January 24, 2010 – Amber Alert, God’s Version
When you think of God, what character traits come to mind? How do you picture God? This week’s scripture gives us a picture of God as he related to the children of Israel who were enslaved in Egypt.

January 17, 2010 – How to Have Faith: The Story of Exodus
