The Book of Exodus: A Glimpse of God - Instructor Dr. Mel Silas
Exodus tells the story of God revealing Himself to His people, rescuing them from slavery, teaching them how to live and how to worship. The physical rescue of the nation of Israel from Egypt is used as a metaphor by New Testament authors, who reflect on how God ultimately rescues his people from slavery to sin by defeating the powers and authorities of this world. Join us to learn the lessons of this Old Testament book, and to understand how it points forward to Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.
