Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop: Professor Lessing in Santa Fe, NM

Deliver Us: God’s Rescue Story in Exodus

God’s song of deliverance is your song, too. Dive into Exodus to discover the beat, rhythm and cadence of Exodus — and of your story and your song. Learn how Exodus expounds on Genesis, continuing the never-ending song while telling the riveting story of the Israelites being delivered out of Egypt, out of slavery and into God’s care through the wilderness. Be encouraged by reminders of God’s presence and His actions in your life through His delivering of the Israelites from slavery. Find Christ in the Old Testament through His presence, predictions and patterns. See how God reveals His name and character to His people throughout Exodus. The workshop also will dig deep into the 10 plagues, the 10 Commandments, and more with a theological background and easy-to-understand vocabulary.
