The Goodness of God (Exodus)
March 22, 2026
Last week we saw Israel's impatience lead to faithlessness. When Moses was up on the mountain for too long, the people made themselves a golden calf to serve as their god. As a result, God gives a warning in 33:1-3: the people may go to the Promised Land, but God will not go with them. Why not? Because if a perfect God were to be in the presence of a sinful people, they would be consumed. At that disastrous word, Moses intercedes on behalf of God's people. As we study his intercession this Sunday, we will see a model for how we can speak to God with our requests.
