-152 Thessalonians 2:1-8, 13-17Luke 20:27-40In this episode of Redeemer’s Refuge, from the Old Testament reading from Exodus, we hear God call Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. “Who Am I?” is the key question and leads to some of the most profound discoveries in the Old Testament — also, some of the most profound realizations about ourselves.How much like Moses are we?

And we know there is a stack, a stockpile, a slew of other protests we lodge in complaint against God’s calling to us. What Do We Learn About God and About Ourselves When We Start Asking, “Who Am I?”
