This week we'll look at chapters 11-12. We'll be looking at something that we don't mind talking about but we really don't like to practice. This is something that some of us even teach our kids to do.

He grew up as royalty but understood his identity as a Hebrew. After running away to avoid getting caught for murder (which was protecting a Hebrew), God provides Moses purpose that redirects him back to the royal family-to set God's people free.
When Moses returns, he is faced with rejection. Pharaoh was not willing to let God's people free. By Pharaoh resisting Moses' ...
