Exodus: The Song of the New Life

A Sermon Based on Exodus 15:19-21

Exodus speeds by much like our lives do: fast. It does so until, finally, it halts for a moment when the people are standing on a new shore of life. It then turns from a rush of narrative and prose into a whole chapter of poetry. Why is that? Why does Miriam sing? This sermon asserts that the parting of the Red Sea is a type that anticipates Christian baptism. Miriam sings, then, because God’s people need to understand everything this new life means. What does it mean? This sermon sings to you the answer.
