Welcome
Last time we met, we discussed God being trinitarian and we learned that He is relational.
Relationships matter to God because of the relationship He has with himself via the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and Himself.
We also read and discovered this through John 17. Hope you were filled up reading that passage.
So tonight we’re gonna close up, as best we can, the topic of who God is and Pastor Matt is gonna open it up for us next Sunday talking about Jesus from Hebrews 1.
Tonight…
Is going to be very simple.
As stated last time we met, the Bible says a whole lot about who and what God is.
It’s very overwhelming and there’s no way we could possibly define all of Him into about 20-30 minutes.
So here’s the game plan.
I’ve found the most central thing about God that is the most consistent throughout all of Scripture and we’re gonna hammer that out until it is easy for us to enjoy.
It’s like this...
Right now we’re holding a thawed out NY Strip steak.
Looks great
Cooks great
It’s ain’t ready to eat! Except for some of you who can eat meat rare.
Let’s get the grill going, season it, cook it, and devour it!
This is gonna be a good time!
So let’s go...
**Article Regarding “Sloth”**
The Problem/Correlation: The abundance of God’s mercy on Israel created a slothful heart that didn’t worship.
Abundance of social media/information has created a slothful heart that doesn’t worship.
Who is this God and why should I know Him?
Our passage tonight...
In the Exodus tonight...
EXODUS
What happened?
Who is involved?
Genesis 1:8 - Joseph?
Who was that?
God raised up Moses.
Heard the cry of Israel.
10 Plagues.
Crossed the Red Sea!
Exodus begins
God provides water & food.
Guides them by pillar fire at night and cloud by day.
A unique scene.
When Moses calls Moses up to Sinai.

TEXT AIN’T REVEALING US TO DWELL ON THESE TOPICS
Truth from the Text: God affirming His promise.
What glory! (Dwelling)
Remember - Lightning, thunder, loud horn, smoke, and earthquake.
How can this God dwell with us?
Let alone, be known?
Good question.
We must understand the words described of God.
Merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love/faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin...
By no means will clear the guilty, visiting iniquity of the fathers on teh children and the children’s children, to third and the fourth generation...
Your hearts should “burn within you,” at the sound of these words.
Here’s how we understand today’s passage.
Ben Trueblood in his book, Student Ministry that Matters, wrote on a chapter called Character Transformation and the Word.
In this chapter he wrote -
“Student ministry in large part has been content to spoon feed Scripture and application of that Scripture to students rather than teach them how to study the Bible for themselves.
In an effort to help students understand the Bible and see that it can apply to life today, we have turned it into a roadmap for their lives.
When the Bible becomes just a roadmap, ora list of rules, it becomes dull and boring.
Students begin to see it as just one of the many textbooks or opinions that float in and out of their lives.
When we do this, we’re focusing on formation, cookie-cutter type students and christians.
THAT’S NOT AT ALL HOW GOD MADE YOU OR US…instead we should be fixed on transformation.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says
Trueblood goes onto say…Students are going to be staring at something (like the phones we talked about earlier) and there are plenty of things for y’all to stare at/into.”
MacArthur Picture Quote Here*
Guys I’m praying we stare into this God who scared the mess out of the Israelites on Mount Sinai and revealed himself.
He can be known....We can be transformed.... Fix your hearts on Jesus Christ.
