A few notes:
1. All Scriptures are taken from the New International Version
2. The Smyth and Helwys Exodus Commentary by William Johnstone is the source of exegetical content in this series.
3. Feel free to customize the message for your audience. Since these sermons are heavier on commentary, there is no need to attribute the content.
