Living Youth On-Line Bible Study
On December 18th, we’ll begin in Exodus 4, and move through Exodus 10. This was an exciting, but challenging time for Moses and the children of Israel. We read about God working directly with Moses. Moses appears as a very “real” person, with imperfections just like all of us. We’ll see what happens when he travels back to Egypt to confront Pharaoh…and to begin to work with the children of Israel. We’ll review the 10 plagues, and their significance for the Egyptians – and the Israelites.
