Advent: Waiting Together with Moses

SERMON NOTES for 12.05.2021 

Advent #2 | Waiting Together: With Moses 

Main Point: As we wait for Christ to come again and make all things right, we can find  encouragement and hope from Moses’s time of waiting.  

Three examples of what Moses did while waiting: 

1. Moses INSTRUCTED the people. (Numbers 15:1-4) 
2. Moses INTERCEDED for the people. (Numbers 16:42-48)
3. Moses followed God IMPERFECTLY. (Numbers 20:12) 

Encouragement from Moses’s time of waiting: 

1. God is present with us while we wait. 
2. In the waiting, we are to continue to follow God and be a blessing in the world.
3. We, like Moses, need an intercessor. We need Jesus.  

Reflection Questions: 

Moses waited and labored to bring Israel into the promised land, but he never received that prize.

1) What does this reveal about value of having a place on this earth? 

2) What does a longing for the “promised land” reveal about one’s heart?

3) How might our longings on this earth point us to Jesus and what we are truly waiting for?
