Social Justice & Christianity (Part Two) | Exodus Supplement

Listen


Some parts of Scripture require more explaining than others. As we journey through the second-half of Exodus, we’re coming up on a few chapters that fall into that category!

In Exodus 21-23, we see a couple of hot-button issues: rules about slavery and laws concerning social justice. In 2021, both of these things deserve a fair and honest treatment - a treatment that better fits into a podcast format than a traditional Sunday sermon. That’s why we’re recording a few episodes to help address the passage-specific and cover-to-cover questions that so many people have about these giant topics.

We hope these episodes help bring clarity to the text before we preach through them - or whenever you happen to be listening!
