Freedom from Egypt

I have been asked to teach the Gospel Doctrine Sunday School Lesson on March 28th (Dad's birthday) in our ward. The topic is the whole story of Moses, including the Exodus. Seems like a lot to teach in one lesson. I think I should prepare a few handouts with facts, then try to draw out a few key issues for discussion. It has everything to do with freedom. I was greatly impressed by "The Prince of Egypt" when it was first produced and its emphasis on free agency and the Lord's plan for Moses. The children of Israel were in bondage and yearned to be free - praying for the Lord send them a deliverer. So are we in bondage? From whence will our deliverer come? I think a few questions might spur discussion.
1. Moses was an innocent baby when he was set afloat. Was he a victim of his circumstance? Do we sometimes feel victimized by the circumstances into which we are cast?
2. Moses was on the path to becoming very powerful in the Egyptian ruling class, until he found out that he was a Hebrew. What are we on our way to becoming? Have we found out who we really are? Do we know how the Lord would use us?
3. Why did it take so many miracles for Pharoah to release the Israelites? Why couldn't it be done in a single miracle and get it over with? What is the impact of miracles on our lives? What has the Lord done to deliver us?
4. Why did the children of Israel have such little faith once they had left Egypt? Did they have unrealistic expectations? What did they want? Why was it so difficult for them to obey? What obstacles keep us from moving forward with faith? What are the obstacles you face that keep you from moving forward.
5. What was the purpose for the Ten Commandments? How would you categorize or summarize them? How would things have been different without the commandments? Do you feel like there are specific commandments for you? Are there rules in the gospel that provide strength for you?
6. Describe the ways the Lord dealt with Moses. In what ways did He strengthen him? How did Moses' experiences affect him? How is the Lord dealing with you?
7. What are the similarities in the story of the exodus and the life of the Savior? How does the Gospel of Jesus Christ make one free?
8. Where is the promised land for you? How long will you take to get there?

Well thats a start. I'm sure other things will come to me in the coming week.
