SPECIAL DELIVERY

Welcome to our exciting series on Exodus, titled SPECIAL DELIVERY: God Will Rescue You. For 10 weeks, we’ll go through this amazing, misunderstood, and under-appreciated Book.

Just like in Genesis, Exodus is not a standalone story. It’s the second book after Genesis, so it continues right where we left off.  The last part of Genesis mentions Jacob and his sons.

How does Exodus begin? With the names of Jacob’s sons again.

By doing this, the author of Exodus is telling us, “Hey guys, the Genesis story—and its core message—continues here.”

So, when you read Exodus, read it using Genesis as your lens. In doing this–which is very important–you’ll hear what the original author is telling you, and thus hear what the Holy Spirit, who inspired that author, is telling you today.

Welcome back to our study of Exodus.

In Talk 1, we read how God rescued baby Moses from a watery death. In Talk 2, Moses struggled with an identity crisis. Today, in Talk 3, we’ll read how God revealed Himself to Moses in a very special way.

The key message of the talk is God Is Always with Me.

We continue our study of the book of Exodus.

Last week, we talked about how Pharaoh kept on saying “No” to God that he reached a point of no return—a terrifying possibility.

God, in His mercy, accelerated the bad consequences of his hardness of heart by sending plagues, in the hope that he would change. The tenth plague—the death of the firstborn—was Pharaoh tasting his own evil. And that’s when he lets the Israelites go.

Today, we enter the second movement of the Exodus scroll: Israel’s journey into the wilderness where God tests Israel multiple times.

Welcome to the fifth installment of our mind-blowing series on the book of Exodus, titled SPECIAL DELIVERY: God Will Rescue You.

The message of Talk 5 is: Revisit What God Has Done

Welcome back to our study of the book of Exodus. Last week, we learned that God is on the Journey of the Israelites– from slavery in Egypt to their struggle in the wilderness.

Today, as we continue to follow this journey, we will see that Moses did not just walk—he climbed up a mountain–Mt. Sinai where God as the Burning Bush meets with him.

And we will learn that later, the reverse happened. God—through our Lord Jesus—was the one who climbed up the mountain of Calvary—the expression of His Love so that we can be with Him forever. God’s Love, like the Burning Bush, is God’s fire. Just as the Burning Bush did not burn Moses, God’s fire does not burn us—it burns what is destroying us.

Talk 7 is titled Come Up the Mountain because that’s the challenge to us—to journey out of our comfort zone and climb up the burning mountain of God’s Love and allow Him to transform us.

Welcome to the second to last session in our Exodus series.

We’re in the part of the story where Moses went up to Mt. Sinai to talk to God, but he was away for too long, the Israelites got restless –which is really their fault because they didn’t want to join him.

During the entire 40 days that Moses was up on the mountain with Yahweh, the Israelites didn’t hear anything from him. Because of the news blackout, the Israelites began to feel uncertain, and thus, impatient.

Driven by their uncertainty, they assumed that Moses was dead. Or he escaped to Timbuktu and abandoned them.

To them, Moses was a goner. And so, Yahweh was gone too.

The Israelites tried to take control of their uncertainty by making a golden calf to be their god.

The key message: Led God be God.
