September 20 The True Mediator | John 3
Our entrance into God’s family and presence rests entirely and eternally on Jesus’ work, not ours.
At Sinai, Moses went up to God and came down with His word. In John 3, we see that God Himself has come down to us in Jesus, making the way for sinners to be born again and brought into His presence.
Listen to week 3 of our series in the Gospel of John.

September 13 The True Lamb | John 1
God provides the Lamb who bears our sin and brings us into his presence.
In Exodus, God rescued His people from judgment through the blood of a substitute. In John 1, John the Baptist points to Jesus and declares, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” This week, we’ll see how Jesus fulfills the picture of the Passover lamb, bearing our sin and accomplishing a greater rescue that brings us near to God.

God’s presence is perfectly embodied and has been fully revealed in Jesus Christ.

Where God’s presence is valued, His people respond.
As Exodus nears its conclusion, Israel turns from failure and rebellion to willing obedience, generously giving and faithfully building the tabernacle just as God commanded. Exodus 35–40 shows us what a people shaped by God’s presence look like.

August 16 Renewed Covenant, Radiant Presence | Exodus 34
God’s covenant faithfulness, even after our failures, calls for renewed obedience and exclusive worship.
The Lord graciously renews His covenant with His people and reestablishes the relationship by rewriting the tablets, revealing His covenant name and character. Moses’ radiant face testifies that restored relationship with God’s holy presence transforms those who encounter Him, even as His glory must still be mediated.

August 09 When Presence is the Difference | Exodus 33
What matters most is not what God gives us, but that God is with us.
After Israel's sin with the golden calf, God promises to fulfill His covenant, but without His personal presence. Moses recognizes that blessing without God is no blessing at all and boldly pleads for the Lord to remain with His people. God graciously answers by reaffirming His presence and revealing a glimpse of His glory, reminding us that His presence is our greatest privilege, our true distinction, and our deepest need.
