Sessions with Exodus

"This is a 13-session study of the book of Exodus. The first part, "The Characters," identifies some famous and overlooked characters that God uses. Part 2 discusses "The Contest" for the hearts and lives of the people. I view the plagues or "fingers of God" as a performance to command the attention of the people that God wants. These events prepare Moses and the people to move to the wilderness. Part 3 explores the challenges and gifts during "The Journey" through the wilderness. We look at the changes Moses undergoes as a leader and at God's gift of the Law to constitute the Israelites. We also look at the tests of dependence on God that are still relevant today. In part 4, we arrive at "The Destination"-a place in the wilderness where we are ready to encounter God's presence. We study how disobedience is part of the process we undergo as we design, follow, and construct a place for God to be with us"--
