We’re in week six of Exodus. In brief, Exodus is all about God’s mission to redeem a people for His Kingdom in this world. Here’s how you can prepare this week:

1. Read through our text, Exodus 4:1–31.

God had revealed Himself to Moses in power and called Moses to be His messenger to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. But Moses lacked faith that things would unfold the way that God had said. First, he questioned whether or not people would believe him or even listen to him. The Lord responded to this fear by giving Moses three powerful signs that He could use to support the veracity of His claim that he was a messenger of God. Second, Moses questioned his own ability to perform that task due to his weaknesses as a communicator. The Lord responded by declaring His sovereign power as his Creator, and His ability to strengthen Moses for the task that He was calling him to perform. Yet again, Moses resisted in fear, pleading to the Lord to send someone else. This time, the Lord grew angry with Moses’ faithless resistance, yet He still partially acquiesces to Moses request, telling Moses that his brother Aaron can act as Moses’ mouthpiece. Finally, Moses yielded to the Lord and began his journey back to Egypt.

Along the way, the Lord intervened in surprising ways reminding Moses of His covenant commitment to Israel as His “firstborn son” and of the conditions of His covenant with Israel. After Moses met with Aaron, they spoke to the people of Israel, and the people believed and worshipped God.

This is our fifth week of Exodus at Park Church. In brief, Exodus is all about God’s mission to redeem a people for His Kingdom in this world. Here’s how you can prepare for our time together this week:

1. Read through our text, Exodus 3:1–22.

It was 40 years since Moses settled in Midian, and he was an 80-year-old man when God intervened in His life with one of the most powerful stories of the Bible. While shepherding a flock through the wilderness, the LORD appeared to him in the form of a burning bush and called Moses to speak with Him. The passage is bursting with themes that are foundational for our knowledge of God. First, He is holy, which means He is set apart as uniquely powerful and pure. His Holy presence is both captivating and terrifying. Second, He is the God who reveals Himself to His people. He reveals to Moses His covenant name, Yahweh, which indicates His mysterious and eternal existence (“I AM WHO I AM”). He is the God who was, and is, and ever shall be. Third, He is the God who speaks and acts with sovereign power, faithfulness, and compassion to redeem His covenant people and to draw them into His presence. Fourth, He is the God who calls His people to trust in His power and to participate in His mission to redeem the world for His glory.

It’s week four of Exodus at Park Church. In brief, Exodus is all about God’s mission to redeem a people for His Kingdom in this world. Here’s how you can prepare for our time together this week:

1. Read through our text, Exodus 2:23–25.

The previous ruler of Egypt died, and the people of Israel were suffering and desperately crying out for help and deliverance. The passage gives us unique insight into the heavenly realm where we see God paying attention to the cries of His people. God heard their groaning, indicating His care about their suffering. He remembered His covenant with Abraham, referring to His promise to make this His offspring into a great nation, to give them the land of Canaan, to bless them, and to make them a blessing to all nations. This promise is far from their current experience, and God saw the situation of His people and responded with deep concern and love. This short paragraph sets the stage for the whole story of deliverance that will follow, where God will show His power to redeem a people for His Kingdom.

We’re in week three of our study of the book of Exodus. Exodus is all about God’s mission to redeem a people for His Kingdom in this world. Here’s how you can prepare this week:

1. Read through our text, Exodus 2:1–22.

Into this this dark scene of death comes a beautiful ray of hope—a Hebrew woman who risked her life to preserve her newborn baby boy. She made a basket and put him in the river hoping against all hopes that he could somehow be spared from the death that surrounded her people. The baby was found by none other than Pharaoh’s own daughter who had compassion on him and decided to raise him as her own son. She named him Moses, which means “to draw out.” This would be the one that God would use to draw His people out of slavery and into His presence.

Years later, when Moses was grown, he saw the oppression of his own people, and he took vengeance into his own hands, killing an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew man. When this became known, Pharaoh sought to kill Moses, so Moses fled to the land of Midian. While sitting at a well in Midian, he protected seven daughters of a Midianite priest from a group of threatening shepherds. The scene closes with Moses settling with this Midianite family, marrying one of the sisters, Zipporah, and starting a family with her in Midian.
