How do we make the journey from slavery to freedom?
Our salvation requires a power outside ourselves, a force greater than the tyranny that rules us. The book of Exodus shows us a people enslaved by great evil—both political and spiritual. God displays his might and heart in rescuing Israel out of bondage, a mission foreshadowing his ultimate dedication to free all his people from slavery to sin. Join us in this study of Exodus as we see in the Israelites our own need for a Redeemer and are moved to worship Yahweh for his power to save.

Study Questions
Out of the Water
In Exodus 2, we learn about Moses—a man whose providential birth, upbringing, cultural background, and choices position him to be an integral part of the rescue plan that God is working out for his people.
A Suffering People
The book of Exodus is a story of redemption and punishment, of salvation and judgment. Though the nation of Israel is enslaved and oppressed under a cruel worldly power, God blesses and rescues them and calls them to be his distinct people.
With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.
Exodus 15:13
