We often think of Moses as the great deliver, the great emancipator. He, too, was the great law giver. Deliverance from fear, bondage and slavery was obviously a life-changing trajectory for the nation of Israel. But, on the other side of their freedom, a nation without laws, really isn’t a nation free. A nation without laws is a nation still in bondage, enslaved to chaos, and immersed in anarchy. As Pastor Jeffrey begins to unpack the 10 Commandments, we see that the law was necessary for God’s people if they were to ever become a truly free nation.

There are very many reasons as to why so very many people have chosen to make Donelson First their home over the past 112 years. Take a listen as Pastor Jeffrey answers the question, “Why Donelson First?”, by sharing the impact being made through the light on the hill in Music City.

In part 25 of From Fear to Freedom, Pastor Jeffrey continues to unpack the requirements God demands on the part of His people and principles that align with them as we consider our own life journey.

Before God spends a significant amount of time, 40 days and nights, alone with Moses on the Mountain, God outlines specific requirements His people are to follow. What is fascinating about these requirements is just how very relevant these truths are for our lives today!

In Part 23 of From Fear to Freedom, we see, in God’s perfect timing of this story, a touching moment occurs for Moses. God sends Moses the gift of his family’s presence and is given three challenges in a heartwarming exchange from his father in law, Jethro, as it relates to priorities.

In week 22 of From Fear to Freedom, Pastor Jeffrey teaches us that the Lord is not taking these people on such a journey of testing for His knowledge. He is doing so that these people will arrive at the knowledge that it is the Lord who has brought them out of the land of Egypt and into a land of green pastures, and lush waters, and fruitful soil.

In this week's time of study, we see God’s hand of provision, just as the nation of Israel had watched all that God did to bring them out of Egyptian captivity and into a free life on the other side of the Reed Sea. Yet, with every step forward, new perplexities and challenges emerge.

No longer living under the brutal 430 year captivity of the Pharaoh and the nation of Egypt, God establishes His expectations for the nation of Israel from moment one.
