The God Who Saves (6 of 16)
Series: Exodus

Exodus 12-13
Intro/Attention
*My family and I recently had the opportunity to go out west and see Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Teton National Park. Everywhere you turn you see breathtaking views.

But right there, you could see the Grand Tetons in the distance reflected in the water right in front of you. Stephanie got this picture. It was beautiful.* ***SHOW PICTURE 1***

*In the United States, significant events can result in scheduled holidays. For instance, just this past week we observed Labor Day. Do you know why we celebrate Labor Day? It's became a national holiday in 1894. It's simply a day set aside to pay tribute to the working men and women of our country. So, if you have a job and go to work, we're celebrating you! Of course, there are multiple other holidays that are set aside to commemorate important events: Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day. Just this past year, the federal government added Juneteenth as a n ...
