Let us pray no. In all these things, we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved us Romans eight
thirty seven. Dear Lord Jesus, In you there is freedom,
freedom from fear, anxiety, sin, and shame. Because of what
(00:20):
you accomplished on the cross. We are not victims of circumstance,
but conquerors. Teach us every day how to walk in victory.
Empower us to press forward boldly, proclaiming your truth and
being a force for good in the world. We trust
that your truth will guide us and your spirit will
(00:42):
abide in us. Lord. We also ask that you free
us from anything holding us back, whether they be habits,
toxic relationships, or anxieties. Remove any barrier between us and
the victory you've won for us your precious name, We
pray Amen. Thank you for praying with me today. Stay
(01:07):
tuned now for another episode of Stories of the Messiah
with Rabbi Schneider. Freedom.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
The Hebrew slaves were finally free from the whips and
chains of Pharaoh. A cloud of dust followed the sons
and daughters of Israel as they fled Egypt towards the
promised land. Centuries of cruelty and oppression were finally behind them.
They sang liberation songs and dreamed of their new lives
apart from beatings and hunger. They approached the shores of
(01:44):
the Red Sea, ready to walk around the coast and
into their freedom. Yet their celebration was short lived. Deep
in the darkest corners of his palace, Pharaoh's heart became
as hard as granite. He seethed in anger against Me,
Jess and the children of Israel. Whatever done, Pharaoh said,
with grit teeth.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Will not them my slaves, leave ye them my chariots.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The tyrant king of Egypt readied hundreds of horsemen and
chariots to recapture his slaves and fight back against the
God of Israel.

We've been traversing the peaks and valleys of the Bible's
(02:41):
greatest stories, stories of tragedy, triumph, faith, and failure. Each
episode has showcased a different biblical hero whose life ultimately
points to the greatest hero of all, Jesus. We've learned
how Jesus is the great Adam, Cain, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac,
(03:04):
and Joseph. Now we're about to immerse ourselves in one
of the Bible's most iconic stories, where the enslaved people
of Israel have finally escaped the death grip of Pharaoh,
but they aren't safe yet. Pharaoh has returned to get
them back. This story has hundreds of images and parallels
(03:26):
to our lives and the mighty work God wants to
do in us and through us. Let's immerse ourselves now
in a cinematic retelling of Exodus chapter fourteen. After I'll
connect this story to the life of Jesus, and we'll
discover profound truths to reinforce our faith. Let's begin.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The sound of horses and chariots shook the earth. People
of Israel turned to see a tidal wave of soldiers
fast approaching. They screamed in fear and cried out to
the law. Then they turned their anger towards Moses, who
had led them to the shore. We don't have graves
in Egypt, so he decided to kill us here and
save them space. They shouted, if we tell you to
(04:11):
leave us alone, it would have been better to serve
the Egyptians than die here in the wilderness. The people
were clamoring, and Moses knew they were running out of time.
Fear and hopelessness whirled within them. Why would God lead
them into a certain doom? Moses looked out at the
vast red sea. The winds were picking up violently. Then
(04:34):
he looked back at Pharaoh's army. They were fierce and
primed for bloodshed. Moses stood before the people and shouted,
fear not, have faith, Stand firm and see the salvation
of the Lord. For the Egyptians, who you see today
you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for
(04:55):
you. You only need to be silent. Moses turned back to
the water and listened intently for the voice of God.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Speak, Lord, what are you going to do.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
With an even mightier force than the howling wind? God
spoke to Moses, saying, why.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Do you cry to me as if I have not
already planned your salvation? Tell the people to march forward
towards the water. Then lift your staff and stretch out
your hand. I will part the seas, and my people
will walk on dry land to safety.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
There was a pause as the wind shifted around Moses.
Then the Lord continued, declaring war as for the Egyptians,
they will.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Know that I and the Lord and will have glory
over Pharaoh.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Then the cloud swiss and a pillar of smoke descended
on to the ground near Pharaoh and his chariots, blocking
their view from the Israelites. Moses and the people stood
in awe as the smoke's smoldering heat kept Pharaoh's men
at bay. Then they turned to the sea. Moses stepped
forward and waded waste deep into the water. The wind
(06:05):
carried scents from the promised land, a land flowing with
milk and honey. God promised them liberation. Sir Moses stepped
forward in faith and raised his staff high. The strong
east wind bellowed against the water, and everyone stood in
awe as it bowed to the whim of God. The
seas parted, creating a path for Israel to run towards
(06:28):
the redemption.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The tears streamed.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Down Moses's face as he saw the course before him.
