This is the first of a series of five sermons on the life of Moses. The birth of this Levite child commences a new chapter in God's history for Israel and the world.

Who is Moses? An Israelite or an Egyptian? A slave or a prince? In Exodus 3–4 we see Moses struggling to come to terms with his place in the purposes of God. But in the end, Moses' identity is not the most important thing. The passage invites us into a staggering and profound revelation of who God is.

Our God is a consuming fire. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? In Exodus 19–20 Moses and the people have the formidable experience of both the nearness of God and his unapproachable holiness. What can this reveal about God and our life with him today?

Why are Moses and Aaron judged so harshly in Numbers 20? These events occur in a holy place, where both God's grace and justice are on display.

Thinking about human frailty and death can make us wise. What can the death of Moses teach us about regret, greatness, vision and the purposes of God?
