Exodus
By Brian Wildsmith The story of the Exodus and the rescue of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt is one of the most exciting stories in the Bible. And, in Wildsmith's hands, this familiar journey comes alive against stunning backdrops - from the great palaces of ancient Egypt, to the vast expanses of the Sinai's mountains and wilderness, to the peaceful place God's people can finally call home. For ages 5 and up.
The Children of Israel left Egypt in a hurry, but it took 40 years for them to reach the Promised Land. They spent a lot of time wandering, but they never wondered about quizzles! Quizzles? What are quizzles? Quizzles are more than just quizzes! Quizzles are more that just puzzles! Quizzles are fun books that challenge the whole family to test their biblical knowledge at
quizzes, puzzles, word games, brainteasers, crosswords, word seeks, and so much more! Each Quizzles book has a different biblical theme and is full of quizzles that families will enjoy! Recommended for ages 12 and up.
Very affordable.
God Sends Plagues on Egypt
To Remember: God will not tolerate rebellion Vocabulary
Plague: a widespread disaster
Lesson - Exodus 7-12
Discussion Points:
Egypt's pharaohs claimed to become gods and were
worshipped. God proves through the plagues that He is the only god, and the
pharaoh was powerless to protect his people.
For older students: Josh McDowell in "Evidence that
Demands a Verdict" gives many evidences for the miraculousness of the
plagues, their timing and their scope.
What does it mean when it says the God hardened
pharaoh's heart? Does this contradict free will? There are many verses that
indicate that man can harden his own heart. How does that happen? It is like
the searing of the conscience (1 Tim 4:2). Man who constantly and willfully
rejects truth as it is presented to him builds a wall in his heart that
grows thicker and thicker with each rejection. He is the hardened soil of
the parable of the sower. Eventually nothing
can get through. In contrast, the man who responds to the truth with
obedience and repentance has a tender heart. He allows the truth to change
him. This is the good soil. The difference between the two men is not the
truth that God presents to them, but their response - which is their choice.
There is little evidence that pharaoh ever had any tenderness of heart
toward the truth or toward God. It is not hard to believe that he would
reject the miracles before him - so did the Hebrew rulers in Jesus' day,
when God's son himself was raising the dead. In fact, the Israelites
themselves soon forget God's power and reject him in the next few months.
Did God need to harden pharaoh's heart directly? Or was the simply contest
for control over Egypt enough for pharaoh to build a wall in his heart
against God?
Craft: Fold up a strip of paper
accordion-style and sketch a basic frog shape on the top sheet, letting the
legs extend to the fold of the paper. Have the kids cut out the frog shape -
making sure that the legs connect at the folds. Then have the kids unfold
their chain of frogs. Discuss how suddenly there were frogs everywhere! Activity: Go to
http://www.sundayschoollessons.com/plague.htm and print the page. Cut out
the images for each plague, and cut out the phrase that goes with it. Have the

ten squares. Mark each square as a plague. Have the students repeat each plague
as they hop through it. True or
