#1 Have you watched this week’s lesson?

Yes

No

Surely we don’t need to check do we?!

#2 Moses had run away from Egypt and his life in Pharaoh’s palace. What did Moses do for the next 40 years?

He kept travelling so the Egyptians could not find him.

He looked after his father-in-law’s sheep.

He became a prince in another country.

Moses settled into a very quiet and humble life looking after his father-in-law’s sheep.

#3 One day when Moses was in the desert looking after the sheep, he saw an amazing sight. What was it?

He saw a sheep caught in a bush.

He saw his wife arriving with his lunch.

He saw a burning bush, but it wasn’t destroyed by the fire

He got the first surprise of the day when he saw the bush on fire, but it wasn’t turning black or getting burned up.

#4 When Moses stopped to go and investigate the burning bush, he heard a voice calling his name. Whose voice was it?

The voice of God.

His father-in-law.

Pharaoh.

This was the second great surprise of the day: to hear the voice of God calling his name!

#5 What does the fact that God could talk to Moses from the burning bush tell us?

That God is alive – He is eternal .

That God sees all things and knows all things.

That God has power over everything in this world.

All of the above.

Although we can’t see God or hear His voice as Moses did, He is still a living God. He sees everything we do and knows our every thought, and He speaks through His word, the Bible.

#6 When Moses approached the burning bush, God stopped him and told him to take off his shoes. Why?

As a sign of reverence (deep respect) to the all-powerful God

Because Moses' shoes were very dirty and it was a reminder that he was sinful

Because Moses needed to be reminded that God is holy.

To make Moses humble and obedient.

All of the above.

The Bible helps us to understand how holy God is. The Bible helps our consciences to work and understand that we are all sinful, and we need to be humble and repent of our sins.

#7 What did God tell Moses?

That Moses had been very sinful and needed to be punished.

That God had a plan to save the Israelites from slavery and take them to a wonderful land.

That He was very pleased with Moses because he was such a good shepherd.

God loves His people and doesn’t want them to suffer. He set out a plan to stop the suffering of the Israelites and lead them to the Promised Land.

#8 What does God’s plan for the Israelites tells us about our own lives?

God has a plan to save all his people from sin, even though we don’t deserve it, and to take us to Heaven.

That if we go to Egypt, God will bring us home.

That if we are very good, God will reward us.

We can never earn our own freedom from sin or make ourselves good enough for Heaven, but God has always had a plan to save us, by sending the Lord Jesus to take our punishment.

#9 Moses doubted that anyone would listen to him or follow him, because he didn’t know what to say and nobody would believe God had spoken to him. Why was Moses wrong?

Because Moses was cleverer than he thought and could persuade people easily.

Because Moses had been brought up as Pharaoh’s grandson and so would be able to talk to Pharaoh as a member of the family.

Because it was God’s power that would enable Moses to do things he could never do on his own.

God has power over everything. He created everything, including us. We can ask God to help us when we pray to Him and he can help us to have His power over sins in our lives.
