Exodus 2

Last week we completed Exodus 1 (which was MOST of the first lesson in our study guide - available at the Second Baptist bookstore now for less than $6). This Sunday, we will work to get through the second chapter of Exodus. Chapter gave us a feel for the context of the coming Exodus. The oppression and enslavement of the Israelites. The providential protection offered by God. The fulfillment of God's promises to Abram from early in Genesis.

It is in that setting that we begin following the life of Moses in Exodus 2. We will begin with the arrival of the child who one day would be God's chosen leader to deliver His people from bondage.As we follow Moses as an adult, we learn that God will use three unlikely methods to prepare Moses for the divine assignment that awaits him. God will utilize:

• A formal education from the most advanced civilization of the day;
• Moses' own personal failures; and
• An extended period of solitude and humble service.

God Bless,
