God’s deliverer, by God’s command, will now initiate a series of miraculous signs & wonders in Egypt. God gives opportunity after opportunity to repent, but Pharaoh’s hardened heart refuses. Ultimately, God brings himself glory in letting all the earth know that He is the LORD and there is none like him.

As Moses approaches Pharaoh with instructions to let God’s people go, the confrontation begins. This king of Egypt was not familiar with this God, but he, along with all the world, will begin to fully know who the LORD is.

Moses, the man God has chosen as the deliverer of his people, has experienced extreme failure. As he starts over in the desert land of Midian, God quietly prepares him for forty years in this second season of life. Now in Exodus 3-4, God calls him to an enormous task that he cannot achieve by his own strength. But as we see throughout God’s story, this God who calls and sends his messengers is also the God who equips and empowers.

Exodus begins with God’s people in bondage in Egypt, but God moves to prepare a deliverer who will rescue them. But this will be no quick fix or easy way out. Often God’s work appears slow or non-existent, but God always does his work in his way, in his time, for his glory.

We celebrate Easter Sunday this year by opening the book of Exodus. Exodus is a story of deliverance, but we must see how it begins in darkness. It is a picture of our own condition and the rescue provided by the resurrection of Christ. His resurrection is our exodus!

In week ten of our series in Systematic Theology, we conclude by exploring the Holy Spirit. This third, distinct person of the Trinity has been active throughout time, including today.

In week eleven of our series on Systematic Theology, we look ahead to the end times. There are many different viewpoints about how things will transpire in the future, but there are certain things we know for sure from the Scriptures. And knowing these things should result in living in readiness for Christ’s return.

In week ten of our series in Systematic Theology, we explore the subject of angels & demons. What are they, what do they do, and how does their existence impact our lives today?

In week nine of our series on Systematic Theology, we unpack the doctrine of the church. In an age when many people don’t trust or feel a need for the church, what is it and why is it important? The answer to these questions have very real implications in our lives today.

In week eight of our series in Systematic Theology, we tackled the doctrines of heaven & hell. What are these destinations all about, and what do they reveal about the character of God?
