Exodus, the Gospel of the Old Testament

Jeff Norris, Caleb Click, and Bob Cargo preview the Exodus sermon series. They consider the Israelites’ experience of slavery, God’s faithfulness to His promises, and His desire to be known as the Redeemer of all nations.

Quotes:

• “When I think about the book of Exodus, it’s pretty much the gospel of the Old Testament. This is the gospel engine that drives everything that Israel is called to do. And we have this idea sometimes that the Old Testament is irrelevant to us and it’s something that’s part of the past—and even that God seems to act differently in it. But if you read the book of Exodus, you see the paradigm for the redemptive work of God that finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. It is a gospel book, for gospel people, and it has a direct implication for the life of the people of God here and now.” — Caleb Click
• “The hard reality sometimes as followers of this great promise-keeping God is that He is a promise keeper. He is faithful, but sometimes in our lives, we don’t get to see the fruit of that promise the way that we would have hoped. But it doesn’t mean that the character of God has changed at all.” — Jeff Norris
• “God is with us in our suffering and that brokenness and suffering becomes our platform to serve other people.” — Bob Cargo
