Explore events foundational to our faith in this six-session study of
the book of Exodus. Israel is enslaved in Egypt, wondering whether God's
covenantal promises to Abraham will be fulfilled. Suffering under
oppression and violence, Israel cries out, and God hears, remembers, and
acts. Through miraculous signs and wonders, God warns Pharaoh to relent,
delivers Israel through the Red Sea, and brings the people into covenant
at Mount Sinai. What will be Israel's response?
The defining events of Exodus shape Israel's identity throughout the
biblical narrative, from Joshua to Jesus. With your Bible in one hand
and this study in the other, join us as we take an in-depth look at
Exodus, the character of God, and the call of Israel as God's chosen
people. Discover foundational truths with the lessons of Israel: The
Hebrew people were not just freed from slavery but also freed for a
purpose. As Israel carried God's presence into the world, they were
called to live differently so the world would know there is a God in
Israel.
The six sessions include
- God Hears: God cares about Israel's oppression and the oppressed
in our world.
- God Acts: God acts and begins a rescue plan for Israel.
- God Rescues: Israel is delivered, and God's rescue plan begins
in full.
- God Reigns: Israel comes to the Red Sea and cries out in
despair, yet Miriam is prepared to sing of God's deliverance.
- God Covenants: God invites Israel to become his people,
betrothed to him alone.
- God Dwells: It is not just "freedom from" slavery but "freedom
for" a purpose.
