Exodus 6 – Down in the deeps
The Israelites, even Moses, were thoroughly dispirited. God acts to save them anyway. What can we hang on to when it feels that God has let us down? (Neville Reid, 7 April 2019)

For the above sermon you may also want to see the chart of the plagues of Egypt.
Exodus 12 – Slaughter and Salvation
The last plague was different, a horrific judgment from God. There was only one way to escape it: to share in the Lord's Passover meal. We understand now that Christ is our Passover. Jesus himself talked about us having to eat his flesh – we must be that closely connected to him. (Erik Pattison, Easter Day, 21 April 2019.)

Exodus 12:14–20 – Strange food for a special party
Unleavened bread is an odd choice for the Passover festival. Yet God insisted on it, with severe sanctions. What did it mean to Israel, and what does it mean for us? (Erik Pattison, 28 April 2019. Includes a longer Q&A time than usual.)
