Moses | Trading Egypt for Eternity - Part 2 (Hebrews 11:27-29) Powerful sermon by Pastor JD Howell
What does it mean to truly walk by faith? In this powerful message from Hebrews 11:27-29, Pastor JD Howell continues the story of Moses and reveals that faith is more than believing in God. It is making life-changing decisions that value eternity over earthly success. Moses had everything the world could offer including power, wealth, influence, and security. Yet by faith, he willingly turned away from Egypt because he had fixed his eyes on the God who is greater than anything this world can provide.
This sermon reminds us that every believer faces the same choice. Egypt represents the false worship, false security, and false authority that constantly compete for our hearts. Whether it is success, money, comfort, relationships, or personal ambitions, anything that captures our affection more than God becomes an idol. Moses endured because he "saw him who is invisible," teaching us that a life of faith is sustained by keeping our eyes on Christ instead of the temporary things of this world.
"By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible." - Hebrews 11:27
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:2
No matter what challenges, disappointments, or uncertainties you face, God's call is the same: abandon the world's way of thinking and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Faith is not simply about what we leave behind. It is about the One we gain. Will you trust what you can see, or will you walk by faith and follow the God who never fails?
What "Egypt" are you still holding onto, and are you willing to fix your eyes on Jesus instead of the temporary things of this world?
