The Parent Weekly for October 31st (God Cares for Me) (Part 2)
What we learned today
Big Idea: God is Mighty (part 2)
Exodus 14v13–15v21 In an effort to gain control, the king of Egypt enslaved God’s people. The people cried out to God for rescue. He sent Moses to lead the people out of Egypt. When the Israelites reached the Red Sea there was no place to go. God is mighty. He sent a great wind to part the Red Sea. When the sea parted, the people were able to cross safely through on the dry seabed.
Where we’re headed next time
Big Idea: God Cares for Me (Part 2)
Exodus 16; Numbers 11v7–9. After leaving Egypt, the Israelites had a long road ahead of them. The people started complaining early in the journey. God heard their grumbling and told Moses He would send food from heaven. He also gave special instructions about taking only enough food for each day. When the people woke up the ground was covered in manna. God cares for His people.
Did you know?
The Israelites had never seen manna before; “manna” literally means “What is it?.”
On the sixth day of the week, the Israelites could gather enough for two days because God wanted them to rest on the Sabbath.
