Life on the West Side

The Gospel In Exodus

March 28, 2023 • Nathan Guy • Season 2 • Episode 62

Read the Bible with Gospel Lenses. When God says he will bless the entire world through one man. When all cry out for deliverance from Egypt, or Assyria, or Babylon…and God comes to their rescue. When outsiders beg for mercy, and dare to touch the face of God, and they find overwhelming grace and acceptance.

The gospel was preached to Abraham. Every section of Scripture—Law, Prophets, Psalms, Gospels, Letters, and Apocalypse—tells of God’s relentless rescue mission, reconciling the world in and through the Messiah.

Hear every book of the Bible retold through the lens of the gospel.

The sermon today is titled "The Gospel In Exodus." It is the third installment in our "The Gospel In Every Story" Series. The Scripture reading is from Exodus 6:5-8. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on January 22, 2023. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under Learn: Christian Scripture.

Footnotes (Sources and References Used In Today's Podcast):

I was inspired to do this series by reading Tim Keller, Center Church. Little did I know he would wind up doing a video series covering the same material at the same time! I did not view his video series, but I am sure they are great.
Michael Williams, How To Read The Bible Through The Jesus Lens, served as the first and most basic resource. I used his key texts and hook questions, and often found his short summary of the books to be inspirational.
Christopher J. H. Wright, The Old Testament In Seven Sentences.
Christopher J. H. Wright, Knowing Jesus Through The Old Testament.
H. H. Drake Williams III, Making Sense of the Bible.
N. T. Wright, The New Testament and the People of God.

I'd love to connect with you!
