In this lesson, we look at Exodus 2-4 and how God raises up Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. In our study, we notice that Moses’ expected method of deliverance does not turn out to be God’s method.

In this lesson, we examine how God sovereignly chose and sovereignly provided for Jacob. We also examine Jacob’s vision of a heavenly staircase and how that vision connects with Jesus Christ.
In this Sunday school lesson, we investigate the account of Abraham’s servant acquiring Rebekah as a wife for Isaac in Genesis 24.
