Come Follow Me for Teens: Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord (Exodus 14–18)
“Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord”
Exodus 14–18 is one of the most powerful stretches in the Old Testament because it shows what the Lord does when His people feel trapped, weary, bitter, and unsure of what comes next. At the Red Sea, He teaches them to stand still in faith. At Marah, He reveals His power to heal what is bitter. And through manna in the wilderness, He teaches them to trust Him one day at a time.
This week’s episode is a reminder that the Lord still fights for His people, heals wounded hearts, and gives daily bread for the journey. When life feels impossible, bitter, or uncertain, He can still make a way.
This study and teaching guide is designed to help parents and leaders confidently teach teens the Come Follow Me lesson for Exodus 7–13, exploring the powerful events of the plagues and Passover and the life-changing principles they teach about softening our hearts, trusting God’s power, and remembering Him daily.
Inside this guide, everything is already prepared for you—so you can focus on teaching instead of trying to figure out what to say.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through the lesson as you help teens understand how the Lord delivered the children of Israel, how repeated choices shape our spiritual lives, and how these events point us to Jesus Christ as the true source of deliverance from spiritual bondage.
