In this episode of the Walking by Faith Podcast, Rev. Mark Hawks of Crossroads Ministries opens the Scriptures to Exodus 19, where the Lord calls Israel unto Himself and prepares them to receive His Word.

Rev. Hawks shares how these truths still speak to believers today—God calls His people to hear His voice, keep His covenant, and walk as those set apart for His glory.

This message encourages listeners to draw near with reverence, to stand firm in obedience, and to remember the privilege of belonging to the Lord.
