This article on the story of Moses came about from a question emailed to me. In the email, they asked to give the basic facts from the great life of Moses in the Bible.

In my opinion, this man probably has the most dramatic and powerful story in all of the Old Testament.

I believe that he and King David were two of the greatest heroes that God had in the Old Testament. Their stories are dramatic and extremely powerful, and there is much to learn from both of their stories.

I will go ahead and give you the basics of this man’s story in God, and then end this article with some of the things that we can all learn from his story and how each of these things can be applied in our own personal journeys with the Lord.

As you read the highlights of Moses story, just sit back, relax, and use your imagination to visualize all of the events in this man’s incredible journey with God.

When it is all said and done, the story of Moses will go down as one of the greatest God-stories of all time!
