Exodus: Delivered to DwellMitch Green
Written By Olivia Zurawski

< BACK TO ALL

Exodus 19:1–25 | After the Israelites' departure from Egypt, we find them camped out in the wilderness, looking up at Mount Sinai, and waiting for God to speak. The Lord calls to Moses from the mountain, and Moses must deliver a message to the people: to obey the covenant they will receive from the Lord. Exodus 19 tells the middle of the story between God's deliverance of Israel and Israel's dwelling with God.

Exodus 33:1–34:35 | If you could have all the blessings God can give without God's presence, would you be okay with that? This is what the Israelites were faced with. God has made a way to lead them to the promised land, promised protection from enemies, and laid before them a land flowing with milk and honey, but there was one major problem. He said he wasn't going with them. They knew that was a disastrous word. Would we know that as well? This Sunday, we look at five reasons we are desperate for God's presence in our lives.

Exodus 32:7-35 | While Moses was quite literally on a mountaintop moment with God, the people back in the camp turned to another god. The golden calf idol of the Exodus story isn't just some crazy act of an ancient people, but rather everything about it reveals how our hearts make idols. More importantly, this chapter also helps us know how to break these idols. This Sunday, we look at how idols are broken in our life.

Exodus 31:1–18 | The instructions for the tabernacle are clear, but who will build it? God clearly tells Moses whom He has called for the work and how he has empowered him for the work. We might not be called to build a tabernacle, but there is work God has called us to, and if God has called us to it, He has empowered us for it. Let's find out how together!

Exodus 28:1–4 | The high priest was a big deal throughout Old Testament history. He was the one who had access to God in the Holy of Holies. He was the mediator between the holy God and His covenant people. This week, we unpack the roles of the high priest and the garments he wore to reflect the glory of God. And we see the life-changing connection that Jesus came as a new, greater High Priest, so that we will forever be reconciled to the heart of our loving Heavenly Father.

Exodus 25:1–27:21 | The tabernacle communicates something remarkable: a holy God delights to dwell with sinful people. This is truly remarkable. What is even better news is that we see God making a way to dwell with His people in all of history. This week we take a deep look into the tabernacle and how the elements show us God's desire to manifest His presence among His people. We will also see how each element of the tabernacle points us to Jesus Christ as the greater Tabernacle.

Exodus 21:1–24:18 | What do you do when you come to the large sections of the Bible that list a bunch of Old Testament laws? Have you skipped past them? Be honest! Have you skimmed them with the thought that there really isn't anything in there for you? We absolutely know that we are saved by grace through faith and not through law-keeping, but why is there so much in the inspired Word devoted to the law? What if God's law shows us God's heart?

Exodus 20:1–26 | What has been your relationship with the Ten Commandments? Are they merely a list of rules? What do they mean for us who have been redeemed on this side of the cross? If all of them have been fulfilled by Jesus, and we are now in Christ, what importance should they have in our life? We continue Part 2 of our study on the Ten Commandments seeking to understand what marks a community of God's people that love Him and love others.

Exodus 18:1–27 | Exodus 18 reveals a foundational truth to our faith. After a period of conflict, Moses shares a conversation with Jethro, a Midianite whose faith was not in God, but Jethro acknowledges the power of God on the journey of the Israelites. We learn through this chapter that people of wisdom declare God as the one true God and guide us as we guide others to believe the same.

Exodus 15:22-17:16 | We have seen God's leading of His people, but it is good to know that as God leads, He does so by providing and protecting. All of our provision comes from the Lord, and all of our protection is ultimately found in the Lord. We see the provision and protection of the Lord over His people in this week's passage, and it should bring deep worship, comfort, and trust to our hearts.

Exodus 14:1-15:21 | At the pinnacle point of the exodus from Egypt, we see how a good and mighty God leads His people out. As we study this, the Word of God will unpack for us six faith-growing truths of how God leads. This is a catalytic study for us to grow our faith in following our good and mighty God.

Exodus 13:1-22 | The command to remember is important to God. Again and again, in His Word, He tells us to remember what He has done and how he has saved us. This remembering of the past has the power to help us faithfully follow His leading in the present. This week, we see how God has called us to remember His saving work in the past and follow His leading in the present.

Exodus 17:1-10:29 | God will inflict ten mighty plagues on the land of Egypt. What is his purpose of the plagues? What is He declaring? Is this just some cat-and-mouse game He is playing with Pharaoh? No, this is massive. In the sending of the plagues, God is saying something powerful we all must hear and heed.

The Costs and Blessings of Obedience
Exodus: Delivered to Dwell, Brock Graham

Exodus 5:1-6:30 | Obey God and everything in life is easy, right? Well, not quite. Obedience is a blessing for sure, but we need to define what that means. Oftentimes, obeying God can make life heavier and criticism from others harsher in the near term. So why obey? Because He is worthy and because the blessings of obedience always outweigh the costs. Exodus chapters 5 and 6 are a great teacher of this.

When Suffering Won't Cease
Exodus: Delivered to Dwell, Brock Graham

Exodus 2:11-25 | A season of suffering is awful. A season of suffering with no hope of its end in sight is worse. The circumstances of suffering are hard, but it is even worse to have no hope that the suffering will end soon. What do we do when we are here? Where do we anchor our soul for rest, worship, hope, and peace?  In this week's passage, there are four verbs used to describe God in the midst of His people suffering with no end in sight. These four verbs are anchors for our soul when we are in the midst of suffering that just won't cease.

Exodus 1:1-2:10 | It is not enough to know things about God. We must know God.  A.W. Tozer wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." This is emphatically true. Who is God? And how do we know Him? And how does He interact with us as sinners and sufferers? As we embark on our study through Exodus, we set out on a journey to know our God. What we will find is that our God is a God who sees us in our bondage and delivers us from it so He can dwell with us as we worship Him. As we see Him for who He is, may we respond like Moses who worshipfully bows in his presence.
