Here for the Sermon on Moses in the Basket? Read more on bible verse about moses in the basket and sermon on moses in the wilderness. Moses, the prophet of God, was born in Egypt. He was a Hebrew child and his parents loved him very much. His mother knew that the Egyptians would not treat her son well, so she hid him in the basket and put it among reeds on the bank of the Nile River.
When Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe, she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servants to bring it to her. When they brought it to her, she opened it and saw a baby boy crying. She felt sorry for him and said: “This is one of the Hebrew children.” Pharaoh’s daughter then called for one of her female servants and told her: “Take this baby boy and nurse him for me.” The female servant took him in her arms and nursed him as if he were her own son.
Sermon on Moses In The Basket
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
- You might be in a situation where you are stuck and really don’t know what to do.
- You could be living under the rule of Pharaoh and don’t see any way out.
- If you find yourself in this situation then trust me, you will always have someone who is watching over you, who wants to bring you out of that situation.
- God was with Moses and he will also be with you, if you put your trust in him.
God’s Plan for Moses
This morning I want us to consider the plan of God for Moses. The same God who had a plan for Moses has a plan for you. His plan may not always be easy to see, and it certainly won’t always be easy to follow, but it is always the best plan. So let’s open our Bibles this morning to the book of Exodus chapter 2, verse 1…
Bible Verse About Moses In The Basket
The book of Exodus tells a story that is special to every member of the Jewish faith. It is the story of how Moses was raised as an Egyptian prince and then, after his people were enslaved by their own government, he led them out of bondage and back to freedom.
This story has been retold in countless ways over the centuries, but there’s one thing it can’t be: boring. How could anyone make this tale boring? It’s got drama! Action! Intrigue! Drama! Historic significance! Drama!
It’s got everything you need to keep your audience riveted. And yet, somehow… it still manages to fall flat.
So what’s missing? Well, it’s not just one thing—it’s everything. The telling of this story has become so predictable that we’ve lost touch with what makes it unique and meaningful. We’ve forgotten that Moses wasn’t just a hero for the Jewish people who came before us; he was a hero for all people who have ever been oppressed by those in power. He was not just a liberator for his own people; he was also a liberator for all peoples who have ever been held captive by those who supposed themselves superior to others—whether because of race or religion or gender or social

Type of Christ
So, we have here a type of Christ. Moses represents God’s chosen leader who was called by God to lead His people out of Egypt. In other words, Christ was called to lead His people from their state of sin and slavery. The burning bush represents judgment—the judgment that is coming upon the world. This is the beginning of Christ’s ministry as a prophet; He came to warn the Jews about how they needed to repent before God brought final judgment on them in 70 A.D. Moses begins his ministry by being a mediator between Pharaoh and God—and between the children of Israel and God.
As Christians, we are called to be mediators between those who don’t know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and Jesus Himself—and we must do it in love and truth so that His Word will be preached effectively! Moses was also called to be an intercessor for the people of Israel (Exodus 32:11-14). He prayed on behalf of a nation that had not yet repented but would later become righteous through faith in Jesus Christ as Messiah!

Have faith that God has a plan for you
Let’s look at the story of Moses. His mother put him in a basket and set him adrift on the Nile River. She knew that if Pharaoh found out about her son, he would kill him. She trusted God to take care of Moses, even though she could not protect him herself.
Remember, God has a plan for each of us! We don’t know the plan He has in store for us until we get there, but have faith that it was meant to be just like this. You will never face any challenges that God does not know you can overcome; He loves you and wants what is best for you! When times are hard, remember Moses: he was able to rely on his faith and trust in God when everything else felt hopeless.
Sermon on Moses In The Wilderness
The story of Moses in the basket is an archetypal story.
It represents the journey from life to death, and then back again.
The baby Moses is placed in a basket, which floats down the Nile River. He is found by Pharaoh’s daughter, who brings him into her home and raises him as her own son. But then she discovers that he is a Hebrew boy, and so she sends him back down the river to die at his own people’s hands.
But Moses doesn’t die! Instead, he grows up to become the leader of his people—and God uses him to free them from slavery in Egypt.
This story is important because it shows how we are all just like Moses in our own lives: We are born into this world as babies, and then we grow up and leave our homes behind. Sometimes we find ourselves on rivers of our own making; sometimes we’re pushed into them without warning or choice; sometimes we float along peacefully for years before reaching any kind of destination… but no matter what happens to us along the way, we always have hope that something better lies ahead—because if not for hope, what would be left?
