Exodus: How God Forms a People for Himself($17.00Value)

Description

Exodus: How God Forms a People for Himself pastorally mines this pivotal story for insights into how God shapes a people to be uniquely his in the world. This ancient book is still relevant for God's people in the 21st century, exploring themes like God's presence, power, providence, and salvation, living among enemies; leadership, identity, law/gospel, providence, and worship. This book is not a traditional commentary. It is a pastor's way of working with the text for the life of the church while looking for Jesus along the way. Exodus: How God Forms a People for Himself is devotional, practical, and helpful for readers to discern ways God is forming them as his people in this world of false messages and modern pharaohs that seek to distract, confuse, and corrupt. God may just use this book to make better Christians of us all. The exodus is the pivotal event in Israel's storied history. The Psalms sing it. The prophets preach it. But more than a story of getting Israel from Egypt on the road to the Promised Land, Exodus provides insight into how God forms a people for himself. God chooses a particular people for himself, raises up a leader, invites them to know him by his name Yahweh, reveals his power, clarifies his people's identity, provides a legal structure by which they can learn how to love God and treat one another, and teaches them the kind of worship he want them to offer.
