“Did you hear the one about the army that didn’t fight?” It sounds like a joke, but it is actually a good description of this passage. In the first battle the Israelites faced together, God was teaching them something very important about what it meant to be the people of God. We as the church need to learn the same lessons.

In this session we look at Moses, one of the most important figures in the Old Testament. He led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt to freedom. However, this was not simply a historical event: this is perhaps the most significant event in the Old Testament for understanding what it means to be a Christian.

Have you ever got to the critical moment of a film or a TV show, only to find it interrupted by an ad-break? You might think this passage in Exodus is similar – it seems to interrupt the action. What’s the point of genealogies? And why is there a genealogy here?

In the second part of Moses’ call, he asks God what to do if the Israelites don’t believe him and listen to him. God’s reply helps us to understand what it means to be a genuine servant of God, and how to recognise them.

After reading the first two chapters of Exodus, you might be wondering where has God been? Not absent, but taking a back seat. In Exodus 3, we see the moment when God steps in – and it changes everything.
