Where do we find our satisfaction? In this message, Pastor Joey looks at Exodus 33 and this pivotal moment for Israel following their catastrophic sin of idolatry. God communicates to Moses that Israel will move forward to the Promised Land.... but without His near and personal Presence with them. At first thought, the idea of the Promised Land is inviting. It sure beats this wilderness! But without God's Presence, the Promised Land isn't as sweet. The people reflect and come to the conclusion that their relationship with God is their IDENTITY! As a result, there is a cry for grace. Identity is a hot word today. Where do we find identity? Relationships? Career? Sexuality? Social Causes? Our identity is to be found IN CHRIST! It's His Presence that makes us distinct in this life AND in the next! Message preached on Sunday, August 13th at part fourteen of the "Big Ten Sermon Series".
