God’s actions are a result of His attributes. After revealing in crystal clear form exactly who He is, God is now going to reveal to Moses exactly what He will do in Egypt. By perfectly laying out the details of the upcoming Exodus, God shows that He is sovereign over all, and that salvation is always a total work of God alone. Come learn from God’s Word with us how believers should respond to God’s sovereignty over all things.  

A lot of meaning is bound up in a name. As God commands Moses to go to Egypt to deliver His people, Moses responds by first asking, “Who am I?” and then asking, “Who is God?” By asking the name of God, Moses asks for God to intimately reveal the kind of God He is—His nature, characteristics, and attributes. God, instead of smiting Moses, graciously gives His name, I AM WHO I AM—the name “Yahweh.” As a result, God reveals for all the generations that follow both who He is and how people should respond to Him.     

Who do you believe God is? In the burning bush, God reveals Himself in a way never before seen since the Garden of Eden. By appearing to Moses, God reveals His plan of salvation for the Israelites by first revealing Himself. In doing so, God shows that His salvation is a result of His holiness, and what He does, and How people should respond to Him, is always on the basis on the kind of God He is.  

After four hundred years of Israel’s suffering, slavery, and genocide in Egypt, and after Moses’ exile in Midian, the story pauses to reflect on Israel’s suffering as they cry out to God. Despite all circumstances, God hears their cries, and remembering His promises to their forefathers, takes concern for them. Even when God feels distance, He knows. Join us as we dwell on the promises of God’s loving character.  

Three times Moses tries to save people. Three times in ends in disappointment. In a world of suffering, everyone wants to be rescued. But like Moses, the world tries in vain to do what only God can do: save people. Join us and find out how Moses’ failed attempts to save God’s people point to the true Rescuer sent by God to save people from their sins: the risen Jesus Christ.  

Is God working even when He is not seen? In Exodus 2:1-10, God is never mentioned, yet in every detail, God is mightily working to bring about His mercy to His people. By studying the birth of Moses, find out how God manifests His might in all things to bring about His mercy.
