Quarter 3 - Week 6 - God prepares Israel for deliverance

Title:       God prepares Israel for deliverance
Passage:  Exodus 1—2

BIG IDEA FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS:

REMEMBER THIS BOOK, ALONG WITH THE WHOLE BIBLE, IS ABOUT GOD. 

The main character is God.  The main instrument God's uses throughout the book is Moses.

 

About the book of Exodus:

• marks the end of a period of oppression for Abraham’s descendants (Gen.15:13). It also was the beginning of the fulfillment of GOD'S covenant promise to Abraham—the promise that his descendants not only would reside in the Promised Land, but also would multiply and become a great nation (Gen. 12:1–3, 7).
• instruction about God's sovereignty and majesty, His goodness and holiness, and His grace and mercy. They saw that He was the one and only God of heaven and earth (Ex. 3; 6; 33–34). The account of the exodus and the events that followed also are the subject of other portions of Scripture (Psalm 105:25–45; 106:6–27; Acts 7:17–44; 1 Cor. 10:1–13; Heb. 9:1–6; 11:23–29). 

GOD PREPARES HIS PEOPLE FOR WHAT HE HAS PLANNED FOR THEM:

1. God used the country and land of Egypt to grow His people (Exodus 1:6, 7)
2. God used Pharoah's daughter going down for a bathe at just the right time to find the person God was going to use to save His people. (Exodus 2:5, 6)
