In this message, Michael teaches from Exodus 24, presenting the covenant ceremony at Mount Sinai as God’s invitation for His people to step into deeper relationship with Him. The chapter paints a picture of ascending the mountain into God’s holy presence—the fullness of joy—but making that ascent requires obedience. This obedience isn’t about earning God’s love; it’s about moving into alignment with His goodness, shedding the sin and destructive patterns that don’t belong in His kingdom. Just as Israel said “yes” to the covenant, followers of Jesus are invited to ongoing, daily obedience, trusting that God’s commands flow from His heart of love. Communion with God is not just something we wait for after death—it’s available now through Jesus, who shepherds us into healing, freedom, and life.
