Sunday School
This week the kids learned that God delivered His people.
Summary
- Moses and Aaron told Pharoah to let the Israelites go free, but Pharaoh refused.
- God sent plagues to judge Egypt.
- God spared Israel from the tenth plague because they spread the blood of spotless lambs on their doorposts.
- All the firstborn sons in Egypt died, so Pharaoh sent the Israelites away.
Christ connection
By His grace, God spared the Israelites from judgment by requiring the blood of a lamb. Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. His death was the ultimate sacrifice, and those who trust in Jesus are under His saving blood and will be passed over in the final judgment.
Key Passage
God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Big picture question
Does God keep His promises? Yes, God always keeps His promises because He is faithful.

Sunday School
This week the kids learned about about when God called Moses.
Summary
- The Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians.
- Pharaoh ordered the Israelites’ baby sons to be killed, but God protected Moses.
- Moses fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian for beating an Israelite.
- God called Moses to lead his people to freedom.
Christ connection
God saved Moses’ life and called him to rescue God’s people from slavery. The calling of Moses points to a greater calling and rescue–the call of Jesus to come to earth to save God’s people. Jesus gave up His life to save us from slavery to sin.
