We have finished the book of Genesis and now start November with the book of Exodus. Jacob and his family were in Egypt for 400 years, growing into a great multitude just as God had promised Abraham. But they were no longer in the Promised Land, and because the Pharoah who had appointed Joseph his second-in-command had died, they had been forced into slave labor by the new Pharoah.
Moses survives the efforts of Pharoah to kill the Hebrew baby boys with the help of his mother and sister Miriam. Adopted by Pharoah’s daughter and brought up in the Pharoah’s palace, he tries to help his fellow Hebrews and winds up killing an Egyptian. He flees to the desert of Midian, where he marries and raises a family and tends his father-in-law’s sheep.
The stage is set for God to put His plan in motion. God speaks to Moses from a burning bush on Mount Sinai, and instructs him to return to Egypt and lead the Hebrews out of slavery into the Promised Land. That’s where our story will pick up this Sunday. It’s an exciting action story—you won’t want to miss it. Bring a friend to enjoy the action with you.
Tom and Sydney Cook
