A couple of years ago, Moore College did their School of Theology on the book of Exodus. The book version is a cracker, with some wonderful and original work. This series arises from Richard Gibson’s ideas about preaching Exodus.
July 18 • Exodus 1-2
God Looked On
Even before Israel was a nation, they faced a crisis of faith: if God was watching, why was he waiting? Should a God who’s on the sidelines be sidelined?
July 25 • Exodus 3-4
Is It Not I?
Prophecy has in inauspicious birth—but there are other ominous signs of oncoming disaster. ‘For love is as strong as death…’
August 1 • Exodus 5-11
The Ruler of Egypt
‘…Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away…’ There can be only one ruler of Egypt, and he will rule through his minions. But what sacrifice will he demand?
August 8 • Exodus 12-13
Total Recall
God remembered his covenant with Abraham; his people were to remember this day. ‘In days to come, when your son asks you, “What does this mean?” say to him’ … what?
August 15 • Exodus 13-18
Road Trip
‘Come away, my lover…’ We follow Israel as they travel between a hard place and a rock, with God drawing them to the place where they will meet.
August 22 • Exodus 19-24
The Pre-Nup
‘Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover?’ It has happened: God has brought his people to himself. The question now is whose people they will be?
August 29 • Exodus 25-40
Home Beautiful
‘…If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned…’ The interior decorations in this place are simply divine!
September 5 • Exodus 32-34
The Green-Eyed Master
‘…Its jealousy unyielding as the grave…’ We know that God told Moses his name—but do we know what it means?
Yep, Father’s Day for the last one. And we’re reading 1 Peter with Exodus, reaching chapter 3 just in time…
