The English title “Exodus” is taken from the Greek noun exodos, “a going out” or “departure.”
The Exodus is the major event of the first half of the book, in which the Lord brings Israel out of Egypt. As the people of God leave slavery in Egypt and enter into the wilderness, they discover the true heart of God. They also discover the deception of their own hearts as they repeatedly forsake Him. This people will be refined and will bring forth the One who would bless all nations.
How Did We Get Here?

In the book of Exodus, we discover that God’s people have been enslaved in Egypt. In order to understand what unfolds throughout the rest of the book, we must first understand what has already happened. In week 1, we will look back at what God has already done and what He has declared to do throughout the book of Genesis.

The people of God face horrible tragedy as the king of Egypt decrees that every newborn male be killed. In this text we see God’s provision and care as he begins to unfold his plan to bring His people to freedom. In our lives today we can hold onto the provision and care of God when we face grave darkness. Life can be very cruel sometimes, and though God does not always spare us from that cruelty we can hold onto the promise that God is with us and leading us to something better.
