The first two names we get in Exodus aren’t that of the Pharaoh, or some great leader, but rather it is the midwives; the slave women tasked with aiding in the brith of Hebrew children. But, even more amazing is how the bible lifts these up for embodying the very nature of a woman as they serve God in a no hope situation.

In the opening sermon of our Exodus series we examine the fact that while Pharaoh may have forgotten who Joseph was, God did not. Rather what we see from the God of the Bible is that he sees us in our plight, hears us in our despair, and meets us in our troubles.
