Sermon Text:

Exodus 15:1-21

Today we look at one of my favorite texts, the Song of the Sea. This is one of the oldest passages in the Bible and also a Hebrew nerds dream. We look at the structure of the song and some Hebrew poetic devices (though not as many as I would like). Along the way we learn more about the identity of YHWH. We also conclude by learning about grammar - specifically the difference between the perfect and the imperfect. It sounds boring but it actually leads to a really important point about worship and how we live our lives as a community of followers of Christ.
