Patterns of Evidence: Journey to Mt. Sanai 1
Timothy Mahoney
“Patterns of Evidence: Journey to Mount Sinai 1” is the first in a two-part film series by Patterns of Evidence’s award-winning filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney. The Bible records that at Sinai God made a covenant with Moses and the Israelites, and gave them the ten commandments. While the majority of scholars continue to favor locating Mount Sinai at the traditional site of Jebel Musa (the mountain of Moses) in the southern Sinai Peninsula, many believe the lack of evidence there is good reason to question that thinking. Other scholars question whether these events happened at all.
In recent decades, more than a dozen Mount Sinai candidates have been proposed as the correct site. Mahoney uses the trusted Patterns-of-Evidence approach and the new Mount Sinai Scorecard to investigate six of the most popular locations proposed for Mount Sinai. Examining details for five major criteria in the biblical account compared to geographical and archaeological information, he sets out to pin-point the mountain’s true location. Journey to Mount Sinai picks up the exploration of the Exodus where the Red Sea Miracle films left off, with each film in this 2-part series examining three of the primary candidates.
Join Mahoney as he seeks the mountain where Moses encountered the burning bush and where multitudes of Israelites camped for nearly a year. This small group study includes thought-provoking questions that will help you explore key scenes from the film, connect them to the Bible, and see why it matters today.

The Book Acts tells the story of the early church. Unlike works of fiction, this narrative offers a factual, historical account. The Book of Acts chronicles the beginning of the Church and the incredible growth that resulted. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, these early believers took the Gospel to new lands. As God worked through His people then, we are charged with the same task the early believers received, to be a living witness of the gospel to the world.
