See how God rescues his people and sets them free to take the land promised to their forefathers. Join the adventure today!
Part One
DIVE - CONSECRATION & COVENANT | Dr Katie Haldane
As you journey through Genesis and Exodus, have you noticed the language that is used for the Israelites’ relationship with God? Language is really important in the Bible and once we start to recognise the way it is used, it will bring our Bible reading to a whole new level.
DEEP DIVE - CONSECRATION & MONOTHEISM | Dr Katie Haldane
As we venture into Exodus, I want to explain to you the term ‘monotheism’, which might help you understand not only the Israelite community but God’s call for consecration and Jesus’ single-mindedness when it came to other religions and gods.
Part Two
DIVE - HOLY DISTINCTION | Dr Katie Haldane
Have you noticed God's holy protection over the Israelites throughout the Book of Exodus? And it begins before the Red Sea. Throughout the plagues, there are these obscure sentences that are easily missed, so let me take you back and show you the thread of ‘holy protection’ over the Hebrews throughout the Book of Exodus.
DEEP DIVE - THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: WHAT DO WE DO WITH THEM TODAY? | Ryan Kerrison
How incredible would it have been to see a mountain shaking?! Or in the Hebrew, ‘Käl-hähärm'od’ (the whole mountain trembled exceedingly). Hyperbole or not, the image conjured in this narrative recount is awe-inspiring!
Part Three
DIVE - JESUS OUR TABERNACLE | Dr Katie Haldane
Want to know the great thing about reading the Old Testament at this end of history’s timeline? You can see the patterns and things that point to Jesus all the way through the books.
DEEP DIVE - CHRISTOLOGY | Dr Katie Haldane
As we venture through the Bible, some might find it odd that we are introducing the study of Christ (Christology) here in the Old Testament. Isn’t the first appearance of Jesus found in the New Testament? To this question, I would say ‘Maybe’!
Part Four
DIVE - MOSES — SEEKING GOD'S PRESENCE | Dr Katie Haldane
In Exodus, we watch the development of an incredible leader: Moses. Have you enjoyed getting to read the real story rather than just watching the movie or remembering from Sunday school?
DEEP DIVE - THE NAMES OF GOD | Ruben Michael Els
Throughout the Bible and more specifically through the Old Testament, we see that names held specific meaning and therefore weren’t just a means of identification, but held significance as to the character or nature of the individual as well.
