The Road Less Traveled

9/5/2023 - 11/14/2023

This will follow up our two-semester study in Genesis. It is simply the next chapter in the story of God’s people. We will cover their miraculous exit from Egypt and their four-decade long enrollment in God’s school of difficult life lessons. All along the way, He will continue to reveal Himself to them while, at the same time, exposing their flaws and lack of faithfulness – all so that He might prepare them to be His chosen and set-apart people who would occupy the land He had promised and declare His glory to the nations.

I Will Dwell with You

Ken Miller | Nov. 14, 2023

It is fitting that the book of Exodus ends with the glory of God filling the recently completed Tabernacle. When His home was adequately furnished and ceremonially cleansed, God took up residence, illustrating His satisfaction with His new home and demonstrating His intention to remain with His people from Sinai all the way to Canaan.

A People Fit for Destruction

This section of Exodus will provide a powerful reminder of mankind’s inherent wickedness and God’s holiness. Having received God’s law and committed to keeping His covenant, the people followed up this display of whole-hearted assent with one of the most egregious acts of willful defiance found anywhere in Scripture.

World-Class Whiners

Ken Miller | Oct. 10, 2023

This lesson will cover the early stages of the exodus as the people cross the Red Sea on dry ground, witness the destruction of Pharaoh’s army, and their own deliverance to the safety of the wilderness. But it doesn’t take long before their shouts of joy turn to grumbling and complaining.

A Matter of Life & Death

Ken Miller | Oct. 3, 2023

A Reluctant Deliverer

Ken Miller | Sep. 19, 2023

Moses had been set apart by God but was not yet ready to serve as God’s deliverer. He was a fugitive from justice and, in essence, damaged goods because he had committed murder. But the beauty of this lesson is how God chose Moses despite all his problems.
