Forty long years in the desert - filled with numerous teachable moments. The wandering is over, and God leads a new generation of Israelites into the Promised Land. Can you imagine the hope and anticipation of the Israelites? What about us? Do we live with hope and anticipation? What are we supposed to be learning and doing as we await our promised land?

God delivers the Israelites from the Egyptians. He leads his people, and provides manna and water for them? Are the Israelites satisfied? Thankful? How does God respond to them? How about us? Has much changed today? Text: Numbers 11:1-2; 4-6; 16-23; 31-33 |

The Israelites had been exposed to and influenced by Egyptian religion, values, and culture for more than four centuries. How will God teach them who He is, and how He wants them to live? Two tablets - Ten Commandments. Why all the rules? Do they still apply to us today? What's the big deal if we break a couple of them? Text: Exodus 20:1-20 |

Sometimes God seems to be silent or distant. But he never forgets His people. After 430 years of being in slavery, God frees His people. How does he overcome a powerful, hard-hearted Pharaoh? What is enslaving you? Do you want to be free? Text: Exodus 3:1-10; 6:6-8; 12:31-42 |
