Biblical History on The Book of Exodus Chapter 12, Christian Festival, Promises and an answered prayer for me. My reference is taken from King James Version of different Bibles that you may see reference at end of this article.

Passover: A feast of Jews in a call to remember/serve as a memorial of time when God, smiting 1st born of Egyptians, passed over dwelling/residence of Hebrews (Exodus 12).

Biblical History on The Book of Exodus:

The second Book of Law or Pentateuch. It may be divided into two prinicipal parts: (1) Historical and (2) Legislative.

A little history of Exodus commences with close of 10 Plagues. At midnight, first-born were slain. (Exodus 12:29). They at once set forth from Ramses (verse 37, 39) and during night (verse 42) going into morning, on 15th day of first month (Number 33:3).

They made three journeys and encamped by Red Sea. ( The prophecy of Isaiah has been fulfilled 11:15; 14:5).

This is where Pharaoh overtook them, and great miracle occurred by which they were saved, while purser and his army was destroyed.

Christ's Ministry - Preaches in Synagogus

Rev. Dr. Pastor Crosby, Pastor INDEFINITE SERMON TOPIC- "No Shortcut To The Promise Land. Exodus 13:17. Moses was born for a certain reason. We all are born for a certain reason.

First, let me share this: Mary and myself was talking on sunday morning before going to worship services and I was sharing with her about Messianic Jews which are Christians and Arab Christian Ministries. I shared with her that Book of Acts is a great book to read and I shared different scriptures in Acts with her.

On Sunday, September 1, 2002 I was attending worship services with Mary at Rose Hill Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis, Mo. and Pastor is Rev. Dr. Curtis Crosby.

On Order of Services program what really caught my eye was Pastor Crosby's INDEFINITE SERMON TOPIC- "No Shortcut To The Promise Land" Exodus 13:17

The Sermon text came from Acts 6:1-4.

The pastor told us to look at "brethen" in verse 3.

He did share that Wisdom is fear of Lord. The church must have strong leaders in order for church to grow. Leadership is not an option but a principle. In Old Testament we are introduced to strong leaders. Moses was born for a certain reason. We all are born for a certain reason. When Moses came down from mountain nobody had to ask him where he had been. He talked about Kings of Israel. He talked about Joshua being Moses successor who was anointed.

In his sermon he talked about "Joshua", "Levites" and "Ark of Covenant."

When time came for Acknowledgements of Visitors I did stand and I told church and Pastor I enjoyed sermon. I told church and Pastor that it was just amazing how he spoke from Acts for I had shared with Mary about studying from Acts before we came to church.

I also shared with Pastor/church that on fridays that I share with others from Acts 3:1-6 using key words: "Peter and John, went up, together, hour of prayer, ask, look on us."
