Hope Sabbath School

We begin this quarter by looking at how Joshua was prepared and chosen by God to lead Israel into the promised land. We will also discuss the link between obedience and the assurance of success, as well as the theme of being "strong and courageous".

The building of the Tabernacle from the supply of the materials, skill, and detailed design was to convey an important message to Israel through God's end-time people. In this lesson we will take a closer look at that message.

This lesson highlights the Tent of Meeting as a special meeting place for Moses and God. What can we learn about seeking a closer relationship with God? We will also look at the second giving of the Ten Commandments. What can we learn about the compassion and patience of God?

This week we will dive into the story of the golden calf. How did Moses respond to such apostasy? What consequences did Israel face in spite of Moses's intercession for them?

The covenant with Israel was executed in blood and confirmed through the tabernacle and sacrificial system. What is the relationship between the covenant and obedience? This lesson will look at the sacrificial system and how it is a blueprint for the Gospel.

The law given to Moses when well beyond the Ten Commandments. This week we will look at why this was necessary and the way that Jesus challenged us to go beyond the letter of the law.

In this lesson we will delve into the significance of Sinai, and the preparations necessary for meeting the Lord there. We will also explore God's dramatic appearance, and the gift of the Ten Commandments.

This week we will explore how God provided for his people in the desert--water from a rock, and bread from heaven. And yet, they still complained. How do these miracles point to Jesus? What important advice did Moses get from his father-in-law?

Did Pharaoh repent or simply regret his choices? How did the Lord demonstrate to Israel that things impossible for us are possible with God? This lesson will answer these questions and look at how we can stand in faith in spite of impossible odds.

This lesson will look closely at the final plague, and the detailed instructions that God gave Israel for the Passover. What can we learn from Israel's experience and the judgment of Egypt?

This week's lesson will explore the link between the plagues and the false gods of Egypt. We will also answer the question, "Who hardened Pharaoh's heart?"

We know that Satan stands in opposition to God's plans. How did Pharaoh allow himself to be used as the Devil's instrument? What was God's response to the oppression? What assurance did God offer Israel of deliverance? What does he offer us?
