The book of Exodus opens with several stories of civil disobedience, including the midwives who disobeyed Pharaoh's command to murder the Hebrew males. 

This episode explores totalitarianism, civil disobedience, and the two midwives - Shiphrah and Puah.  

When it comes to human life matters, God is the ultimate authority and must be obeyed. 

Shiphrah and Puah display the moral courage necessary to obey God during periods of totalitarian rule. 

Because of their courage, God blesses them by giving them families of their own.

​In this introductory video to the book of Exodus, we take a birds-eye view of the book's flow to gain a deeper understanding of its overall message.

There are two prominent themes of the book of Exodus. First, Redemption.

We explore the ancient cultural concept of redemption and how the book of Exodus serves as an example of God's plan for the world. 

The second theme is God's presence.

​The final third of the book of Exodus is about creating a space for God's presence to dwell. What are we doing to create this space? Do we crowd God out of our lives with our constant activity? If so, we must beware.  

Join us as we begin this journey through the book of Exodus.
