GOD REVEALS
These lessons trace God’s emerging relationship with Israel. The first three lessons approach the theme through the biblical stories of Moses: God calls Moses, God discloses the terms of the covenant, and the people lose faith in Moses’ leadership (and God’s). In Lesson 4, God forgives Israel, and they vow to keep their covenant promises.