The wind and the waves obeyed their creator and made
way for his people. To be free. The children of
Israel walked through, with walls of water towering over them
on their right and their left. They walked until the
break of dawn, when the last of God's people went through,
(06:51):
the pillar of smoke keeping Pharaoh at bay disappeared. Pharaoh
wasted no time, with the Egyptian army following close behind.
Pharaoh flew down the hill towards the sea with rage
in his eyes. When Moses reached the other side of
the Red Sea, he heard the voice of the Lord again.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Stretch out your hand, Moses, and behold my bower.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Moses stretched out his hand, and the torrent of wind
and waves ceased Instantly. The pillars of water crashed down
with incredible force, consuming Pharaoh and his army. Israel watched
as their oppressors were locked away in a tomb of
water and stone. The wind had ceased raging, and the
(07:34):
water's surface was glassy and calm. The wind and waves
obeyed their master.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Could you imagine being in Moses's sandals. The raging sea
is at his front and the armies of Pharaoh are
at his back. The people are afraid, blaming him for
leading them to their death, and now He's left with
no other option but to listen to God and wait.
These are some of the best places to be stripped
(08:04):
of our choices, no way out, and utterly reliant on God.
Moses and the children of Israel had only one option,
cry out to the Lord, and man oh Man did
he answer. God displayed his power and parted the seas
so the people could go free. Now we can't miss
the profound imagery in this story. The Bible is filled
(08:29):
with images and motifs that reinforce essential themes. One of
those recurring images in the Bible is the stormy Seas.
Any time you read about a rough sea or storm
in the Bible, it usually represents darkness, chaos, and judgment.
For the Israelites, the sea was an image of the
(08:50):
chaos and darkness of Egypt. God, in a heroic fashion,
made way for the Israelites to walk through that darkness
and into freedom. For the Egyptians, however, the sea represented judgment.
Pharaoh drowned under the weight of God's authority, but the
people of Israel were safe. Although Exodus closely follows Moses's story,
(09:14):
we often see that Moses was less of a hero
and more of a conduit of God's heroic acts. God
is the one who protected Israel with a pillar of smoke.
God is the one who made the wind and waves
bend to his will. Moses was a spectator, or at
most a helper, of God's redemptive acts. God is the
(09:36):
real hero who brought Israel out of slavery. He alone
was the master of the wind and waves. This story
reminds us that we are all helpless to save ourselves
from the chaos and darkness of sin. Like the Israelites,
we desperately want freedom, but our sins pursue us like
(09:57):
Pharaoh's chariots. The entire of the Bible paints this picture.
God wants to bring light, order, and redemption out of chaos, darkness,
and sin. He alone contained the seas that would otherwise
consume us. Now we'll fast forward to the time of
Jesus on the Sea of Galilee. A storm rages around
(10:19):
him and his disciples, and the disciples wonder if they'll
perish under the storm's power. But there's someone greater than
the storm and the boat with them. The disciples are
about to behold the same power Moses beheld.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Let's go to the other side. Jesus said to his disciples.
The men looked out at the water. The winds above
were shifting, and the waters below began to stir. They
knew a storm when they saw one. Nevertheless, they did
as their master commanded. Andrew and Simon took their positions,
hoisting the sail and gripping the rudder firmly, while James
(10:57):
and John set the course, lifting the anchor with a
well practiced grace. However, it did not take long for
them to feel the water become hostile. John's eyes strayed
towards the horizon, where jagged mountain ranges loomed ominously. Exhausted
from a day of teaching, healing, and ministering, Jesus sought
refuge beneath the stern's underhang. Despite the brewing storm, Jesus
(11:21):
slept soundly. Simon exchanged anxious glances with Andrew as the
storm clouds transformed into a looming black dome above them.
In the blink of an eye, the tranquility was shattered
by a violent gust of the wind, causing the disciples
to scramble for cover. The winds from the east and west,
engaged in a fierce duel their roars echoing over the
(11:45):
raging waters. In a desperate attempt, Simon and Andrew maneuvered
against the storm's pull, battling to keep the course. Yet
the storm's fury was relentless. The rain descended like a
volley of arrows, and the winds shredded their sails. Peter
shouted over the storm's whales snail the water out. With
the sense of dread creeping in, Simon glanced at the
(12:08):
sleeping figure of Jesus. Fear and hopelessness world within him.
