(Get the Student version here !) In the jungle, every day is an unpredictable adventure! But to safely navigate the vines, animals, and tricky terrain, we'll need a guide to help lead us. This four-week series follows the life of Moses and his journey to leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Through his story, we'll discover how God teaches us how to lead , and learn how to follow God's lead as God leads us to safety and to what we need. BIG IDEAS & BIBLE STORIES God teaches us how to lead. (God Calls Moses: Exodus 2-3:15; Romans 12:9-21) We follow God's lead. (The Plagues and Passover: Exodus 7:14-10:29, 12:1-14; 1 Peter 1:13-21) God leads us to safety. (The Israelites Escape Egypt: Exodus 13:17-15:21; Psalm 91) God will lead us to what we need. (The Israelites in the Wilderness: Exodus 15:22-25, 16:1-16; Isaiah 41:17-20) WEEKLY CURRICULUM SUMMARIES: This week, kids see how God called Moses to lead and rescue the Israelites. The jungle is full of surprises and, sometimes, so is God's plan! This week, God speaks to Moses through a burning bush and calls him to do something huge-help rescue the Israelites from Egypt. Moses didn't feel ready, but God showed him how to lead one step at a time. When we listen and learn, God teaches us how to lead. This week, kids see how God protected the Israelites during the ten plagues and the Passover. Sometimes the path gets wild-like frogs falling from the sky or rivers turning to blood! This week, God sent ten plagues to show Pharaoh that it was time to let the Israelites go, and God protected the people who followed the plan. Even in chaos, when we trust where God is going, we follow God's lead. This week, kids see how God helped Moses lead the Israelites out of Egypt and through the Red Sea. Some adventures feel like there's no way out-but God always makes a way. This week, it looks like the Israelites are trapped. But Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt, and God parts the Red Sea so they can escape safely. Even when things look impossible, God leads us to safety. This week, kids see how God provided food and water for the Israelites in the wilderness. Wandering in the wilderness is no joke-no snacks, no water, and tired feet! This week, the Israelites were hungry and unsure if they'd have what they needed to keep going. But God gave them clean water and bread from the sky. No matter how big or small our needs are, God will lead us to what we need. MEMORY VERSE: "Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths." Psalm 25:4 (NIV)
