Are You Arguing With God? (2 of 4)
Series: Courageous

Exodus 3-4
How many in this room remember the name Paul Harvey? Remember Paul Harvey? Paul Harvey was a very, very famous radio announcer. He had a unique voice and he would come on and tell you to stay tuned for news. And you always just could pick out his voice.
