God had delivered His people out of bondage in Egypt. In this session, we will see another act of God’s grace that was easy for the Israelites to miss and easy for us to miss today as well: the giving of the law. The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt, following their masters and their masters’ laws. But now they were free, and the people needed to know how to live as a people to bring God glory and get along with one another. This was God’s intention with the law, evidenced in the Ten Commandments. In this session, we will see God’s purpose for giving the law and our inability to keep the law, even a single commandment. But we will also see that God had a different plan—a better plan—for our obedience. 

Despite God’s deliverance and provision, the people of God continued to struggle with turning from their fears to trusting in God. As a result, they repeatedly grumbled to Moses and God. In this session, we will see that they not only had issues with their leader and their God, they also disputed with one another. Up to this point in their journey, Moses had been the sole judge for all of the people. But when Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, met with Moses, he gave the overwhelmed leader some much-needed wisdom and proved himself to be a wise leader in blessing the people of God. 

God had delivered His people out of slavery in Egypt through His powerful works. But in this session, we will see that the people forgot what they had seen, they lost sight of God’s power, and they doubted and grumbled when they became hungry in the wilderness. We will see that we are not much different from the people of Israel: We too are prone to forget the promises of God; we are prone to wander from the Lord, even when He has proven Himself to be good and faithful. We will learn of God’s great faithfulness despite our faithlessness and why He allows His children to go through trials and tribulations.

In this session, we will look on as Moses confronts Pharaoh as part of God’s mission to deliver the people of Israel from Egyptian bondage. In Pharaoh’s response to Moses, we will learn that we have more in common with him than we might care to admit: We too are prone to question the character and authority of God. We will also look at the ten plagues of Egypt, from God turning water into blood to the death of the firstborn sons in the land. We will see that these plagues were not only about God’s judgment but also about God proving Himself to be the one true God, and only His ways lead to life. Finally, we will see in the Passover the goodness of God revealed in a surprising way: through the shedding of blood.
