Families make Change Happen

God Moses-ed Amram in order to Jochebed.

How is God going to use your family?

This was the conclusion of the message I gave this past Sunday as I had the privilege to talk about how God used the parents of Moses to deeply impact the world. God loves to use families to change the world.

I shared 4 decisions that families can make in order to build a better family and community. You can find out about those four decisions on our website. http://www.southtownbaptist.com/messages.html

So what does "God Moses-ed Amram in order to Jochebed" mean?
Last Sunday morning, I woke up with the definitions of Moses, Amram and Jochebed running through my mind. I always love to find out the definition of Biblical names and places. There are usually some cool ideas, truths and life change that those names reveal.

Moses means to rescue from water.
Amram means exalted people.
Jochebed means to Glorify Jehovah.

God Moses-ed Amram in order to Jochebed.
God Moses-ed (rescued) Amram (exalted people) in order to Jochebed (glorify Jehovah).
God rescued exalted people in order to glorify Jehovah.

God used Moses and his birth parents, Amram and Jochebed to rescue and lift up the Nation of Israel for the Glory of Jehovah.

God loves to use Christ-Centered families to change the world. How does God want to use your family to change the world?

Praying for God to do great things through Christ Centered families.
