Deliverance: At a High Cost

During this series of sermons, we will have the opportunity to reflect on the nature of Israel's God who promises deliverance to the captives and then keeps promising to preserve them in the Exodus from slavery to freedom.  What's the relevance for these ancient, core narratives for the church today?  Today we see that the slaves whom God has chosen to be a great people will be delivered, but the deliverance that is worked for the slaves is costly.  The bonds of evil and oppression are not so easily broken.
