What We Will Learn Today

The Story

Long ago, God’s people (called Israelites) lived in Egypt. The king of Egypt was mean to them and made them work very hard as slaves.

God chose a man named Moses to help His people. Moses went to the king and said, “Let my people go!” But the king said “No!”

God sent ten troubles to Egypt (called plagues). The last one was very serious, so the king finally said, “Go away!”

The Israelites left Egypt quickly. But the king changed his mind and chased them with his army.

When they reached the Red Sea, God did something amazing! He opened the water so the people could walk across on dry ground. When the Egyptian army tried to follow, the water came back and stopped them.

God saved His people! This shows us that God is powerful and He cares for His children.

What We Learned

• God delivers (saves) His people from trouble
• Moses obeyed God and helped the Israelites
• God is more powerful than any king or army
• We should trust God when we have problems
