Lesson Content Suggestions Point 1: Moses and aaron went to the great, powerful, and proud pharaoh to speak what God said, "Let MY PEOPLE go."
Point 2: Pharaoh had no respect for God and had no appreciation for what the Lord wanted. He thought himself to be a god. God's will and God's people meant nothing to him; he didn't want the people to leave their burdens. Egypt and His pleasure were all that matterd to the King.
Point 3: Instead of getting better gradually, the situation got worse. Further burdens were added and hurtful conditions were afflicted.
Point 4: The people doubted because they were worse off, had more hurts, greater hardship, less family time, and less time for God's things. Moses doubted and wondered, "WHY?" Notes: God reveals in Exodus 12 that He wanted His people released so that they could: 1) Sacrifice (v. 27), 2) Feast (v.14), and 3) Serve (v. 25). It is clear that salvation starts us on the road to worship, FELLOWSHIP and SERVICE.
