Freedom From Slavery (3 of 66)
Series: Route 66: A Road Trip Through the Bible

Exodus
The greatest speech in American history is an interesting debate. One was delivered by the Great Emancipator, President Abraham Lincoln; the other was delivered 100 years later by the grandson of a liberated slave, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Both of those speeches were delivered before standing room only crowds. The first speech ended in mute silence; the second speech ended in thunderous applause. The Gettysburg Address lasted all of two minutes; the I Have a Dream speech lasted sixteen minutes and twenty seconds.

We're in a new sermon series called Route 66: A Road Trip Through the Bible, and we're working our way through the Bible, one book at a time. The Bible has two testaments (there are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament).
The Old Testament includes five books of Law, twelve books of History, five books of Poetry and seventeen books of Prophecy. The New Testament includes four Gospels, one book of History, 21 Letters and one book of Prophecy.
This is Week No. 3 in the series. We opened with an overview of the Bible. Genesis is a book of beginnings. Today's book is Exodus and the theme is Freedom From Slavery.
There's nothing better than freedom from the bondage of things that trap us. Ask the 30-year-old who pays off his college debt or the 50-year-old who makes his 360th house payment! Ask the teenager who gets behind the steering wheel of his father's car and leaves alone for the first time! There's nothing like the sweet taste of freedom.
Ask the athlete who runs onto the field or the court to play a game instead of practicing against his teammates. Ask th ...
