1. God calls Moses to Deliver His people
Exodus 3:1-8 1 Now Moses was tending the flock of
Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he
led the flock to the far side of the desert and came
to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of
the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from
within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was
on fire it did not burn up… 4 … God called to him
from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses
said, "Here I am." 5 "Do not come any closer," God
said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you
are standing is holy ground."
1. God calls Moses to Deliver His people
6 Then
he said, "I am the God of your father, the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of
Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was
afraid to look at God. 7 The Lord said, "I have indeed
seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard
them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I
am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have
come down to rescue them from the hand of the
Egyptians…

Exodus 12:12-13 12 "On that same night I will pass
through Egypt and strike down every firstborn--both
men and animals--and I will bring judgment on all the
gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. 13 The blood will be a sign
for you on the houses where you are; and when I see
the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague
will touch you when I strike Egypt.
“… For Christ, our
Passover lamb, has
been sacrificed.”

in confusion, hemmed in by the desert… So the Israelites did this.

can choose to
either ignore it
or learn from it”

written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that by believing you may
