Exodus:

Freedom, Formation, Presence

The book of Exodus contains some of the most well-known stories in the Bible—Moses rescued from the Nile, the ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, the giving of the Ten Commandments, and the golden calf, to name just a few. But Exodus is much more than a collection of remarkable moments in time. It is the defining story of God's redeeming work in the Old Testament, shaping the identity of the children of Israel, laying the foundation for the church, and profoundly influencing the course of history.

At its heart, Exodus answers some of life's most important questions: What does true freedom look like? How do we experience lasting change? Who is God, and what is he really like? What does it mean to belong to him?

In Exodus, God delivers his people from slavery in Egypt, but redemption is only the beginning. He enters into a covenant relationship with them, teaches them how to live as his people, transforms them from a community of slaves into a holy nation, and prepares them to dwell in the joy of his presence. The same God is still at work today—setting us free and teaching us to live as free people.

Exodus Bible
Reading Plan

As followers of Jesus, the Bible plays a crucial role in our spiritual formation. Through Scripture we come to know God, hear his voice, understand his story, and learn what it means to follow Jesus. Scripture is not merely information to master but an invitation to be transformed by God’s truth and presence.

As we journey through Exodus together, we want everyone at PSCC to learn and practice two methods of reading Scripture:

  • Inductive Bible Study (such as the HEAR method) helps us slow down, pay attention to what the text actually says, understand its context, and discern what it reveals about God, ourselves, and the way of Jesus. It guards us from simply reading our own ideas into Scripture. 

  • Spiritual Reading (such as Lectio Divina) approaches the same Scriptures with a posture of prayerful attentiveness—reading, meditating, praying, and listening for how God is inviting us to respond.

Both types of reading are important. Inductive study helps us understand the Word faithfully, while spiritual reading helps us receive the Word personally and respond to God relationally. Together, they move Bible reading beyond simply knowing more about the Bible toward being formed more fully into the likeness of Jesus.

    When God Came Near | Sunday December 21st, 2025

    This Sunday we continued our Advent series When God Came Near by looking at Galatians 4:4–7. Paul reminds us that when God sent His Son, He came fully God, fully human, and perfectly sinless—uniquely qualified to save. Jesus came near with the power to restore what was broken, the humility to stand in our place, and the perfection to bear our sin. Because of the incarnation, we are no longer slaves but sons and daughters—welcomed into God’s family and freed to live in the security of His love.

    When God Came Near | December 14th, 2025

    In Philippians 2:3–11, we saw three building blocks of a Christ-like identity: humble confidence, surrendered security, and selfless service. Because Jesus came for us, we are freed from pride and self-loathing, secure enough to let go of control, and confident enough to serve others. In the incarnation, God came near—not just to save us, but to show us a whole new way to be human.

    When God Came Near | December 7th, 2025

    This Sunday, we began a new sermon series for Advent, reflecting on the stunning truth at the heart of John 1: that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Christmas tells us that God didn’t stay distant or detached—He stepped into the chaos of our world and came near. As we enter Advent, we’re invited to see God’s heart revealed in Christ: the God who draws near, speaks clearly, and loves deeply.
