The book of Exodus tells the exciting true story of how the LORD saved His people from slavery in Egypt, then gave them His law and dwelt with them in the tabernacle. In this overview sermon of the entire book of Exodus Pastor David examines the major themes of the book as as well as the basic plot of the narrative.

Exodus 6:6–7 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

We have so many reasons to thank the Lord, yet we get focused on other things and forget about all the blessings we have received from Him. In the sermon Pastor David encourages us to always remember the Gospel and never forget to thank the Lord for it.

Psalm 103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,

3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,

4who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel.8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.9 He will not always chide, nor will He keep His anger forever.10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him;12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.13 As a father shows compassion to His children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear Him.14 For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.15 As for man, His days are like grass; He flourishes like a flower of the field;16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children,18 to those who keep His covenant and remember to do His commandments.19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.20 Bless the LORD, O you His angels, you mighty ones who do His word, obeying the voice of His word!21 Bless the LORD, all His hosts, His ministers, who do His will!22 Bless the LORD, all His works, in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

Praying a Prayer like this is like asking for a psych eval and an autopsy at the same time. It reminds a person that there is one who knows both the entirety of our physical being as well as our soul. Not only does God know them but has crafted them personally.

In psalm 139 we see David praising God for His Omni-status - God's Omniscience, His Omnipresence and Omnipotence. We see David's praise of His creative purpose and His thoughts of care toward His creation. Finally, we see David's response of loyalty and trust.
