We are glad you want to grow, and we want to help you in every way we can. The number one forum we use to help you learn from God is our twice-weekly Bible classes. Therefore, we have worked hard to develop classes that will help you grow in Christ and learn from God and His Word. From Captivity to Covenant In the quarter before us we will study the Old Testament books of Exodus. The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings. The story that began in that book continues in Exodus. It is the continuation of the saga of God building a great nation through the seed of Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3; 22:18). In Genesis God had made three promises to Abraham. He promised to make a great nation from his descendants; to give him a great land; and that through Abraham s seed, one would come who would bless all nations. God promised Abraham that his family would be so large that his descendants would be as numberless as the stars of the heavens (Genesis 15:5). Israel is that nation the descendants of Abraham. Indeed, they did become very great in number, just as the Lord had promised Abraham in Genesis 15:5. This is an exciting time period as God begins His covenant with Israel, foreshadowing and pointing to the greater covenant and the salvation we now have in Christ. You won t want to miss a single class as we study the great power and majesty of God, seeing the working out of His plan for Israel that will lead into His plans for the spiritual Israel of which we are now a part. About the Material This material was originally developed by Edwin Crozier. We have modified it (with Edwin s permission) for our purposes.

We ll discuss all the questions in class and that will clarify what you need to know in each lesson. -- Greg and Max
