Faith Enabling Us to Do What Seems Impossible
Hebrews 11:29
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.


I. THE DIFFICULTIES WHICH OPPOSED MOSES' FAITH

1. The task itself to which he was called seemed impossible.

2. The committing so vast a multitude to the strange pathway was full of peril.

3. The unworthiness of the people seemed to forbid Divine help on their behalf.

II. THE GROUNDS OF MOSES' FAITH.

1. God's revealed purpose.

2. God's past dealings.

3. God's glory over His enemies.

III. THE TRIUMPH OF MOSES' FAITH.

1. Faith can do what is impossible without it.

2. This because it secures the aid of Omnipotence.

3. And this, by simply doing fearlessly what God bids.

(C. New.)
