         Various Texts

         Pastor Anthony

Message Outline

1. The God Who Hears (cc1-6)

i) God begins to fulfill His promise to Abraham

ii) Exodus reminds us that a delay of deliverance is not

the absence of a loving God who cares for His people

2. The God Who Delivers (cc7-12)

i) God Demonstrates His divine power through the Ten Plagues

ii) Israel is delivered through the blood of the Passover lamb

iii) The Passover is a shadow of the greater Passover Lamb who delivers His people through His blood shed on the Cross

iv) Exodus reminds us that salvation is the work of God from beginning to end

3. The God Who Provides (cc13-18)

i) Newly freed slaves need to learn some things about their Deliverer

ii) Out of their grumbling God teaches them that He will sustain them

iii) God’s provision has a purpose: It teaches dependence on Him; freedom requires trust

4. The God Who Commands (cc19-24)

i) The commands don’t make Israel God’s people; they already are His people

ii) The commands lead us to what true life looks like when we live in covenant with a holy God

iii) God saves His people FOR something; that we might know Him, worship Him,

 and reflect His beauty and glory in this sinful, lost, and broken world

The Teen retreat maxed out last year so register early!  The theme for 2026 is "Called" with our theme verses being Matthew 28:18-20, the Great Commission. We are excited to learn more about what it means to be "Called".
