Fairhaven has embarked upon a journey through the book of Exodus, the second book in the Bible.
Exodus tells the story of a God Who knows what His people are going through. God’s people are enslaved in Egypt and experiencing great suffering. When they cry out in desperation for help, God is not far –- He hears their cry and comes to their rescue. With a mighty hand He draws them out of the land. With plagues and power, God shows himself mightier than Pharaoh, but it is ultimately through the sacrifice of the Passover lamb that the people are saved. He brings them through the Red Sea in a miraculous display and to the foot of His holy mountain. There we learn the awesome purpose for which He has drawn them out: to draw them in. Not only does God know His people, but even more remarkably, He desires to be known by them. He desires to dwell with them. “I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
Israel finds themselves no longer slaves but sons, saved by the blood of the lamb, saved through the water, walking through a difficult land on their way to a land of promise. That’s the story of God’s people then, and it’s the story of God’s people now. He still knows what you are going through, He still has the power to rescue, and yes, He still desires to draw you in. You can know God by name!
Our leadership team has prepared the Exodus Book to encourage families and individuals in their personal Bible study, scripture memorization, and meditation in Exodus throughout the week.
Sunday Sermon
Each Sunday* morning we'll hear a message from the book of Exodus. Take notes in your copy of the book or on a handout you can get at the door.
Personal Study
The Exodus book (or handout) includes devotions for three days of personal study during the week to personalize Sunday's teaching.
Join a Group
Join one of our Exodus Groups or simply meet with a friend or a member of your family to carry on the discovery. See the Exodus book for questions to get the discussion going.
If you want the Exodus book, you will have the whole curriculum, but it will not be required. The discussion questions will be provided during each Sunday’s Family Bible Hour. A PDF of the entire book is available electronically (see link).
*After a short break starting mid-November, we’ll pick the study back up in the new year and continue up until Easter.
