Exodus 32: The Golden Idol: From Doubt to Apostasy

The Rev. William Orr, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in St. Ann, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 32. The people felt as though Moses was taking a long time to come down from Mount Sinai. What was YHWH saying to him? Had he even survived his encounter with the God who brought the plagues upon the Egyptians? Would he ever return? Their doubts led them to apostasy, and, in an act of great shame and sin, they created for themselves an idol and credited it with their redemption from slavery. 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.
