 Unit 4 Session 1

GOD SHARES HIS NAME

eXODUS 1-4

God heard the cries of His people in distress and responded by raising up Moses, the one He would send to provide deliverance.

Through Joseph's influence, God's people initially lived in Egypt as honored

guests. But a new Pharaoh came to power who did not remember Joseph.

As a result, God's people suffered under brutal oppression in Egypt for

generations. But the covenant-keeping God heard their cries and prepared

to demonstrate His power on their behalf. He would do so through an unlikely

messenger - a Hebrew man named Moses, Egypt's fallen prince, who was

grinding out his existence in obscurity, shepherding on the backside of

nowhere.

Points to consider:

✞   God reveals His holiness to His servant.

     * Why is it important that we learn about God's

        holiness from His special revelation?

✞   God reveals His identity to His servant.

     * What did God's name have to do with the

        plight of His people in Egypt?

✞   God reveals His power to His servant.

     * How have you seen God's sovereign power

        on display?

     * Why do we need God's power through Jesus

        to save us from our sin?
