Sunday's Sermon, September 4, 2016

Pastor Mackenzie Smith

Exodus 34:1-8Exodus 34:1 (v) Adonai said to Moshe, “Cut yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones; and I will inscribe on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready by morning; in the morning you are to ascend Mount Sinai and present yourself to me on the top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come up with you, and no one is to be seen anywhere on the mountain; don’t even let the flocks or herds feed in front of this mountain.” 4 Moshe cut two stone tablets like the first. Then he got up early in the morning and, with the two stone tablets in his hands, ascended Mount Sinai, as Adonai had ordered him to do.

5 Adonai descended in the cloud, stood with him there and pronounced the name of Adonai. 6 Adonai passed before him and proclaimed: “YUD-HEH-VAV-HEH!!! Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [Adonai] is God, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace and truth; 7 showing grace to the thousandth generation, forgiving offenses, crimes and sins; yet not exonerating the guilty, but causing the negative effects of the parents’ offenses to be experienced by their children and grandchildren, and even by the third and fourth generations.” 8 At once Moshe bowed his head to the ground, prostrated himself

Kingdom Culture
Wednesday Nights this Fall | Starting September 14

Join Pastor Tara Beth Leach on Wednesday nights this fall as she leads PazNaz through her curriculum Kingdom Culture: The Sermon on the Mount. This series begins September 14 at 6:30 pm in Lee Chapel. You can purchase a workbook for $5 from HeBrews on the patio this Sunday.
The Sermon on the Mount is nestled into the Bible's grand narrative and gives the reader a glimpse of what it looks like to live in the already-but-not-yet Kingdom of God. The words of Jesus are piercing, and push the people of God to live the Kingdom life. After studying the Sermon on the Mount, you will discover that Jesus is the ultimate authority for the life of the disciple, and as the people of God, the invitation is to embody the culture of God's Kingdom.
Regular Wednesday evening programming will also be available for children, students, and those with special needs. Contact Melody Bundy with questions at626.351.2425.
