The Story

Exodus is the ultimate rescue story. God hears the cry of His enslaved people in Egypt, raises up Moses, unleashes ten devastating plagues, and parts the Red Sea to set them free. But freedom isn't the finish line — at Mount Sinai, God gives them His law and invites them into a covenant relationship. He wants to dwell among them, and the tabernacle is how He makes that happen.

Make Me Care

You were never meant to stay stuck

Exodus isn't just ancient history — it's the story of anyone who's ever felt trapped. Bad job, bad relationship, bad habits. God doesn't just notice your suffering; He comes down to do something about it. And He doesn't just set you free — He walks with you through the wilderness after.

What's the Egypt in your life — the thing you've accepted as normal that God never intended for you?
