The God Who Protects (1 of 16)
Series: Exodus

Exodus 1-2
Intro/Attention
Today, we are embarking upon a brand new journey together; a study of the Old Testament book of Exodus. I have been looking forward to this journey for quite some time. Every year I read through Exodus in my Bible reading plan and I think to myself, ''This is a great book! I need to preach this entire book sometime soon.'' Well, that time has finally come. I am thrilled to study this book with you on Sunday mornings.
I'm calling this sermon series, Who Is This God? Because we learn a lot in Exodus, but we mostly learn about who God is. He reveals Himself in multiple and various ways throughout this book. And we learn more about His character, His nature, and His ways with His people.
*One commentator writes: Exodus is an epic tale of fire, sand, wind, and water. The adventure takes place under the hot desert sun, just beyond the shadow of the Great Pyramids. There are two mighty nations-Israel and Egypt-led by two great men-Moses the liberating hero and Pharaoh the enslaving villain. Almost every scene is a masterpiece: the baby in the basket; the burning bush; the river of blood and the other plagues; the angel of death; the crossing of the Red Sea; the manna in the wilderness; the water from the rock; the thunder and lightning on the mountain; the Ten Commandments; the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night; the golden calf; the glory in the tabernacle. Once heard, the story is never forgotten. For Jews it is the story that defines their very existence, the rescue that made them God's people. For Christians it is the gospel of the Old Testament, God's first great act of redemption. We return to the exodus again and again, sensing that somehow it holds significance for the entire human race. It is the story that gives every captive the hope of freedom. The exodus shows that there is a God who saves, who delivers his people from bondage.*
