Join us this week as we explore Lesson 7: Moses Receives the Ten Commandments. Experience the awe of God's love as He delivers His rules amidst thunder and lightning on Mount Sinai. Our aim is to help children understand that God's commandments guide us in love. Additionally, we are preparing for two lessons next week (Lessons 8 and 9) and invite men to study the book of James at First Presbyterian Church. Let's unite in our spiritual journey while addressing opposition and embracing God's protection as we continue to build together, trusting in His promises.
