Moses - God's Fellow Worker Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 11, 2012

Moses was a worker for God. Hebrews 11 shows how he gave up pleasures and the palaces of Egypt for the pain and pressure of leadership. He was looking for a reward. Can we do that in Christ?

God worked six days creating everything, then God rested on the seventh day setting up a divine pattern for a work week for us. When God made man ...read more

Missing The Forest For The Trees Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 26, 2012
