Slavery (1 of 10)
Series: From Here to There - Exodus
Dave Gustavsen
Exodus 1:1 – 2:10
This is an exciting moment, because today is the first day of a brand new series. And I don't know how that feels to you-or if it feels like anything to you! But to me, this feels like opening up something I've been waiting for. You know that feeling when you get your new cell phone, or your new TV, or your new Peloton bike, or your new camera, or whatever you're into...and you open the package for the first time, and it smells new, and there's this feeling of possibility and mystery and just excitement? That's how it feels to me to begin a new series. Because I know that as we walk through Exodus this summer, God is going to show up. He's going to speak through the words of Scripture into our lives, in ways that we can't predict or control. And that has very little to do with my teaching ability. It's because the Word of God is alive, and it's powerful. So I hope you can feel some of that excitement with me, and open yourself up personally to how God wants to speak to you.
When I think about the book of Exodus, the word that comes to mind is the word ''epic.'' It's just an epic story. When the book starts, the total number of Israelites is...ready? 70. 70 people! And when it ends, there are 2-3 million of them. So over the summer we're going to follow the epic journey of this growing nation from slavery in Egypt to the edge of the Promised Land. And here's how I'm going to frame this series: throughout Exodus, God is leading the people of Israel out of where they were, and he's bringing them where He wants them to be. So he's taking them from here to there. And that same thing-that same movement-is true for every one of us. No matter where you are in life right now, that's not where you're supposed to be a year from now...five years from now...ten years from now. God has a dream for your future. God is not a God of stagnation or status quo. He's a God who leads his pe ...
