EXODUS | Don't Make Me Go (2:11-4:20)
EXODUS is not just a book of the Bible. It’s an EVENT. After years in slavery, the people of Israel saw the mighty works of a God who had come to rescue them. Clearly, God would stop at nothing to deliver His beloved people. Join us as we experience the wonders of a time in history called ... the Exodus. // Sundays, 11AM & 5PM

EXODUS REVIEW
- The Hebrews (people of Israel) have been slaves in Egypt for about 400 years.
- Pharaoh (the king of Egypt) made a law to kill every Hebrew baby boy. But Pharaoh’s daughter disobeys the law and saves a Hebrew baby named Moses. (So Moses is a Hebrew, but he is raised as an Egyptian.)

Moses kills an Egyptian and runs away to Midian.

GOD KNOWS
God knows what Moses is really thinking. Moses can't face his past. The excuses he gives are just surface level excuses; the real problem is that Moses can't face his past as a murderer.

THE PAST WON'T LET ME GO
Sound familiar? We all have a past. We all have BIG mess ups and things we've done wrong. And sometimes, these things in our past won't let us go. They keep us from GOING and DOING the things God wants us to do today.
Can you think of something in your past that continues to affect your present?

THE PAST WON'T LET ME GO?
- That's how sin works. That's how the world works. But that's not how God works.
- With God, the past is GONE ... and, finally, we can GO.

WHERE TO GO FROM HERE?
With God, the past is in the past. The old you is gone. Where can you GO and show others the old you is gone? A neighbor? A friend? A spouse? A family member? Share love and forgiveness with them. Show them with your life that, with God, the old you is gone.
