In this Bible study, we wrap up our three-part series looking at Israel’s fall into Idolatry in Exodus 32 followed by a look at Moses’ relationship with the Lord.  God tested Moses by offering to create a new nation through him (Ex 32.10), but Moses selflessly pleaded with the Lord and offered himself as an atonement for their sin (Ex 32.31-32).  In Exodus 33 and 34 we see a back-and-forth convers...
