"Unlikely Heros"

Pastor Akin began by celebrating testimonies from church members and Mother's Day before diving into Exodus 1. He established that the Bible is about God seeking to rescue real people from real brokenness using ordinary individuals. The sermon focused on the Israelites' oppression in Egypt under a new Pharaoh who enslaved them and ordered the killing of Hebrew male babies. Pastor Akin highlighted how God uses unlikely heroes throughout Scripture, emphasizing that it doesn't take fame, fortune, or special abilities to be used by God. He outlined Exodus's three movements: rescue, covenant, and worship, showing how they point to Christ's work. The main message was that God deliberately chooses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things in His rescue mission.

In this message:

God uses unlikely heroes to accomplish his rescue missionGod uses the foolish things of this world to shame the wise and the weak to shame the strongNo matter your past, mistakes, failures, shortcomings or weaknesses, God can use youGod's mission is to seek and to save all who are lostGod rescues us so that we might rescue others
