Exodus 6 (Sunday School)

Faith Presbyterian Church PCA (Clinton, LA)

Moses has spoken to Pharaoh, and much to his chagrin, it went terribly—just as the Lord told him beforehand. Now as the Lord responds to Moses and the people’s complaint, he anchors his promise of redemption in history by pointing to his covenant with their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And as Moses steps back from describing how God addressed the people at the time of the Exodus, he follows the same example, providing a genealogy that carries us forward into the wilderness generation and all the way to the border of the promised land. It is as though he says to the people the book is written to, “Listen up. These were your grandfathers. This God has worked this salvation for this family.” Join us as we reflect on the importance of intergenerational testimony, and the way God uses history to turn down the volume on our sufferings so that we can hear his promises afresh.
