The Beginning of Our Story

To set up our semester in Exodus 34:4-7, we start with a high level overview of Genesis 1 through Exodus 33. A sweep through the Bible's story arc: Creation, Rebellion, and God's response, from Adam and Eve's fall through the Flood, Babel, God's covenant promise to Abraham, and Israel's exodus from Egypt under Moses. All the while, we see God as one who wants to be with His people and who responds to their actions. We wrap up at Mount Sinai, where Israel commits to being God's people, breaks that commitment almost immediately, and Moses intercedes on their behalf.
