Sunday July 12, the sermon was preached by Pastor Brown of the Welcome Baptist Church. Pastor Brown's text was taken from Exodus 17: 8-12. The subject was "Holding Your Pastor's Hands Up".
Exodus 17 tells the story of Israel in Rephidim and how they prevailed over Amalek. Moses told Joshua to take men and go out and fight with Amalek. Instead of emphasizing Joshua's strategy for battle as the topic of the sermon, Rev. Brown focused on Moses and how he influenced the outcome of this conflict between Israel and Amalek.
Exodus 17: 11 and 12 provide an accounting of how Israel defeated Amalek. When Moses held up his hands Israel prevailed! When Moses let down his hands Amalek prevailed! The scriptures describe the circumstances and what Aaron and Hur did to keep Moses' hands up when they became heavy. While Moses sat on a stone, Aaron and Hur--one on each side --held Moses' hands up.
Sermon Points:
- Lives are shaped by unplanned circumstances and necessities
- The types of vessels God uses (God achieves extraordinary results using ordinary people)
- A Pastor should be supported and encouraged by his church members (like Aaron and Hur, who held up Moses' hands when he was tired)
