God Called Moses

God saved Moses’ life and called him to rescue God’s people from slavery. The calling of Moses points to a greater calling and rescue—the call of Jesus to come to earth to save God’s people. Jesus gave up His life to save us from slavery to sin.

HOW TO GUIDE

• Why did Moses have to take off his sandals?

• Why do you think God calls Himself I AM WHO I AM?

• Do you ever make excuses to avoid following God’s instructions?

Mornings
Ask God to help you to be obedient to whatever He calls you to do. Why could Moses trust God and obey the mission He gave him? How can we trust God when He calls us to be a part of His mission?

Evenings
Thank God for loving us enough to speak to us. Ask God for help to listen when He speaks through His Word, through other believers, and through the Holy Spirit. How does God’s Word call us to be a part of His mission?

For Fun...

1. If weather and local ordinances permit, make a campfire to sit around with your family. Discuss the miraculous nature of a flaming bush that doesn’t burn up. Review the other signs God gave Moses to prove His power to the Israelites who were enslaved.

2. Challenge a family member to attempt walking through the house blindfolded. While he walks, ask another family member to use her voice to guide the blindfolded family member through the house. Let every family member take a turn in each role. After the activity, discuss how God called Moses and promised to be with him wherever he went.

To Serve...

1. Volunteer to rake leaves for neighbors or church members who are unable to do the work themselves. As your family serves together, discuss how God used Moses to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Remind kids that helping others do what they cannot do for themselves is a great reminder of how Jesus came to rescue us from sin—something we could never do for ourselves.
