Part 1: Moses and Aaron Confront Pharaoh

Exodus 5-6

Moses and Aaron, chosen by God to help His people, went to Egypt with an important message for Pharaoh. They asked the mighty ruler to let the Israelites go. But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he refused to let the Israelites leave. Instead, he made their work even harder, causing more suffering.

Part 2: The Ten Plagues

Exodus 7-11

To show Pharaoh His power and authority, God sent a series of ten plagues upon Egypt. The great Nile River turned to blood, the land was filled with frogs, and the air swarmed with gnats and flies. As the plagues continued, Egypt's animals got sick, people had painful sores, and a terrible hailstorm darkened the skies.The people of Egypt were afraid as the plagues made their lives difficult. But God protected the Israelites, and their homes were safe from the plagues. Even so, Pharaoh's heart didn't change, and he still refused to let the Israelites go.

Part 3: The Passover

Exodus 12:1-14

God planned one last plague – something that would affect every firstborn child in Egypt. To keep the Israelites safe, God told them about the Passover. This special time would remind them of how God protected them, just like Jesus would later protect us all.Each Israelite family had to choose a perfect lamb and care for it. They marked their doorposts with a special sign, so God would know to protect their homes from the last plague. The families gathered together, sharing a special meal and getting ready for the big events that were coming.

Part 4: The Tenth Plague and Pharaoh's Surrender

Exodus 12:29-32

At midnight, the final plague happened, and there was sadness in the land of Egypt as the firstborn children were affected. But the Israelite homes, marked with the special sign, were safe. Pharaoh, feeling the pain of this terrible event, finally agreed and told Moses to take the Israelites and leave Egypt. With their freedom at last, the Israelites quickly prepared for their journey, starting an amazing adventure that would lead them to a special land.The story of the Plagues of Egypt teaches us about God's power and the importance of trusting in His plan, even when things seem really hard. The Passover is a reminder of how God takes care of us, just like Jesus does, offering hope and protection to everyone.
