About this episode

Phil Hopgood discusses the challenges of understanding Exodus 21 and encourages believers to wrestle with difficult questions about God's Word.

This sermon was given by Phil Hopgood, who thoughtfully unpacks Exodus 21. Phil reminds us that some of the topics and laws found in the Bible are genuinely challenging and require believers to wrestle with God's heart towards His people. He encourages us not to shy away from difficult questions, reminding us that wrestling with and questioning God's Word is okay. As believers, we are called to consider the historical context and what Jesus teaches about the laws given in the Old Testament. Phil also makes it clear that when these laws seem mysterious or difficult to understand, we should look to God and His character. In doing so, we can find greater clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding of the God we serve.
