The Exodus Begins!
We are moving along nicely on our study of Moses and the Exodus. Up to now, they have reached the point in the story where Moses returns to Egypt after hearing from God in the burning bush. This coming week will find us learning about the many ways used to try to convince the Pharoah to let the Israelites leave. From a magical rod to frogs to flies to darkness, convincing the Pharoah was a losing proposition.
Upcoming weeks will find us studying the Passover, and we will be making matzoh in our kitchen. That day is scheduled for October 29, and we will take the kids downstairs at the beginning of church in order to have time to measure, mix and cook.
We are excited to be sharing this study with congregation. As with any of the books of the Bible, the closer we study it, the more we understand. The Exodus is an integral part of the “story,” and by working through it, we are putting together a puzzle that will end only when the Israelites find the Promised Land!
