The Presence Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 18, 2022

God hid Moses in the cleft of the rock and covered him there with his hand. Moses sees only the afterglow which God leaves behind him, but still, this suggests faintly what the full brilliance of His presence is.

Do you have too many irons in the fire? The expression too many irons in the fire originated from the blacksmithing trade. If a blacksmith had multiple irons in the fire at once, it cooled the fire and none of the pieces of iron would get hot enough. If the blacksmith had one iron in the fire it ...read more

Looking Upon The Lord’s Face Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 4, 2022

We will see God face to face, because we have already passed from this life to the next, and when we are able to see God’s face, we will be, by the grace of Christ crucified, perfectly holy.

Looking upon the Lord’s Face One of the Biblical understandings that the modern man cannot seem to process is the notion that to look upon the Lord’s face means death to the human who does the looking. The patriarch Jacob, as Genesis 32 records, wrestled all night with God and then marveled that ...read more

The Journey

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 5, 2022

Pastor Dennis looks at God’s promised presence and rest to the children of Israel on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, and how that same presence and rest of God accompanies us on our journey through the wilderness of this world filled with desolation, trials, difficulties and an enemy.

The Journey Exodus 33:14 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtPCqEgRAZo As Michaela and I were away the other week, I began to meditate upon this Scripture and the journey we are upon as God’s people. It’s a journey that leads us away from the bondage of the world and towards the promises ...read more

Get A Glimpse

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022

In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His presence. His experience with God was special, and yet it’s the same experience which God desires to have with every one of us.

Illustration: Is there someone, maybe a loved one or a close friend, who you enjoy spending time with? When it comes to that special person, talking on the phone is good, or doing Facetime, but nothing beats being with them in their presence. In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His ...read more

Stable, Secure And Supportive – That Is God Our Rock, Forever Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 22, 2022

We have a great treasure. Christ is our ROCK in every storm of life. We look at some scriptures about God being our Rock, and our Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ is our shelter, stability, security, shade, support, and solace. Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

STABLE, SECURE AND SUPPORTIVE – THAT IS GOD OUR ROCK, FOREVER DID YOU HAVE A ROCK? Years ago there used to be this fad – pet rocks. How many remember this craze?

Hard Questions, Simple Answers

Contributed by Robby And Donna Flint on Feb 8, 2023

Jesus responds to the Pharisees and Herodians, God responds to Moses. In both situations, God provided simple answers to what could have been hard questions.

A Place Of Favor With God (Exodus 33:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2023

After the golden calf, the future between God and Israel is murky, and unsettled. Into that, enter Moses, a man who has God's favor, and who God knows by name, and who has a close relationship with God.

Today, I want to read through three separate, but related, episodes in Exodus. Each of these three, by themselves, would make a great devotional, or sermon. There's something in each of them that is worth stopping, and just thinking about. But when we combine them, like I think we are ...read more

Can You Truly Know An Invisible God? (Exodus 33:18-23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 19, 2023

Moses doesn't know God, the way God knows him, because God hasn't fully revealed himself. And so he asks to see God's glory, to fix that. But what is God's glory?

Last week, we left off in the middle of our story. We pushed right up against arguably the most famous, well-known verses in all of Exodus. And I just wanted to stop before I got to them, and give them the time they deserve. At the same time, this is a really complicated passage. I could ...read more

Show Me Your Glory

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

When God chooses to open up the flood gates and rain down His showers of blessing, we usually don’t realize it until after we are completely drenched. This message brings encouragement to those who are facing trials and difficulties.

This morning’s message is entitled, “Show Me Your Glory,” and I want us to look at God’s blessings today. I want to open by having us consider how the Lord’s blessings are similar to a jet aircraft flying at supersonic or near-sonic speeds. Did you ever hear a jet fly overhead and you looked ...read more

Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

We cannot please everyone but we need only to please God, our Creator. In this message, we will learn three desires that Moses had that win the approval of God. Our goal is that we will also gain God's approval for everything we do.

MOSES, THE MAN THAT PLEASED GOD SCRIPTURE READING: Exodus 33:14-20 14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are ...read more
