At times, Christians can act like a football team which strolls onto the field and is shocked that the opposing team showed up! We expect victory without a fight. In this message, Dr. John speaks of Israel's bitterness and despair when Pharaoh increases their labour in light of Moses' demand. We are reminded that deep faith not only sees the promise of victory, but clings to it when the going gets hard. God's Rescue Plan: We tend to think of deliverance as a rescue from something - a fire, an accident, a trap. In this 25-message series from Exodus, Dr. John will show that God’s rescue of Israel is not just from slavery, but to a covenant. Deliverance and promise are the themes of Exodus and the themes of our own redemption.
