Description

Sermon Notes

1) God Delivers Us to Draw Us (Exodus 19:4; Exodus 7:16 ; Ezekiel 48:35 NKJV)

  • God didn’t just bring Israel out of Egypt—He brought them to Himself.


  • Salvation isn’t just leaving bondage; it’s entering relationship.


  • Application: Don’t confuse being saved from sin with being close to God.


  • Key verse: “...the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE.” (Ezekiel 48:35 NKJV)


2) Covenant Before Conquest (Exodus 19:5–6; 1 Peter 2:9–10)

  • Before Israel faced giants, God gave them covenant.


  • God calls us His “special treasure” and a kingdom of priests.


  • Application: Faith must be personal, not delegated.


3) Presence that is Personal (Exodus 19:16 –19; Exodus 20:18 –21)

  • God’s presence shook the mountain and invited intimacy.


  • Israel stood afar off, but Moses drew near.


  • Application: Don’t delegate intimacy with God to someone else—He wants you close.


4) Encounter Over Expedience

  • God paused Israel at Sinai to encounter Him before entering the land.


  • Illustration: The long road with your son—more than a destination, it’s about the journey.


Application: Don’t despise delays; they’re invitations to deeper encounter.
