“When  a  Foreigner  Joins  God’s  People” (Exodus  18) 1. Jethro  follows  the  God  of  Israel   (vv.  1-­‐12). 2.      Jethro  serves  the  community  of       God’s  people  (vv.  13-­‐27).

“When  a  Foreigner  Joins  God’s  People” (Exodus  18) 1. Jethro  follows  the  God  of  Israel   (vv.  1-­‐12). He  hears  the  good  news,   has  faith  in  God,  confesses   his  faith,  and  sacrifices  to   the  Lord  as  God.

“When  a  Foreigner  Joins  God’s  People” (Exodus  18) 2.      Jethro  serves  the  community  of       God’s  people  (vv.  13-­‐27). He  gives  Moses  advice  on   how  to  solve  a  problem.

Moses  was  a  prophet. Jethro  was  a  priest. Moses  acted  as  a  judge/king. Jesus  is  a  prophet. Jesus  is  a  priest. Jesus  is  a  king.

What  can  we  learn  from  the  story  of  Jethro? 1.  God  loves  all  people  – then  and  now. 2.  God’s  love  for  people  is  communicated     through  us  when  we  tell  them  how   God  saves  us.

Who  will  you  talk  to  this  week about  God’s  work  in  your  life?
