Moses Flees Egypt

Central Truth: Even when things look bad, God always makes a way of escape.

Scriptures: Exodus 2:11-25

When pharaoh’s daughter rescued Moses from the river, she raised him as her own son. For the first forty years of his life, Moses lived in the royal palaces of Egypt even though he was aware of his Hebrew origin. One day, Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Moses intervened and killed the Egyptian. Afraid that he would die, he fled Egypt into the desert to the land of Midian.

We had some extra time at the end of our lesson today, so we colored a scripture page for John 14:15: "If you love me you will obey what I command."

There were some smaller children in class today, and they enjoyed coloring and puzzle pages from Moses: the Brave Leader.

Interactive Display

Interactive display of the story of Moses.

To help the story come alive for the children, I put together an interactive display for the story of Moses. Last week we began in Egypt in the land of Goshen (noted with the #1 in a green circle). When Moses fled Egypt, he journeyed to faraway Midian.

On the map,  I showed the children how far Moses ran from Egypt to Midian.

Our second lesson in the Moses series also takes us to the second flap of the life of Moses, reinforcing how Moses fled from Egypt to Midian. While Moses was in Midian, he married Zipporah.

We revealed the second Moses flap. The children are all ready to flip the next one.
