To know the story of Exodus and God’s people is to recognize it as our own: He hears us and reaches out to rescue us. Through this series, we hope to learn the story of Exodus, grow in our awe and worship of God and celebrate the One who draws us out of our sin and draws us into relationship with Him.-------------The Israelites were not a new nation, but they certainly had a new national identity. It was God's intent that they find their identity in being His people. Thus, He gave Moses the Law to safeguard and protect their identity as His people.-------------They were called to live by this covenant, to be different than the world around them. He calls for us to do the same, but He calls for us to find our identity not through merely keeping the Law (which none of us could possibly accomplish) but through the gift of His grace, safeguarded by the forgiving blood of Jesus Christ.
