Pastor Roy Helu, Jr. preaches through Exodus 33, where God removes Himself from the presence of Israel due to their sin. Roy uses this chapter to explain an important fact: our sin puts distance between us and God, and restoring that relationship requires prayer and repentance.

Glenn Lawson preaches through the second of the Ten Commandments, and explains how a faulty mental image of God can diminish our worship of Him and our freedom in Him. What do these faulty or counterfeit images look like? Where do they come from, how do they affect us, and, most importantly, how can you be set free from them?
