Week 2: Don’t Get Bit

Week 2 · Exodus 4:2-4 · James 4:7 · Luke 18:1-8

Rebellion is powerful, but if you don’t control it, it will destroy you.

“When Moses threw down his rod, it became a serpent. God told him to pick it up by the tail. This was a picture that rebellion must be handled carefully or it will bite you.”

Rebels Series, Week 2

  1. #1

    Rebellion is like a serpent, powerful but dangerous

    Exodus 4:2-4

  2. #2

    Uncontrolled rebellion turns into destruction

    Exodus 32:1-6“They made a golden calf and turned to idolatry. Their rebellion destroyed them instead of freeing them.”

  3. #3

    True rebels know when to stop

    Luke 18:1-8“She was bold and persistent, but she wasn’t out of control.”

  4. #4

    You must resist the devil but stay under God’s authority

    James 4:7“You can’t rebel against the enemy while rebelling against God at the same time.”

  5. #5

    Rebellion without wisdom becomes pride

    Proverbs 16:18“That kind of rebellion is actually pride in disguise.”

Week 3 · Exodus 19:5-6 · Joshua 1:1-9 · 2 Corinthians 5:17

Rebellion is a tool for freedom, not a permanent identity. Real rebels eventually build something better.

Rebels Series, Week 3

Week 3: Rebel to Ruler

  1. #1

    Rebellion is a season, not a lifestyle

    Exodus 14:10-14 & 19:4-6“The season of rebellion against Egypt was over. Now it was time to become something new.”

  2. #2

    God doesn’t want you to stay a rebel forever

    Joshua 1:1-9“The season changed from rebel to leader.”

  3. #3

    Mature rebels build instead of just tear down

    Nehemiah 2:17-18“He didn’t just complain — he took action and built something lasting.”

  4. #4

    Your past rebellion can become your greatest ministry

    2 Corinthians 5:17 & Galatians 1:13-16“His former rebellion became fuel for his ministry.”

  5. #5

    The ultimate goal is to become a leader, not just a rebel

    1 Timothy 4:12“The greatest rebels in Scripture eventually became the greatest leaders (Moses, Joshua, Paul, etc.).”

“It is not enough to be against something. You must also be for something better.”

Quoted in Week 3, point 3
