This is where Moses receives the Ten Commandments and other instructions, all of which he passes on to God’s people. But this year-long period of preparation and equipping isn’t just one in which God’s people receive His word, important as that is. This is a time when they encounter God Himself.
At Mount Sinai God reveals His holy and loving character to Moses and His people and invites them to learn how to approach him in worship and adoration. It is not just a time of learning information about God, it is a time of growing in intimacy with God. After all, God made us for relationship with Himself. It is the reason we exist.
The portion of Scripture we’ll be looking at begins with God descending to the top of Mount Sinai and then inviting Moses up to meet him:
“The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up.” Exodus 19.20
Studying the story of Moses and the Israelites at the mountain as told in Exodus 19 through 34, we’ll be following God’s people into deeper intimacy with God. In each message we’ll explore a different aspect of God’s invitation to draw nearer to Him as well as how He desires us to respond.
Are you ready to grow closer to God? To deepen your worship life? To live with a larger view of God? To grow in intimacy with Him?
This series is about all the wonders, joys, and challenges that come with saying yes to God’s invitation to draw near to Him. Join us as we follow Moses up the path into deeper intimacy with God.
