Exodus Study #2: Chapter 3:3-7:3




In this second study, we covered everything from God's initial call of Moses at the burning bush to Moses' first attempt and failure at leading the Israelites out of Egypt. In all of this we saw the purpose of God bringing glory to himself and continue to learn that everything that God does is for our good and His glory.


Here are the three themes we came up with:

3:1-4:17

God chooses Moses but Moses is doubtful. God equips people for the task to which He calls them.


4:18-26

God is about to kill Moses because he didn't circumcise his son. In this we see Moses' disobedience and God's holiness as He will not tolerate disobedience.


5:1-7:7

Upon Moses' request to Pharaoh to let the people go into the wilderness, the Pharaoh is angered and presses the Israelites even harder through more labor. As a result, Moses and the Israelites grow frustrated and question the plan but despite this, God promises to reveal His glory in the midst of difficult situations and crisis of faith.
Join us this Friday as we continue our study of Exodus in 7:8-15:21. Hope to see you there!
