Exodus: A 12-Week Study

Knowing the Bible

by Matthew R. Newkirk, J.I. Packer (Editor)

The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on each and every page of the Bible.

The book of Exodus recounts the single most important event in Israel’s history: their escape from slavery in the land of Egypt. Tracing their journey across the Red Sea, through the wilderness, and eventually to Mount Sinai, this foundational Old Testament text highlights the supreme faithfulness and mercy of God in contrast to Israel’s consistent grumbling, rebellion, and sin—showing us that God is a God who saves sinners.

I’m glad I did this study with a group of ladies in my church. Without their insights I would not have gathered as much from this study. I felt I learned more from the authors writings than in answering the questions. I think this was more due to my personality than anything else.

These studies are weirdly worded and hard to get anything from it. Questions that leave me confused or not really worried about answering. I finished it, but would not do another from this series.

I totally fell in love with God and the book of Exodus from this study.
