Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about the beginning of the book of Exodus, chapters 1 to 22.
There is a lot of important story to process here, beginning with the loss of good relationship between Egypt and the family of Israel, but with changes coming thanks to what God does through Moses.
It’s the foundational story of Israel as a distinctive people, ultimately a nation, but it also seems to be a universally relevant story about the relationship between good and evil, life with potential and the forces that block its fulfilment.
These aren’t just abstract ideas or the reasons for international conflicts, but real battles we face in and between ourselves personally.
Is this also a story about how God is involved with more aspects of our life than we might sometimes credit? Ancient people thought of gods as part of what they couldn’t otherwise explain in the world, but what if this God of Israel wanted to be the foundation for the whole of life?
The next part of our boxset will look at the rest of Exodus, chapters 23 to 40. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
