Covenant (6)
Series: Storyline
Zach Terry
Exodus 1:8-10
OPENING: How many Falcons fans? How many Patriots fans? How many watch the Super Bowl for the commercials?
The reason a fan is a fan is because of the story - the story of the team, the coach, the players.
SERIES CONTEXT:
So we are reading through the bible in a year and this week we are in Exodus. New story right? WRONG... that's the whole point of this series. This is not a new story but the next chapter in the story we've been reading since Jan. 1. Exodus is connected to Genesis, Exodus is connected to Job.

Because you see, some of you may be tempted to think - what difference does this make... why not do a series on marriage, or parenting, or finances? Something practical. Simply because all of those things we deem practical are lived out in the context of whatever STORY we see ourselves in.
Every single person in this building is either consciously or subconsciously seeing themselves as a integral part of a larger story - philosophers call this story the META-NARRATIVE.
NT Wright: ''A story...is...the best way of talking about the way the world actually is.''
Lesslie Newbigin: ''The way we understand human life depends on what conception we have of the human story. What is the real story of which my life story is part?''
Alasdair MacIntyre: ''''I can only answer the question, 'What am I to do?' if I can answer the prior question, 'Of what story do I find myself a part?''
If we are all building upon some story, some narrative the question is, ''Which one?''
The enemy has 1,000's of stories - God has only one and it is revealed to us on the pages of scripture.
CONTEXT: Exodus begins with a Genealogy - One of the things you will notice as you read through the Bible is that several of the books begin o ...
