Kevin DeYoung on Exodus 1-15

Not many of us will spend 59 weeks teaching through the book of Exodus, but from August 2015 through June 2017, that’s what Kevin DeYoung did, making him the perfect person to talk about how to teach the book of Exodus. I interviewed DeYoung immediately after he was named the new pastor of Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, North Carolina, as well as an assistant professor of systematic theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte. This meant DeYoung’s final sermon on Exodus was also his final sermon as pastor of University Reformed Church in Lansing, Michigan.

In this two-part conversation, DeYoung offers insights into how to deal with challenges like the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, as well as opportunities like the theophanies, the tabernacle, and the golden calf.

Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’

Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.

In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.

TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
