like, but that's where we find the riches of the wisdom of our Guide and Friend,
the Lord Jesus. He knows which way to go. He walked with each of these men and
He walks with each of us today. All we need to do is surrender and follow. That
is what this class invites you to do. Come along on this journey of following
God with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and so many more. You'll learn much more about
these men and you'll find they may not be all that different from you. But most
of all, you'll see the Lord in new ways. Prayerfully, this will lead to the joy

God.
