The theme of the 2004 Lectures will be "Studies in Exodus." A wide
variety of material will be covered by outstanding Gospel preachers from all
parts of the nation. The aim of this lecture series is to provide fundamental,
sound Biblical teaching to edify all who attend and those who will have access
to the audio and video tapes and the book of the lectures. Another major aim is
to help combat and expose religious error both within and without the church.
