As we start a new series about Moses and the role he played in God's plan to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, we look at a bit of history. How did the Jewish people end up in Egypt in the first place? What did the Egyptians think of them from the beginning? And what promises did God make to their forefathers about bringing the Jewish people back to the Promised Land someday? During this series, we will learn some new things about Moses as we follow him from his tenuous birth, to the burning bush, across the parted sea, and o the top of Mt. Sinai.
