Stephen Dawson continues our Story preaching series (going through Exodus) looking at the theme of Presence.

Joel Virgo continues our Story preaching series (going through Exodus) looking at the theme of Worship.

Matt Carvel continues our Story preaching series (going through Exodus) looking at the theme of Identity. At the Red Sea, God was dealing with the Israelites’ past.

God established this ‘line in the sand’ so they could walk into their new identity of children of God (not ashamed children of slavery).
