Exodus 1:1-2:10 describes the background for Moses’ parents’ faith.  What do the following expressions tell us about the work of faith: 1) “they saw he was no ordinary child”; and 2) “they were not afraid of the king’s edict”?  What practical applications can we think of for our modern society? 

2. 

Put yourself in the shoes of Moses, the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter.  What difficulties might Moses have faced when he refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter?  Yet, by faith he refused to be known as such.  What does this tell us about the work of faith?  What wisdom is there for a Christian to learn? 

3.

Verse 25 uses the word “chose.”  How many choices did Moses have?  How are the choices characterized?  The context suggests that it was “by faith” that Moses was able to make the right choice.  What does Moses’ example teach us about the work of faith? 

4.

Moses lived many centuries before Christ, and yet verse 26 indicates that Moses lived for the sake of Christ in his own generation.  What does this teach us about the overriding theme of the Scriptures?  The context also allows us to put “by faith” in front of the passage in verse 26.  What do the words “of greater value,” “treasures,” and “reward” reveal about the work of faith?

5.

Verse 27 says that Moses persevered because he saw Him who is not visible.  What does “saw” tell us about the work of faith?  How long did Moses persevere? (Acts 7:23; Numbers 32:13; Deuteronomy 34:7)  The Scripture says that perseverance builds character.  What character traits did God construct in Moses during this period? (Numbers 12:3)  What does Moses’ example teach us about how to see difficulties in our life?

Exodus 12 is a backdrop for verse 28.  What does Moses’ faith teach us about assurance of salvation for those who have faith in Jesus Christ? (Romans 5:9)
