Makers Ekklesia Dance Presents: Burn
God set His plan of deliverance into motion from the moment a bush burned without being consumed. In the quiet wilderness, He called an unlikely shepherd, Moses, and chose him for a divine purpose: to confront Pharaoh and lead His people out of slavery in Egypt. Through powerful signs and miracles, God revealed His unmatched authority, from the protection of Passover to the parting of the Red Sea. This timeless story is one of calling, faith, and redemption, showing how God chooses the humble and faithfully delivers His people according to His promise.
