11-3-24 Setlist: Look At What The Lord Has Done On Time God Firm Foundation (He Won't) Don't Tread On Me Sermon Notes: Key Passage: That same day Pharaoh sent this order to the slave drivers (taskmasters KJV) and foremen he had set over the people of Israel: "Do not supply the people with any more straw for making bricks. Let them get it themselves! But don't reduce their production quotas by a single brick. They obviously don't have enough to do. If they did, they wouldn't be talking about going into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to their God. Load them down with more work. Make them sweat! That will teach them to listen to these liars!" So the slave drivers (task masters) and foremen informed the people: "Pharaoh has ordered us not to provide straw for you. Go and get it yourselves. Find it wherever you can. But you must produce just as many bricks as before!" So the people scattered throughout the land in search of straw. The slave drivers (task masters) were brutal. "Meet your daily quota of bricks, just as you did before!" they demanded. Then they whipped the Israelite foremen in charge of the work crews. "Why haven't you met your quotas either yesterday or today?" they demanded. So the Israelite foremen went to Pharaoh and pleaded with him. "Please don't treat us like this," they begged. "We are given no straw, but we are still told to make as many bricks as before. We are beaten for something that isn't our fault! It is the fault of your slave drivers for making such unreasonable demands." Exodus 5:6-16 (NLT) How do we get a taskmaster spirit? 1. Generational Curse 2. Trauma from failure 3.
