In the book of Exodus, we see misery is a magnet for God's mercies. God cares deeply for those who are hurting, those who are broken, and those who are enslaved. And God is the one who saves by delivering a people who bring nothing to the table, except some grumbling. In this episode, members of the teaching team dig into the book of Exodus to discuss some of the themes of Exodus and how they apply to modern-day struggles.
Big Takeaway: God's heart is drawn to those who were in need. It's not repelled by it. It's not disgusted by it, but rather God cares deeply for those who are broken, who are hurting, who are enslaved. And he moves, his mercy moves him to action.
Application Question: How would you explain what the book of Exodus is about to a child?
