The first big idea is that God rescues us. The story of Exodus begins with the people of Israel groaning because of their slavery in Egypt. According to Exodus 2:23, they were crying for rescue and God heard their prayers. This teaching will encourage people that God hears and knows of the things that enslave us and bring us pain. And he has rescued us through his Son Jesus, first from the slavery of our sin and death, and then through every trial and temptation we experience in our journey of faith.
