Chapter Five - "I Will Live Among Them"

October 27, 2019

We begin on Mt. Sinai where God thunders on the mountain and the people shrink back in fear. No one can approach God’s terrible power and the radiance of His glory, except for Moses, who was chosen to receive the words God sends to His people. But on the mountain God calls His people a “kingdom of priests” and a “holy nation” and gives instructions to Moses to build a structure where, God says, “I will dwell among them.” However, it does not take long for the people to turn away from God’s ways. But following this story again sets up a pattern of sin, forgiveness and worship that is still part of the fabric of our story, today.
