A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 015

Image
        Exodus 17 thru 19   Be Careful What You Wish For  The Israelites finally get to Mt Sinai. It wasn't easy. Got attacked on the way. Ran out of water--twice. Ran out of food. And God showed up every single time.      Now the Israelites have a chance to hear God for themselves. I think they get more than they bargained for!     A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.   More info at EversBibleClass.com .

       Exodus 12 thru 16   The Exodus   All its mysteries. All its violence. All its wonders.      The Israelites are like an abused spouse. They want to be rescued, but they are terrified when their abuser gives chase. God is mighty to save--and tender as a mother with them. Even when they falter and want to return to their abuser, God gently coaxes them onward to freedom.     We take a closer look at the power dynamics that lurk beneath the surface, especially in the struggle between God and the gods of Egypt, including Pharaoh. Why did the firstborn have to die?   A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.   More info at EversBibleClass.com .

      Exodus 5 thru 11   Here Come the Plagues   Pharaoh thinks  he's a god. And he'll worship anything that moves--except God. The Hebrews are shrieking in pain and crying out in their suffering. And God shows up! In this class, God does battle with Pharaoh and the entire pantheon of Egyptian gods.       We get two new tools for our backpack. And we do a deep dive into "I am YHWH" to see what God has to say about himself and his relationship with us. This gives us the backbone--the spine--the rest of the Bible will be built around. It's an eye-opening view of God.   A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.   More info at EversBibleClass.com .

     Exodus 1 thru 4   This is Not Going to End Well   God calls Moses to return to Egypt to rescue the Israelites, but Moses really, really, doesn't want to go. God insists. God's already warned him that he will harden Pharaoh's heart. And once Moses sets out for Egypt, God shows up to kill "him" -- him who? What in the world is going on? What kind of God is this?     A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.   More info at EversBibleClass.com .
