    As the book of EXODUS begins, the Israelites are being held as slaves in Egypt. And when the time is ready for God to lead them out of Egypt, He calls a man named Moses to free them. EXODUS is a story of how God protected His people by breaking the chains to captivity they were held under. ...read more

As a preacher, He knew that what people often remember best about a sermon are the illustrations. He understood that ...read more
