What actually happened at Sinai? It's often remembered as the place where Moses delivers the Ten Commandments to the Israelites, but there's so much more going on. Sinai is where the Israelites encounter God in all his glory and he calls them his "treasured possession." Without this important context, we misunderstand the law. Come and find out why Sinai still matters for Christians today.
