The New Exodus #1 - Egypt

Written By Kurt Willems
 

Description

The Bible’s story is shaped by two early narratives: creation and exodus. In creation, God makes the world good and creates humans in his image. In the exodus, God reveals his commitment to free people from oppression. But the story also shows how humans misuse their freedom, dehumanizing themselves and others and living in exile from the life God intends. Jesus steps into that story as the true image of God and the one who leads a new exodus. In our new series, The New Exodus, we will see that Jesus shows us a better way to be human and continues to bring freedom, restoration, and new life into our world's brokenness and our everyday lives.
