Our journey together is one of moving from terror to safety, from a suffering life into one of rest and home that is not rooted in a place but in the loving presence of God with us.

Learn about what it means to be a son of Israel, born from an experience of struggle that is not apart from but in the presence of God.

The people the Lord delivers from bondage are not a simple purebred family, but a complicated, expansive, far-reaching family borne of a supernatural love that reconciled enemies and displayed brotherly love beyond offense.

Deliverance from Egypt is about being freed from the grip of fear, reasoning, and suffering in how we see life apart from God, and being brought into an awareness of the goodness of an immortal and invisible God who is expressed in all things. God calls Moses to free His people from the misery of trusting in the changeable and fading visible world by unfolding plagues that make a spectacle of what Egypt worships and by revealing Himself as the God of redemption, who answers prayer with mercy and life.

The ultimate freedom from the grip of fear in a life that is not aware of God is to know God in the greatest fear, that is: death. God shows us how to experience Him in the flesh by taking a lamb as part of the family… as a husband takes his wife, as your God has taken you to be His own, His beloved, enfolded one. Then, after four days, slaughter him and receive this death in your stead, allow the flame of God to transform it into a feast of life, full of nourishing love. When you taste this, you’ll see God’s goodness even through death, and you will leave Egypt enriched and blessed.
