Over the last month as we watched the Washington Nationals' postseason run unfold, there are clear moments that stand out as pivotal, crucial to the storyline as it developed. This Sunday we come to one of those pivotal, crucial moments in the storyline of the Bible - Israel at Mount Sinai.

I can't wait to open this transcendent text with you and see together how it sets the course for the rest of redemptive history in the biblical storyline.
