Lessons from the Life of Moses

Picking up where we left off with Joseph, we fastforward along with the Biblical narrative through hundreds of years, up to the rise of a new and oppressive Pharaoh in Egypt who fears and hates the Israelite people. Moses rises to promience in this age of Egyptian violence and power and becomes God’s instrument of deliverence for the children of Israel. Yet Moses’ life is full of close calls - it’s almost all over before it even begins. As Moses grows, his own desicions nearly end his life and opporunity to deliver God’s people, but God’s plan always accounts for our folly and even our sin does not disquality us for participating in God’s kingdom. Let’s see how Moses comes through these close calls and becomes the man God meant him to be.
