Genesis 1-3, Moses 2-3, Abraham 4-5 -- Part 2 : Dr. Joshua M. Sears

Dr. Sears returns and teaches how God's naming pattern helps identify a creation's purpose and how God can organize and create meaning out of chaos, and how that applies to our individual lives and trials. You will come to understand the Creation, the grand vision of Moses 1, and God's love in powerful new ways in this episode.
