November 12, 2007

Today we covered chapters 13-15 in Exodus. We discussed the cycle of Faith and Obedience which leads to increased faith as we chronicled the Israelites' departure into the wilderness. We spent time looking at the wavering faith of these people, and then at Moses' response to their concerns as he told them to "Fear not, stand still, watch, and see that the Lord would indeed save them" and then that they crossed through the sea on dry ground. We finished the day discussing some of the merits found in chapter 15, which is a song they sang after crossing the Red Sea. The students found their favorite hymns and shared why they are important to them or special experiences that they've had with a hymn.
Tomorrow we will be covering the second half of chapter 15, and chapters 16-17. We will begin discussing and focus on the murmuring (which actually continues through Numbers). Our scripture mastery for this week is Joshua 1:8 - Meditate.
