Roots | How Salvation Works -How Close Is God?
The Book of Exodus ends with God’s tent, the Tabernacle, furnished and fully operational. The job of exiting, leaving Egypt, is done. Now it's time to change focus from getting out of slavery to getting into the Promised Land. This is the ultimate road trip because God is on it, and that brings complications too.

- What does it look like for you to ’stay close’ and ’not quit’ these days? Do either of those need to be strengthened?
- Does the phrase “Heaven on earth” resonate with you? Why or why not?
