The Life of Moses

So, its a new year and we are continuing with our studies.

This week we are looking at the life of Moses. He is one of the most famous and exciting parts of the Bible.

And because of its emphasis on liberation, this saga has given inspiration to oppressed people - expecially those trapped by the evil of slavery - for centruies. The lif of Moses has come to symbolise the humane quest for freedom.

But there is more to the life of Moses thaan what we see in the movies as you will discover this week. For the first 40 years of his life Moses was part of the rich and famous in Egypt. Then he blew it all losing his temper and spent the next 40 years in "nowheresland" living with his in-laws tending sheep.

He had an encounter with God (Ex 3:1-4:17) and that changed everything... for the last 40 years of his life Moses was a man on a mission - staring down the Pharoah, unleashing plagues, parting the red seam receiving the Commandments and leading the chosen people to the brink of the promised land.
