EXODUS [pt.1]: BRICKS, FROGS AND SEA WALLS

Beginning January 8, 2012

It is significant that God does not present us salvation in the form of an abstract truth, or a precise definition or a catchy slogan, but as a story. Exodus draws us into a story with a plot and characters, which is to say, with design and personal relationships. Story is an invitation to participate, first through our imagination and then, if we will, by faith––with our total lives in response to God. This Exodus story continues to be a major means that God uses to draw men and women in trouble out of the mess of history into the kingdom of salvation.
––
Eugene Peterson

We're about to dive into another year-long experiment in a single book of the Bible. As Peterson notes elsewhere, Exodus is a powerful, dramatic and true story of God working salvation. It is a book that continues to grip the imaginations of people who realize they are in trouble and in need of God. For Part One (Jan through April), join us as we immerse ourselves in the story –– from the bricks of slavery and oppression, to God's judgment upon empire, to God's mighty deliverance of the people called by his name.
