Title: God’s Song
Speaker: Nate Holdridge
Text: Exodus 15:1-21

Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.

Overview: They knew God had plans for them. In their minds, they were now his people, just as he'd promised. Their identity was wrapped up in him. He had purchased them on that Passover night. They would be planted and established by him and with him forever and ever (17-18). He loved them and was living out a covenant he had made with them. They were his.

What about you? Are you conscious of his covenant love for and with you? Do you recognize how much he has done to draw you back into himself? Do you feel that he is trying to bring you home?

Title: God’s Saves
Speaker: Nate Holdridge
Text: Exodus 13:17 - 14:31

Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.

Overview: We also need reminders of God's covenantal love. The more secure we are in it, the better we will be led into the future with him. We will trust that he is for us, not against us, with a future and hope in store for us. Just as the roots of a tree go down deep, providing a way for the tree to grow to great heights, so we must be rooted and grounded in God's love.

Title: God’s Passover
Speaker: Nate Holdridge
Text: Exodus 11:1 - 13:16

Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.

Overview: As believers, we must live from the true story of our identity—we are a delivered people! It came by the merciful blood of Jesus—nowhere else—and it was absolutely, totally, and completely required. Without it, we would be lost, dead, and enslaved. Let's think on that story until humility is produced in us—the blood of Jesus removes all boasting. Let's think of that story until love is produced in us—the cross is the most loving event in human history. Let's think of that story until joy is produced in us—we are passed over and completely safe in God because of the blood of his Son!

Title: God’s Power
Speaker: Nate Holdridge
Text: Exodus 7-10

Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.

Overview: Believers need this type of remembrance as well. We did not save ourselves. We did not earn the victory. We were not such good people that God favored us. That is not the story. Instead, "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). That is our story; we must not rewrite it.

Title: God’s Plan
Speaker: Nate Holdridge
Text: Exodus 6

Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.

Overview: Everything we've thought about today—that God gives us redemption, identity, and purpose—helps explain the transformation the Hebrews went through in the book of Exodus. God pulled them out of Egypt into himself to send them to the nations. He does the same for us—he redeems us, gives us an identity, and gives us a purpose. Let's join him in his work!

Title: God’s Son
Speaker: Nate Holdridge
Text: Exodus 4:18 - 5:23

Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.

Overview: And, just as we've seen in our passage today, God is willing to do that work. He sees his people as he sees his only begotten Son, so he is motivated to deliver us. Though the situations God's children find themselves in often worsen before the deliverance, God's ultimate deliverance is decided and guaranteed. Just as Pharaoh was a toy in his hand, so the powers of this world and world system are destined to a bitter end. God has plans for his kids, and he is playing the long game to produce those plans.