Why would God lead them into a certain doom?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
He yelled at Jesus.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Master. The wind chopped at his face as he yelled, Master,
don't you even care that we're perishing? Awakened by Simon's plea,
Jesus emerged from his slumber. He turned his gaze upward
towards the storm. Jesus promised them they would make it
to the other side, so he stepped forward and raised
his hand. The strong east wind bellowed against the boat,
(12:40):
yet Jesus remained resolute. His voice echoed through the chaos.
Be Still, The command resonated with a primal force, halting
the storm. Within moments, the once raging tempest fled, and
the sea was once again tranquil, mirroring the starlit sky above.
The wind had ceased raging, and the water's surface were
(13:02):
glassy and calm. The wind and waves obeyed their master.
Jesus stood amidst the awe stricken disciples, his countenance bathed
in a celestial glow, his voice soft.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yet firm, Where is your faith?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
At his question, Simon released his death grip on the rudder,
falling to his knees, his heart echoing with the undeniable truth. Jesus,
their teacher, held the reins of the very nature they
had once feared, The same voice that split the seas
for Israel had calmed the waters for them. The seas
bowed to his command, the wind listened to his decree,
(13:39):
and even the stars bore witness to his authority. For
he was more than just a man. He was the Creator,
the sovereign.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
The Lord.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
The same power that parted the seas and delivered the
Israelites from the grips of Pharaoh also calmed the storm
on that day. Jesus, captain of the wind and waves,
made the storm bow to his will. I love moments
like these in scripture moments when we see Christ's epic
and powerful nature on full display. Jesus showcased his authority
(14:21):
over the storm he seas and reminded us that he
also has power over darkness and chaos. What are the
storms you face in your life? What wind and waves
have rocked your boat and caused you to tremble? Brothers, sisters,
I'm here to tell you that Jesus is in the
(14:42):
boat with you. Just as God parted the red sea
and defeated Israel's oppressors, just as Jesus calmed the raging storm,
the Lord wants to give you deliverance and speak peace
into your life. Romans chapter eight reminds us that nothing
can separate us from the love of Christ. No oppression,
(15:04):
no anguish, persecution, no famine, no vulnerability or danger can
keep His love from you. We are more than conquerors
through Him, and the scriptures declare that neither death, life, angels, demons, powers, height, depth,
or any other created things will ever be able to
(15:25):
separate us from the love of God. It was Moses
who stood in front of the sea and watched it split,
But make no mistake, it was God who parted those sees.
Moses was a vessel of God's power, but he had
his own set of problems. He dealt with a checkered past,
(15:46):
familial drama, and a hot temper. On top of that,
he had to endure the constant complaints of the people
and bear the burden of leadership. He was just a man,
a great man, but a man nonetheless like you and me.
He was a human with sins, shortcomings, and fears. He
(16:08):
was not the one who could bend the wind to
his command. Jesus, however, could command the storm. He tamed
the chaotic waters and restored peace. He wants to do
that in your heart as well. Bring him your anxieties,
your fears, your doubts, and any jumbled mess you might
(16:29):
have found yourself in. Submitted all to Jesus, for he
is the master of our storms. In this way we
are confident that Jesus is the greater Moses. In our
next episode will be introduced to Moses's successor. Although Moses
(16:49):
led the people out of slavery, he could not lead
them into the promised land. Joshua, however, led God's people
to the land flowing with milk and honey. But there
were obstacles to overcome, walls to topple, and armies to defeat.
Join us next time to see how Jesus is the
greater Joshua
Let us pray no. In all these things, we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved us Romans eight
thirty seven. Dear Lord Jesus, In you there is freedom,
freedom from fear, anxiety, sin, and shame. Because of what
(00:20):

toxic relationships, or anxieties. Remove any barrier between us and
the victory you've won for us your precious name, We

He was a human with sins, shortcomings, and fears. He
(16:08):
was not the one who could bend the wind to
his command. Jesus, however, could command the storm. He tamed
the chaotic waters and restored peace. He wants to do
that in your heart as well. Bring him your anxieties,
your fears, your doubts, and any jumbled mess you might
(16:29):
have found yourself in. Submitted all to Jesus, for he
is the master of our storms. In this way we
are confident that Jesus is the greater Moses. In our
next episode will be introduced to Moses's successor. Although Moses
(16:49):
led the people out of slavery, he could not lead
them into the promised land. Joshua, however, led God's people
to the land flowing with milk and honey. But there
were obstacles to overcome, walls to topple, and armies to defeat.
Join us next time to see how Jesus is the
greater Joshua
