A Glimpse of the Great Deliverer

What do you do when you reach a mountaintop? You take a picture. The moment is worth remembering. It’s the same in the story of Moses which stretches from the Old Testament into the New. In this episode, the director of Sight & Sound Theater’s Moses production, Chris Wert, joins David Wollen to talk about how the story of Moses impacts all of us.

When God sent Moses to Pharaoh to deliver the people of Israel, it wasn’t a political battle, but a supernatural one. And there was never any question about the outcome. On this episode, David Wollen is joined by Old Testament Scholar, Dr. Tremper Longman, for a deeper look into the story of the Exodus.

The story of the Exodus sets the pattern for God’s deliverance throughout Scripture, but it becomes most visible when you look at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In this episode, David Wollen continues his discussion with Dr. Tremper Longman looking at Israel’s flight from Egypt and how the Lord delivered them from Pharaoh’s army.

From the Nile River to the burning bush, Moses foreshadows Jesus Christ in many ways. Yet unlike the Great Deliverer, Moses was a sinner who fell short—and that gives us reason for hope. In this episode, David Wollen explores how the story of Moses ultimately points us to Jesus.

The Exodus event is the turning point and, really, the beginning of the nation of Israel. All of this is pointing us to God’s ultimate deliverance through Christ.

The story of Moses is more than history—it’s a picture of the Gospel. In this episode, David Wollen explores how the events of Exodus point to a greater Deliverer and reveal God’s pattern of rescue fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

It all began on a mountain for the greatest Old Testament prophet. And it ended on a mountain. Except, for Moses, the story wasn’t over. There was another mountain ahead. On this episode, New Testament scholar and Bible translator, Dr. Mark Strauss, joins David Wollen for a closer look at the connections between Moses and Jesus.

Why did Jesus appear on that mountaintop in front of his disciples? Why did Jesus identify himself with Moses, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament? These are questions with answers in God’s Word. On this episode, David Wollen is joined again by Dr. Mark Strauss.
