses *Pastor Ben also, briefly explains the term "Out of Egypt" (Hosea 11:1) 1. The place where the ten plagues took place 2. A type of "the world" 3. God wants to bring His people out of Egypt *He also gives us 2 amazing characteristics of Joseph: 1. Joseph believed 2. Joseph obeyed You must listen to today's podcast teaching in order to get the full context of it. So here's a question: Was it circumstance that Jesus came "out of Egypt", or was it God breathed?

Through these verses we see two themes that work in our lives like two pedals on a bike. The left pedal and right pedal. For one pedal we have the Providence of God. The plans of God. The inevitability of God's events. but then on the other pedal, we have the urgency and danger that’s right there about to happen. We have the persistence of man, and in our case today, namely Joseph. His being obedient. His propensity and track record to be an example of trusting the angelic commands at their words, and obeying, even when obeying means very real, and often arduous tasks.

We trust God. We take care of those we love. We remember the world for which Christ died

There is much in life to dread Sometimes our fears overwhelm us Even though the odds are against us, we are not alone

The Coming of the King #5 - Matt. 2:13-23

In the second of his Advent messages, Pastor Tom continues discussing how things get shaken up when God arrives, reminding us that the good of God's future is worth the troubles of His present.

Illustrating from Matthew 2:13-23, Pastor Tom reminds us that God's arrival shakes things up, encouraging us to remember that, when crisis comes, God hasn't abandoned us, He's just arrived.

Today’s study attempts to harmonize God’s Sovereignty with the evil present in the world.

Sermons from Bellevue Presbyterian Church

Today’s study demonstrates that even in the most horrific events, God is in control. Nothing escapes His notice or His resolution.

So why does God allow suffering in the world? Why does he not stop the killing of helpless children? Of the pure and innocent? Of those who cannot or will not fight back – the weak and powerless? He created such a place, so that He could step into it, and become weak, powerless, innocent, and pure and hand himself over to wicked and cruel men, in order to save us.
