Fire on the Mountain (Ray Vander Laan)
Study of a Book of the Bible: Exodus
This six-session small group Bible study, Fire on the Mountain, by noted teacher and historian, Ray Vander Laan, is volume nine of the 16-part That the World May Know series.
In 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.
That the World May Know is a unique video series that brings God's Word to life with astounding relevance. By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geographical contexts, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan reveals unique insights into the Scriptures' significance for modern believers.
