Today we take a look at the epic ending that Moses places onto his epic book, Exodus. What does he show us there? The glory! What makes it hard for us to keep seeing it? What assures us that it is always with us? The Glory in Exodus promises through this Word to lead us all the way to glory.

What is the Lord’s most amazing feat? The wonder that is more wonderful than the plagues? The miracles that are more improbably than the parting of the Red Sea? What is it that puts Moses’ jaw on the ground and ours too? This Reformation Sunday sermon reveals that the Lord characteristically forgives!

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” He would have been more right if he would’ve said, “This life is a journey.” The point remains, though, that we are all in this life on a journey. What makes the journey worthwhile, good, and ok? This sermon maintains that the special, saving presence of the Lord is what does that. The very presence we need, however, is the presence we cannot have. Why is that and how does the Lord deal with that?

Why do we leave places? Sometimes we leave to leave. We simply want to escape. Other times we leave to get somewhere. Of those two options, which was the Exodus about? Was it about getting away from Pharaoh? No, it was never about that. It was always about meeting with God. Our lives, too, are heading to that great time of meeting God. How are we to meet him? This sermon explores what this Scripture teaches.
The burden of this sermon is to communicate nothing less than the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is, of course, true for every sermon, but it is especially true of this sermon. The account here is the program of salvation that God unleashes, finally, in his great Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. The evidence of that is how often this account is referenced in the rest of the Bible. What do we learn about salvation here? This sermon answers that critical question.
Today we meet the God of the bush. He comes to a person and a people who thought that after 400 years, things may not ever change. His descent into the bush in his burning love and holiness shows that, despite appearances, God has heard and seen all their bitterness and pain. What does that mean for this moment? And does that bush still burn? This sermon claims that it does in the person of Jesus Christ.
