Lesson: The Burning Bush
Bible Passage: Exodus 3
Elementary Focus Verses: Revelation 22:13, Psalm 90:2; John 3:16; 1 John 5:13
Summary: God’s people were slaves in Egypt and were treated harshly. They called out for God to rescue them. Moses was tending sheep and saw a bush on fire, but it wasn’t burning up. God instructed Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that the Israelite people be released. When Moses asked who to say sent him, the Lord responded with, “I AM who I AM.” God has always existed and always will. Eventually, the people were freed from slavery in Egypt, just like God said.
Memory Verse: Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Lesson: The Wilderness
Bible Passage: Exodus 13:1-17:6
Elementary Focus Verses: Philippians 4:19, Matthew 6:25–27, James 1:17, Nehemiah 9:21
Summary: God freed the Israelites from Egypt. They traveled toward the land God had promised Abraham
long ago. God provided for their needs over and over. He appeared as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide them. When the Egyptians chased them, He split the Red Sea so they could safely cross. God provided quail and manna from heaven when they were hungry, and they struck a rock to produce water when they were thirsty.
