Once he was old enough, Moses went to live at the palace with the Pharaoh's daughter. One day he saw an Egyptian beating up a Hebrew slave & was so angry that he killed the Egyptian. He knew that he would be in BIG trouble so he ran away into the desert and became a shepherd in a country called Midian.
40 years later... Moses was looking after a flock of sheep when he saw a curious thing - a bush that was on fire but didn't burn up! When he went to investigate, God spoke to him (how cool is that?) and told him to go back to Egypt to tell the Pharaoh to let God's people (The Hebrews) go.
Moses wasn't too sure that God was talking to the right person (he was 80yrs old and not a very good public speaker) but in the end God won the debate (anyone surprised?) by telling Moses that God would be with him and would tell him what to say. So, Moses returned to Egypt.
This Sunday, we find out what happened when Moses returned and what God had in store for his people.
Here are some photos of what the desert in Egypt is really like.
