Cultivating Growth

Our guest to wrap up this month's discussion is Allen Greeley who preaches for the Plainfield Church of Christ.

In Exodus 7-10 Moses goes to Pharaoh and asks for God's people to be released. He refuses, making mention that he does not know this God that Moses is talking about. So, in the next few chapters, God, through His infinite power, introduces Himself to Pharaoh. Plagues 1-9 take place and decimate the land and Pharaoh receives his introduction.  Questions for us?

In Exodus 3-4 God calls Moses to be the leader of His people and go to Pharaoh and demand that he let God's people go. This was a monumental task that Moses has initial concerns about. In this episode we talk about those concerns and how God helps Moses to deal with each of them.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!
