EXODUS 015 – GRACE’S TRIUMPH

EXODUS 5:4-19 • DR. ANDY WOODS • SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • EXODUS

Following the assignation of Charlie Kirk, we as Christians wonder about the purpose of persecution. Exodus tells us that God’s people were also persecuted unjustly by Pharaoh. However, God’s grace is more powerful when we endure the world’s wrath. Persecution is temporary, God’s grace is eternal.

Here’s a summary of the PowerPoint:

Main ideas:

·      Exodus Structure: The book of Exodus is divided into Redemption, Mosaic Covenant, and Tabernacle building sections outlining Israel's deliverance and covenant with God 1 2

·      Redemption Narrative: Redemption covers Israel's oppression, Moses' development, confrontations with Pharaoh, and the plagues leading to liberation 3 4

·      Pharaoh's Opposition: Pharaoh increases Israel's burden by refusing demands and intensifying labor, causing distress among Israelites and foremen 5 6 7 8 9 10

·      Israel's Complaint: Israel complains to Moses about harsh conditions, and Moses in turn complains to God about the lack of deliverance 11 12 13

·      Spiritual Authority: Satan is depicted as the ruler of this world with various titles, paralleling the plagues in Exodus and Revelation as signs of divine authority 14 15 16
