Title: God’s SonSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Exodus 4:18 - 5:23Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.Overview: And, just as we've seen in our passage today, God is willing to do that work. He sees his people as he sees his only begotten Son, so he is motivated to deliver us. Though the situations God's children find themselves in often worsen before the deliverance, God's ultimate deliverance is decided and guaranteed. Just as Pharaoh was a toy in his hand, so the powers of this world and world system are destined to a bitter end. God has plans for his kids, and he is playing the long game to produce those plans.Link to Sermon NotesLink to Discussion Questions

Title: Never An Ornamental ExtraSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Exodus 3:13-4:17Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.Overview: In our passage today, God appears to Moses as discontent to be thought of as an ornamental extra. He is meant to be at the center of his people, the focus of our lives. He is all that we are not. He is altogether sufficient—our "ever-present and ever-present interventionist for good."1 He is inexhaustibly enough; originates the great reversal humanity needs; is the ultimate power of powers, even the power of death; and is the sovereign Lord who works out his plans—and he longs to be at the center of our lives.Link to Sermon NotesLink to Discussion Questions

Title: People Who Experience God's ExodusSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Exodus 2:11 - 3:12Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.Overview: So God is the God of exodus—he is always at work to bring us out of "Egypts" in order to bring us into himself. In our passage today, we have thought about the person God uses to create that exodus. They are humble, outside the world system, live in the fear of the Lord, and are empowered by God for their task.Link to Sermon NotesLink to Discussion Questions

Title: His PresenceSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Exodus 1:1 - 2:10Exodus Theme: The holy God wants us to know him and experience his presence, but we must first exit unholy bondage and enter holy servitude.Overview: This simple outline helps inform our theme for studying the book: Knowing God. This, after all, was God's aim. He did not want to set Israel free just so they could be free, but so they might serve him. Through Moses to Pharaoh, God often said, "Let me people go, that they may serve me" (Ex. 5:1, 7:16, 8:1, 9:1, etc.).Link to Sermon Notes
