Exodus 21:33-22:15: Laws about Property Rights and Restitution

The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 21:33-22:15.  In this section, God’s laws and statutes now involve the issue of property rights and restitution. It shows that God is not only concerned about the spiritual welfare of his people, but how they deal with one another. These verses are also important for demonstrating that while all things are from God, having possessions and the concept of private property is not foreign to the Bible.  It’s the true story of God reaching down into history and, through an unlikely prophet, redeeming his chosen people from slavery. It’s the story of Exodus, but it’s also the story of us all. How through Christ, God has liberated us from sin, death, and the Devil. Don’t miss this chapter-by-chapter study of the Book of Exodus on Thy Strong Word.
