That The World May Know
The Whisper of God—Moses and Elijah on the Mountain of God
Volume 9 | Episode 6

The ancient land of Israel is a testimony, an evidence if you will, of the greatness of what God did in that country, a testimony to the truth of the words that we find in the pages of the Bible.

Volume 9 of the Faith Lessons series Fire on the Mountain: Filmed on-location at Marah, Elim, Wilderness of Sin, Rephidim, and the Red Sea, Vander Laan discusses how the Israelites were finally free when they left Egypt: free from persecution, free from oppression, and free to worship their God. But with that freedom comes a new challenge—learning how to live together the way God intends. Discover how God teaches the Israelites what it means to be part of a community that loves him and what that means for us today.

Episode 6 | The Whisper of God—Moses and Elijah on the Mountain of God: Come, explore the lives of Moses and Elijah as they came to the mountain of God. Through them, we not only recognize the Creator of the universe as He revealed Himself to and through them, but we can better understand Jesus the Messiah and the ways by which He revealed the very nature of God through His own ministry and person.
