2. The God who is Unexpected
Exodus 1:15-2:10

3. God Uses Unexpected People
Pharaoh clearly is afraid of the males
The females are the ones that outwit him
God uses a cursed tribe
You are never too useless for God

4. God Uses Unexpected Ways
Pharaoh orders all males to be thrown into the river
So Moses was thrown into the river
Pharaoh’s pays for Moses’s training
We need to allow God to be God

5. God Uses Unexpected Patterns
Jesus’ birth follows a similar pattern

6. 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.” 16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.

7. God Uses Unexpected Patterns
Jesus’ birth follows a similar pattern
In Hebrew basket = ark
Means of destruction used for salvation
We need to be found in the ark of Jesus

8. Living With The Unexpected God
Be the humble people He wants to use
Be willing to hand over control to God
Put trust in our ark – Jesus
Look for God in the unexpected!
