What Is In Your Hand?
God has called us to freedom and to participate with Him in freeing others. We are not qualified in and of ourselves to do what God is asking of us, but He will work great miracles when we lay down whatever we have in our hands.

A Disciple's Joy
When it comes to your relationship with Christ, what makes you rejoice? Jesus told his disciples that, as great as it was for them to be exhibiting the power of the Kingdom, the real reason for rejoicing was the deliverance God brings to the heart of faith, a deliverance from death into life.

The Christian and the Law (Exodus 24)
The Old Testament Law is relevant to us today. Broadly, as a whole it gives us an appreciation for God's history of redemption, and specifically, the moral law applies to us today as Christians. Most importantly, we are to understand the Old Testament Law in a framework of grace. God first loved and saved Israel, and then through the law taught them to live holy lives for his glory. Obedience of the law cannot earn God's favor; it must be motivated by love for God and gratitude for our finished salvation.

God Works in a Mysterious Way
In difficult times I can often seem like God has abandoned or forgotten us. Paul addresses this in his letter to the Philippians as they endured hardship. First, the pattern for their lives is found in Jesus. His life was marked by humility, obedience and suffering followed by exaltation. We work out the deliverance from our harships because God is at work in us, energizing us to will & act according to His purpose of glorifying Jesus.

Faith in the Wilderness (Exodus 15:22 - 18:27)
After seeing God's great power and glory, Israel falls into escalating grumbling as God brings them through the wilderness. Moses, however, retains his faith in "the LORD my banner". Without denying the very real and agonizing hardships we experience in life, we must resist the temptation to unbelief and grumbling and must remind ourselves of God's goodness and faithfulness. He will surely continue to sustain us through trials.

With a Mighty Hand and Outstretched Arm (Exodus 13:17 - 15:21)
God set his love on an undeserving people and delivered them out of slavery by his mighty power, for his glory, and for their good. This points ahead to our own experience of salvation in Jesus. We ought to consider our own deliverance out of sin with great gratitude and rejoicing.

Christ the Passover (Exodus 11 - 13:16)
God delivered Israel out of Egypt by killing the Egyptians' firstborn but passing over Israel because of their making the passover sacrifice in faith. God charged Israel to remember their redemption to all generations; to forget God's redemption and deliverance was a matter of life and death. Likewise for us today, we are charged to remember our deliverance and redemption from sin in Jesus as a matter of life and death.

To Be the People of God (Exodus 3)
What does it mean to be the people of God? From Exodus 3 we see that: the Holy One will dwell with his people; the God of Abraham will deliver his people; I AM WHO I AM will be with his people; and the Mighty One will vindicate his people. We will see different facets of who God is and what it means that the holy God dwells with us, delivers us, and vindicates us.

That You May Know: The Story of Exodus
For his own sake and glory, God manifested his glory and greatness by acting with signs and wonders to deliver the nation of Israel. God's purpose in delivering Israel, and the purpose of the writing of the book of Exodus, is "that you may know" that he is the Lord of all things. God acts for his own glory, saves a people for his own glory, and calls us to live for his glory.
