In today’s episode, we’re explore the dramatic beginnings of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt.
We start with a nation in crisis. The Israelites, once honoured in Egypt, are now enslaved under a cruel Pharaoh who fears their growing numbers. In the midst of oppression, a miraculous rescue unfolds—the birth of Moses, hidden in a basket and placed in the Nile, only to be discovered and raised in Pharaoh’s own palace.
But Moses’ journey doesn’t end with royal privilege. After fleeing Egypt, he encounters God in the wilderness, in the awe-inspiring moment of the burning bush. Here, Moses is given a calling that will change history: to return to Egypt and lead his people to freedom. Yet, doubts plague him. “Who am I to do this?” he wonders. But God assures him, “I will be with you.”
