This Sunday, we’ll continue our journey through Exodus by looking at the example of the Hebrew midwives as they disobeyed the command of Pharaoh in order to spare the lives of many children. We’ll consider how sometimes we must disobey earthly authorities because we refuse to disobey God, our greatest King. We hope to see you there!

Sermon Notes
A Time for Disobedience ~ Exodus 1:15-2:10
The sermon in one sentence: In a world that often pits man’s kingdoms against God’s, our allegiance is to God first.
- What the Bible teaches about authority
- We are to honor and obey various human authorities over us, including: paying taxes, obeying laws, respecting positions, praying for leaders
- We are to exalt God as the ultimate authority–Jesus is the King of kings
- What do we do when these kingdoms collide?
- We still obey the earthly authorities where obedience does not cause us to disobey God
- We seek to peaceably change our circumstances if we are able
- We refuse to obey the authorities when obeying them would cause us to disobey God
- We practice civil disobedience like the midwives
- We disobey when we’re told to act against our Christian morals, compromising our love for God
- We disobey when we’re told to act in a way that would unjustly harm others, compromising our love for others
