Take a close look at the Lord’s loving and just nature on this week’s show!

God’s glory is awesome and overwhelming—and yet God is willing to reveal His perfect character to us! In part 2 of our series studying the moment when God showed Moses His glory, we look at three more biblical figures who, in very different circumstances, understood the Lord’s glorious character: David, Jeremiah, and Jonah. They knew and recorded in Scripture that He is merciful, gracious, patient, loving, faithful, just, and forgiving. Our glorious God is worthy of all our worship!
