Roots: How Salvation Works - Why Is Life So Hard?
This Sunday we begin a new teaching series called “Roots” based on the book of Exodus. You can’t fully understand the life, death and resurrection of Jesus without studying Exodus. Chapter 1 lays the foundation of a people in desperate need of rescue.

- Two women (v.17) chose not to obey Pharaoh but fear God instead. What does “Fear of the LORD” mean?
- What stories in Exodus mirror the life and death of Jesus?
