Called by Name

This week's lesson will explore the link between the plagues and the false gods of Egypt. We will also answer the question, "Who hardened Pharaoh's heart?"

We know that Satan stands in opposition to God's plans. How did Pharaoh allow himself to be used as the Devil's instrument? What was God's response to the oppression? What assurance did God offer Israel of deliverance? What does he offer us?

What was the Lord's goal with the supernatural encounter in the desert? What does this story reveal about God's character and the name "I AM"? This week's lesson will also address the excuses that we, like Moses, often use fo avoid God's plans to deliver us.

As we begin a new quarter studying stories of deliverance in the book of Exodus, we will start by reviewing how the children of Israel came to be in Egypt. We will also take a closer look at Moses's family and Pharaoh’s household.
