The historical context of the Exodus.

God judges Pharaoh and Egypt through a series of devastating plagues.

YHWH uses the plagues to execute judgment on Pharaoh and the Egyptian deities, demonstrating His power and sovereignty for all the world to see.

Moses and Aaron have their first confrontation with Pharaoh, which leads to discouragement among the people and a key promise from God.

Moses encounters God in the burning bush on Mt. Sinai and must choose whether to be obedient to God's call.

The circumstances surrounding the birth and early life of Moses give us a glimpse of how God works through His people to accomplish His purposes.

As we transition into Exodus, we will look at how God responded to His people's plight in Egypt.

God established His covenant with Abram - changing his name to Abraham and promising to make him the father of a great nation and bless the entire world through his descendants.

Genesis 1-12 • Wednesday, September 11, 2024

As we continue the study of the Exodus, we will examine God's call to Abram in Genesis 12 to leave his homeland and travel to Canaan, along with God's promise that this new land would ultimately belong to Abram's descendants. We will also examine some of the beliefs and practices of the pagan peoples that inhabited the area and see how the Exodus narrative helped the people differentiate the one true God from the pagan gods of the surrounding cultures.
