#92 - Grace before the Way of Life (Ex. 19-24)

In today’s episode we dive into a very important part of the book of Exodus: the arrival at Mt. Sinai, the giving of the Law, and the confirmation of the covenant. We highly recommend listening to this episode along with the interview that released this past Thursday with Dr. Carmen Imes about the law and the command to not bear God’s name in vain.

 

In our ninth episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 19-24:

• Arrival at Mt. Sinai
• Focusing on some of the most important verses in the Bible (19:4-6)
