Exodus 1:1-7
January 15, 2024
This sermon introduces Exodus 1:1-7 by connecting Israel’s growth in Egypt with God’s purposes, promises, and faithfulness established in Genesis. It explains how humanity’s sin disrupts God’s purposes, while God graciously promises to work through undeserving people and remains faithful even when his plan seems delayed or indirect. Congregants are encouraged to trust that God can redeem sin and evil, fulfill his promises, and lead his people toward salvation and life with him.
