How to escape your personal 'egypt' wherever that may be...

Escaping_your_egypt

We all face challenging times and sometimes we even have 'evil' bosses.  

When you feel trapped like a Chilean Miner or Dead-ended like the Israelites at the Red-Sea the Bible unpacks 3 Powerful Principles in the Hebrew Story of Escaping Egypt over in Exodus 5 to 15.  

It's a story complete with a show-down between God and Pharaoh (think, evil boss), a fist-fight between God and the little 'g' gods of Egypt that had captured the hearts & devotion of the Egyptians and maybe even many of the Israelites.  We're introduced to the celebration of 'Passover' where the blood of a lamb 'painted' on the doorposts of the Hebrew homes would protect their first born from death by the angel of death.  In the ultimate showdown between God & Pharaoh we see God bait the Egyptians to follow the Israelites into the middle of the red sea and then destroy the entire army when the waters are released back to their place. 

Check out the image in this blog post to learn the 3 principles from the story that will help you escape your Egypt.  
[I sure hope you'll make it to worship tomorrow at Phos Church where I'll be unpacking this whole story and helping you take action on these principles.]
