True Crimes—Bible Edition: Moses

Moses murders an Egyptian and then flees—that's a pretty straightforward story we learn early on in the Bible, right?

Well, maybe it's not so cut and dried. Dr. Bruce Becker looks at the argument that it wasn't murder as he unpacks both perspectives: Did Moses or didn't Moses commit murder? In this journey, we see how wide the spectrum is in the Hebrew language for the words meaning "to kill" or "to beat." We also learn how the New Testament gives us additional insight into Moses' actions and thought processes. And, most important, we get two takeaways for God's will in our lives today.

About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker": 

The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy. 

Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools.
