SERIES: Exodus


I'm currently teaching through a six-week series I've created called "Exodus".  The series is a walk through the book with an emphasis on the main character, God (not Moses!), and who He reveals Himself to be, and ultimately what that means for students today.  Check out this brief summary of each week below:



Part 1 – “God Hears”
-          Exodus 1:1-2:25
-          The plight of the Israelites, God hears them and lays the groundwork for their rescue.
-          You may question God’s will and purpose, but He is faithful to His people, hears them, and is working out a plan for good in your life.

Part 2 – “God Calls”
-          Exodus 3:1-4:17
-          God reveals Himself, His plan, and His calling to Moses.  Moses objects, but God reassures him.
-          God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.
-          Whatever God has called you to do or be, trust Him that He knows what He’s doing.

Part 3 – “God Challenges”
-          Exodus 4:18-12:51
-          Moses goes to Egypt, confronts Pharaoh, Pharaoh says no, the ten plagues, Pharaoh caves.
-          There are consequences to disobedience.  If we don’t obey and follow God, we should expect difficulties, trials, or hardship, but obedience can lead to blessing.

Part 4 – “God Provides”
-          Exodus 13:1-31:18
-          Red Sea, manna, water, direction, the Law.
-          When you follow God, He provides what you need to follow Him and stay in His will.
-          Beware of becoming dissatisfied…

Part 5 – “God Corrects”
-          Exodus 32:1-33:6
-          Golden calf, consequences.
-          What happens when we become dissatisfied in God?  Idolatry.  What are the consequences?

Part 6 – “God Restores”
-          Exodus 33:7-40:38
-          Tent of meeting, Moses and the glory of the Lord, the return of the Law, the Tabernacle, and the recommitment to the Promise.
-          No matter how unfaithful we are to God, He is still faithful to us and His ultimate goal is restoration the story He wants to tell is one of redemption!


As always, feel free to steal any of my ideas and use them for your own!
