Summary

Is it possible in a throwaway culture, in a society of throwaway relationships, and in a society of throwaway identities to be a person who can endure and hyperstand? To hyperstand means you put your feet down and nothing can knock you off your feet. It’s like you’re in a river, but you can stand in the river. That’s what the book of Hebrews is about. And in the life of Moses, we see the secret of endurance, of someone who stands firm in the long run. Let’s look at 1) what Moses endured, and 2) how he did it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 13, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:23-30. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:51.3	It's in Hebrews chapter 11, as they all have been.
0:53.5	But let me read to you verses 23. And actually I'll go through even though
0:56.8	in your bulletin it's printed only to 27, I'll read another two verses beyond. It's the story of Moses.
1:02.5	Most of all what we're going to say has to do with the verses that are right there in printed in your
1:07.2	bulletin. Hebrews 11, 23 and following. By faith, Moses' parents hid him for three
1:14.2	months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of
1:19.0	the king's edict. By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's
1:24.5	daughter. He chose to be mistreatedreated along with the people of God,
1:29.2	rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of
1:35.3	Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
1:42.7	By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger. He perceived because he saw
