Ministry of the Word: Christ our Mediator brings the LORD’s blessing to his church at war

1. God’s people are: Called to battle

• When Moses raised his hand and staff, Israel would be winning the battle, but when his hand fell, so too did Israel.
• The Amalekites did not fear the Israelites.
• The Amalekites were cursed by God.

2. God’s people are: Under the Banner

• God does not promise victory in every battle.
• God does promise a path to salvation.
• During the battle Moses was too weak to stand. He has to be helped. Moses was clearly not the saviour.
