Lead the way - Week 3
In the jungle, every day is an unpredictable adventure! But to safely navigate the vines, animals, and tricky terrain, we’ll need a guide to help lead us. This four-week series follows the life of Moses and his journey to leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Through his story, our families discover how God teaches us how to lead, and learn how to follow God’s lead as God leads us to safety, and to what we need.
BIG IDEA: God leads us to safety.

DISCIPLE:
Read or paraphrase Exodus 13:17-15:21.
Next, lay blue construction paper over a large portion of a room in your house. Place brown pillow cushions or construction paper one step away from each other. Your family will need to step and jump only on the brown steps and not in the water to get to safety. The game is complete when all family members have crossed to the other side.
Say: .Let’s pretend we are stuck in the middle of the jungle and have come across a pretty big cliff with water under it. We need to get to the other side, and this is the only way to safety.
In our story today, God’s people were stuck in a scary situation. Pharaoh’s army was chasing them from the back, and there was the huge Red Sea in the front. But God made a way through the water to keep the people safe.God leads us to safety.
Pray: God, thank you for leading the way. When we are scared or lost, you always lead us to safety. Amen
