Send a text This episode provides a picture of the kind of support 4Heroes wants to offer the public safety community. In Exodus 17, the Israelites enter into their first battle. Moses raises his hands in a posture of prayer, and as long as he keeps his arms lifted, God's people are victorious. The problem is, he got tired.. but two men came alongside him to help Moses. They held his arms and...

Send a text In Exodus 14, God makes a way when there is no way. Pharaoh's army is closing in and God's people arrive at the Red Sea.

Send a text Chaplain Frank Mercer continues our study in the Book of Exodus. God releases plagues on the Egyptians and their nation is in shambles after boils, hail, locusts, and darkness destroy everything that's left. 9 plagues have come and gone. When you look closely, these are expressions of love... God is pouring out his wrath to dismantle their trust in Egyptian gods and draw them to H...

Send a text Chaplain Frank Mercer continues his study in the book of Exodus. Even though God is orchestrating plagues that make Egypt unbearable, it is truly an act of mercy. Have you ever considered that God shows tender mercy, but also severe mercy? Pharaoh's hard heart and constant disobedience requires God to take action. The plagues are terrible, but they are also opportunities for Phara...

The good news is, God is bigger than every...
