DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE IDENTITY
“Who am I really?”
Message Outline
HEBREWS 11:23-27 (NIV)
“By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because
they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of
Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God
rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded
disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt,
because he was looking ahead to his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing
the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.”
