Week Four - Moses

Tomorrow we look at the familiar events surrounding the Exodus.  There is so much to look at when we read about the story of God's deliverance of His people.  We usual preach or teach these events as separate events, but the more I understand God's upper story, the more they make sense as one story.  Everything that happens in Exodus 1-17 (and beyond) has to do with God working for the redemption of ALL people, even though God is seeking to free Israel from the Egyptians.

This part of the God's story deals with:
  • God's calling of Moses to a specific task
  • The power struggle between Pharaoh and God (is was only a struggle for Pharaoh)
  • The painfully slow way the people of God would follow God whole-heartedly.
  • Bringing back God's people to the promised land.
Tomorrow (Sunday) we will talk about this during worship and see how huge God is!

See You in the morning!

An Apprentice of Jesus,
