    Meeting God: The Glory of God at Mt. Sinai

    Do you ever find yourself forgetting God when you're angry, or tired or content? We are often quick to forget what is not right in front of our eyes. In this episode, the Israelites see the power and majesty of their God at Mt Sinai, but are still so quick to forget him. They have a great mediator to help them in Moses, but ultimately they need a better mediator. Amazingly, we discover that Christians already have an even greater experience of God than the Israelites ever did. Join Dave as he explores the amazing story of Exodus 19-40, when God came down to meet with his people. Find out more about Dave and the show at faithfulgod.net.

    Lessons from the Desert: Trusting a Faithful God

    How do you respond when things seem desperate? In this episode, we return to the book of Exodus to follow the Israelites after their escape from Exodus. You would think that, with everything they have seen from God, trusting him would be easy. When things get tough, though, there is a lot more fear than faith. It seems that, despite everything, they still do not really know their God. God has not given up, though. He still shows amazing grace, saves his people again and again, and even reveals himself to someone quite unexpected. Join Dave as he explores Exodus 15-18, and enjoy knowing the true and living God.
