The Birth of a Deliverer

This week, we begin a new sermon series through the book of Exodus. Exodus continues the story that began in Genesis—God’s faithfulness to bring about a Savior for the world through the people of Israel. We will be covering chapters 1–2, where we learn that Israel has grown from a family into a nation while dwelling in Egypt. When a new Pharaoh arose who did not know Joseph, he began to cruelly oppress the people of Israel. His oppression was not limited to slavery, but extended to ordering the slaughter of all the sons of Israel so that they would not rise against Egypt. Yet God shows His favor by preserving a deliverer, Moses, for His people in the midst of their bondage. In these chapters, we see that the Lord hears the cries of His people and acts to save them for His purposes and glory.
