In this session we explore the pivotal moments in the lead up to God's parting of the Red Sea. We will uncover how God's grand plan was at work, proving His power and protection over His people even in their darkest hour.  By examining the Israelites' journey, we will learn to trust in God's guidance through our own seemingly impossible situations and embrace the knowledge that He will see us through. 

Join us as we reflect on Moses' encouragement and how this story serves as a reminder to trust in God's plan, even when it seems impossible.

- Why would God lead the Israelites into seemingly impossible situations? 
- What can we learn from their desperate circumstances and overwhelming fear as they faced Pharaoh's formidable army?
- Should we trust God in scary situations?
- Are there things in life worse than death?

Question 1: What Makes Me Worth Saving?

This is a common question for people that, maybe, have lived a life of hurt or hurting others. We will discuss several topics surrounding this question such as:

- Do we have an accurate view of sin and holiness?
- God is holy and pure ane we are not. 
- However God is very loving and wants to save us. 

Question 2: Will I Be Able to See My Family or Pets in Heaven?

Only way to get to heaven is to have faith in Jesus Christ. The only people that get to heaven are repentent sinners. The most important thing we can do to ensure we see our family is to tell them about Jesus Christ, so that they may believe and have eternal life.

As Israel leaves Egypt, we see God purposely leading them on a longer route. When Pharaoh sees Israel wandering aimlessly and trapped, he makes plans to pursue Israel and annihilate them.  As we read further, we understand God's strategy in dealing with Pharaoh, and all is not what it seems to be. 

•  What does God's leading of Israel tell us?
•  Was the Red Sea really a swamp or marshy area?
• Why did Moses take the bones of Joseph?
• What is the theme of God operating in a cloud?
• Does God lead us aimlessly throughout our lives?

Specific instructions are given regarding who and what the Israelites are to set aside for God. We discuss the different areas of what God wants set aside for Him and why. We discuss the many parallels between this event in Egypt and the events that take place in the New Testament.  In this session we discover how the two eras are tied together. 

- Is the first Passover Lamb a foreshadow of something to come?
- Why was the donkey's first born not set aside for God?
- Why does God repeatedly instruct Israel to get the leaven out?
- Are these events in Exodus tied to events in the New Testament?

The actual pass over event takes place and all the firstborn in Egypt even down to the prisoners in the dungeons are struck by God and die. There was no home in Egypt where someone was not dead. However, where the Israelites lived, there were no deaths in the houses which had put the blood of the sacrificial lamb over their doors. 

Pharaoh calls for Moses and Aaron in the early hours of the day while it was still night and told them to get the Israelites out and away from Egypt. Pharaoh does not try to make any compromises this time, but tells Moses to take everybody, all livestock, and all possessions and leave. Egypt is plundered through the Israelites asking the Egyptians for gold and silver as God had instructed.  

• How was an Israelite's faith that their house would be passed over recognized?
• How was a person's saving faith recognized in this Passover event?
• Is it important to pass down our faith to our children? 
• Did Pharaoh have true repentance?
• Is God fair?

The instructions for the Passover event continues with the description of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  God instructs the observance of these events are to be a permenant ordinance for the Israelites.  We have seen that has been true as Passover has indeed been observed for thousands of years and continues. The instruction to place the blood of the passover lamb over the doorposts and lintel are reinforced in this passage. What is it that this blood protects against? 

We discuss the wrath of God that is coming and how we can be protected from it.  

• Do some people have a one-sided view of God?
• What does the blood on the door protect against?
• Was God just in causing the death of the firstborn of Egypt?
• Will the Church (Christ's Body of Believers) be protected during the Great Tribulation?
• How do we insure protection from Jesus Christ's wrath that is coming?

God gives Israel instructions for choosing a lamb for the Passover.  Only by putting the blood of the lamb on the door would a family protect their firstborn.  God's instructions about the Passover lamb were very specific and foreshadowed Jesus Christ, who is the true Passover lamb.  

• Why did the lamb need to be perfect and unblemished?
• What happens if someone did not put the blood on the door?
• Is faith a work of merit that contributes to our salvation?
• Can we keep one foot in the world and also follow God?

God gives Moses the final instructions for Pharoah. The firstborn will be killed before Pharoah will relent and let Israel go.  God judges Egypt and fulfills a prophecy He made over 500 years earlier, namely that Israel would come out of Egypt with great wealth.  God repays Israel for years of slavery when Egypt gives Israel great wealth then wishing them to go. This session also gives us a chance to deal with the problem of evil and the question of whether God's actions were moral. 

Pharoah's refusal to submit to the God of Israel has destroyed his land, which is a picture of the destruction in our lives when we will not submit to the Lord. 

• Does God have the power to accomplish His will through the free acts of people?
• Is it fair of God to take the lives of all the firstborn people and animals?
• What is God capable of doing?
• What is the significance of taking of Pharoah's firsborn?

The eighth plague on Egypt has begun. Locusts, directed by God, arrive on an east wind for a 24-hour period.  When morning breaks locusts in numbers so heavy that Egypt had never seen, nor would they ever again.  They covered the surface of the whole land of Egypt. The land was so thick with them it was darkened, and the locusts were voracious eaters, destroying anything that was green, plants, trees, fruit, and the crops that survived the previous hailstorm plague. Nothing was spared. 

In a panic, Pharaoh calls for Moses confessing that he had sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. Pleading with Moses to remove the plague, Moses petitions God and on a west wind, shifted by God, the locusts are driven into the Red Sea ending the plague. Afterwards Pharaoh still refuses to let the people go. 

This refusal results in the ninth plague of total darkness over all the land of Egypt, except for the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.  The darkness was so thick, that people didn't go out of there houses or move about the land at all for three days. Pharaoh's strategy this time was to grant the Israelites to leave, but demands they leave their livestock behind. Moses notes that this is not acceptable, so Pharaoh said that the people shall not go. 

The stage is set for the tenth and final plague upon Pharaoh, and all of Egypt. Pharaoh has been given multiple chances, now death will make a personal visit.

• How bad is sin?
• How much does sin eat away at our lives?
• Should our prayers and worship be a show for unbelievers?
• What happens to us when we are in sin?
• Should we ever make compromises in our faith?
