The God Who is With Us (Exodus 33-40)
Finally, by the end of Exodus, the tabernacle has been meticulously constructed, and God’s glory dwells with his people. God has brought his people from slavery to worship.

The God Who is Merciful (Exodus 32)
Just after making a covenant with God, Moses goes up the mountain, and the Israelites fall into idolatry. They make an idol of a golden calf, and begin worshipping it as if it’s God.

The God Who is in Control (Exodus 7-10)
When Pharaoh refused to let God’s people out of slavery, God sent 10 plagues to his country. But why? Why not start with the final plague, that actually worked?

The God Who is Faithful (Exodus 1-2)
After four-hundred years of slavery, the Israelites could easily have felt that God had forgotten his promises. But through these events, God was at work to fulfil his promises to bless his people.
