Keeping Covenant
Robert Dawson
Leviticus 26:14-16
At the beginning of this week, knowing a new year was upon us and that we were finishing out the first decade in the new millennium, I was praying and thinking how I could challenge you this upcoming year as a church and a believer.

The only culture, religion and lifestyle they knew were thoroughly Egyptian in flavor.
For all practical purposes they were a people with no culture or identity of their own. All they knew about creation and history is what they heard in Egypt. For many of them the stories of their fathers and the promise to an ancient ancest ...
