  1. Moses: The Bridegroom of Blood Lessons About Leadership From Exodus 4:24-26

  2. A Puzzling Passage • What We Do Not Know… • Why Moses had not already circumcised his son • How God was going to kill Moses • Why Zipporah performed the circumcision • Which son was circumcised (Ex. 4:20; 18:1-5) • Why Zipporah spoke the way she did

  3. A Puzzling Passage • What We Do Know… • God had commanded circumcision of Abraham (Gen. 17:10-14) • God had called Moses to lead Israel out of bondage because of God’s covenant with Abraham (Ex. 3-4) • God had considered this matter serious (Ex. 4:24)

  4. A Puzzling Passage • Like Jacob (Gen. 32) and Balaam (Num. 22), God had a matter to settle before the man could proceed • If Moses was to carry out his divine commission with success, he must prove himself to be a faithful servant of the Lord in his own house (Heb. 3:2)

  5. Principles of Leadership • Get your life right first before helping others (Mt. 7:1-5); practice what you preach (Mt. 23:3) • One “small,” “little” thing lacking can hinder one’s service to God (Mk. 10:21; Jas. 2:10) • Leaders are not exempt from obedience; God is no respecter of persons (Ac. 10:34-35) • Consider how to be the most effective in leading others (Acts 16:3; Phil. 2:15) • True repentance involves urgency (2 Cor. 7:11)

  6. Principles of Leadership • Be right with God first before going ahead in life (Josh. 5:2-9; Jer. 9:26; Rom. 2:29; Phil. 3: 3; Col. 2:11-12) • Set the example of leadership in your own self and your own family first (1 Tim. 3:4-5,10; 4:12) • Take God and his covenant seriously (Ex. 6:5; Heb. 12:28-29) • Sins of omission will be held in account (Jas. 4:17)
