Unit Two: The Showdown with Pharaoh and Moses

Lesson Objective: To present the highlights of the Exodus

Memory Verse: Exodus 3:20

Lesson Text: Exodus 6:1-8

When God appointed Moses' as the leader to deliver the children of Israel, it was a daunting task. The children of Israel were so overwhelmed and discouraged by the bondage they were in, it was difficult to have confidence in Moses' leadership.

Often in our own walk with God, we lose confidence in God because of our discouragement in our current situation or even leadership! That's why God desires that we always keep our eyes and our confidence in JESUS!

When God sent the plagues upon Egypt, He not only demonstrated His power over Pharaoh and his magicians, but He showed His sovereign power over their gods. Each plague demonstrated God's dominion over one of the gods of Egypt!


COMMENT HERE For Homework Participation

Prayer Commitment: Read I Corinthians 10:1-11. Consider the miraculous deeds performed in this lesson (The Ten Plagues) and determine which would have most easily persuaded You to be a believer if you were living during the time of the Exodus.

Pray each day that you would make up your mind to follow after God's commandments.

Unit Two: The Burning Bush Site

Lesson Objective: To discuss Moses' call from God to deliver Egypt.

Key Verse: Exodus 3:14

Lesson Text: Exodus 3:1-10


From a Prince to a Shepherd

It must have seemed to Moses that his glory days were over. But God was not through with him. The Bible tells us that one day while Moses was tending the sheep of his father-in-law, he saw a strange sight-a bush that was on fire, but not consumed.

God explained who He was and that He planned to use Moses to lead his people out of Egypt. However, Moses's argued with God that no one would listen to him; no one would want to follow him. While he acknowledged that God was the creator of the entire universe, in the same breath he was denying that God could make use of something (or someone) He had created!

Moses missed the whole point. God was not expecting him to have the ability to lead the Hebrews. He only wanted Moses to make himself available.

Prayer Commitment :
Identify "detours" that you may have taken in your walk with God. Pray specifically that YOU get back on track so that God can use YOU in a miraculous way! And don't doubt God's calling just be available to Him!

Unit Two: Moses' Web Page

Lesson Objective: To present the events surrounding Moses' birth and his life as a prince in Egypt .

Lesson Text : Exodus 2:1-10

The land of Egypt had once been a haven for the Israelites. In Egypt, the Hebrews prospered. However, many years after Joseph died, the Egyptians forgot about all that Joseph had done to save Egypt. The Egyptians began to fear that the Hebrews were a threat to their country. As a result, the Hebrews were put in bondage and Egyptians decided to kill all the male infants as a means of controlling the population.

Definition : Genocide -The deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.

God used this very scenario during the life of Moses in order to prepare him for his life's calling.

It was God's sovereign purpose to have Moses lead His chosen people out of Egypt. For Moses, the task would have been impossible, but God prepared him and gave him everything he needed to be successful.

Obstacles that could have prevented Moses from succeding to lead the people out of Egypt:

1) All Hebrew males of Moses' age were being killed
God's Solution: God saved his life by allowing his mother to safely hide him as a child.

2) The Hebrews had no reason to listen to Moses
God's Solution: God made sure that the Egyptian who found him as a baby was royalty. All his life he would be trained in the king's house as a leader.

3) The Egyptian Army could have easily stopped Moses and the unarmed Hebrews.
God's Solution: The power of God lead the Hebrews out of bondage. Moses was divinely used as the leader and "mouthpiece".

Our Commitment: What are your deepest dreams and desires?

Follow these 4 steps to commiting these dreams to God

1) Find God's Will in your dream.
2) Pray for these dreams to come true, or they may never happen
3) Prepare for your dream in your chosen field
4) Be persistent ! God can do mighty things through us that we could never do ourselves.

** And lastly, it's okay to have dreams of greatness, but every dream should pass by God before we become too attached to it.

Unit 2: Special Memory Passage

Hebrews 11:23-26

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Unit One: What's wrong with Evolution?

Lesson two Objective: To present the biblical response to the theory of evolution.

Key Verse: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Hebrews 11:3

Lesson Text: Genesis 1:1-8

Many books have been written on the topic of evolution. The purpose of this lesson is not to provide a thorough overview of the issue, but to present some basic facts regarding evolution is just a theory, not a scientifically proven fact.

Why the Hang up about evolution?

Read the Following scriptures in your Bible and answer these questions:
Psalm 19:1 What are some specific ways the heavens declare the glory of God?
Psalm 104:1-30 How involved is God in His creation?
Psalm 148 How does creation praise God?
Romans 1:20 How does creation leave men "without excuse?"

Ultimately, evolution removes key elements of life, including God, who is the original Designer of the world. The theory removes any purpose that man may have for existing and removes him from have any responsibility to a higher being or to his fellow man.

THE BIBLE IS ONE AWESOME SCIENCE BOOK!

It is interesting that Charles Darwin himself is quoted as admitting that he may have devoted his life to a fantasy when trying to prove his theory of natural selection. Sadly, his false facts have endured long. But the facts in the Word of God will edure forever. Look below at some of the scientific facts recorded in the Bible.


Our Commitment
If we acknowledge God as Creator, then we must acknowledge that we are answerable to Him. This week in focused prayer, consider whether you are living like you truly believe God is Creator or do you live as if you are answerable to no one. Surrender all things unto the Lord!
