The Faith of Moses: Obedience Over Opportunity | Closer to Jesus S2 Ep30 (2025)
In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, we explore how faith-filled decision-making can lead to eternal reward. Drawing from Hebrews 11, we take a deep look at Moses’ courageous choice to align with God's people instead of choosing the comfort of Egyptian royalty. His story challenges us to ask: what are we choosing today?
We also examine the stories of Paul and Ananias—men who made bold, risky decisions out of obedience and faith. Like them, we’re called to look beyond temporary comfort and seek the eternal prize.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Hebrews 11:23–29 – Moses chose to suffer with God's people by faith.
Romans 8:18 – “The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared…”
2 Corinthians 4:17–18 – “Our light affliction… worketh for us a far more eternal weight of glory.”
Acts 9:13–20 – Paul’s conversion and Ananias’ obedience.
Hebrews 11:6 – “Without faith it is impossible to please God…”
Matthew 6:33 – “Seek ye first the kingdom of God…”
✨ In this episode, we reflect on:
-Why godly decisions often require sacrifice
-How to resist short-term pleasures for long-term reward
-Learning to trust God’s eternal perspective in seasons of uncertainty
-Finding confidence when your decision still looks costly
-How Jesus modeled surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane
Maybe you're standing at a crossroads today—wrestling with a big choice. Let Moses’ story remind you: the eternal reward is worth it. Your obedience matters, and God honors every decision made in faith.
