Out Of Egypt: Lessons From The Wilderness: The Lord Our Banner

Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: May 23, 2020

God is once again calling His Church to remember. Remember who we were created to worship. Remember where we were when He came for us. When we again find ourselves pinned down by impossible circumstances and hear the echoes of accusation pursuing us, we must remember that it is He who is fighting for us, leading us and bringing us into a land flowing with milk and honey. In this hour, it’s time for us follow the fire by night and cloud of His presence by day.

In this sermon called The Lord Our Banner, Pastor Lee Cummings teaches on walking with the Lord and looking up to Him for the victory.

Focus Scripture

Exodus 17:8-16 (ESV)

“Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. 9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” 10 So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, 16 saying, “A hand upon the throne[a] of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Sermon Highlights

  • Our victory comes from the hill.

  • The hill represents the perspective, the power, and the person who sits enthroned in Heaven.

  • We are not fighting for victory, we are fighting from victory.

  • Our responsibility is to:

  • Tell the story (testimony to build others faith)

  • Give the glory (giving God the spoils of the victory: your worship)
