Ep 72. Exodus 1: Slaves in Egypt, Sons of Promise

Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonate... We kick off our Exodus series in chapter 1: Israel multiplies in Egypt, a “new king” turns favor into oppression, and the Hebrews build store cities (not pyramids). We trace how Moses’ story points forward to Jesus (John 5:46–47; Luke 24:27) and dig into on-the-ground evidence from Pithom/Avaris—grain silos, infant burials, and why “store cities” fit the New Kingdom war machine. We meet Shiphrah and Puah, weigh the ethics of lying under tyranny, and watch Pharaoh’s Nile decree boomerang through biblical irony. Through it all, we explore true freedom: everyone serves a master—so why not the One who actually sets you free? Like, comment, and subscribe to follow the whole Exodus journey!
