Episode 55 The Eagle's Eye Podcast - 'In the cleft of the Rock'
I was recently inspired by the Scriptures in I Kings chapters 17, 18 and 19. I’m sure we all know of the story of Moses in Exodus 33, when he climbed Mount Sinai (also known as Mount Horeb, the Mountain of God – 1 Kings 19:8). Another Scripture every Christian must know is from I Kings 19:11-12,...
