In a world of constant change, God's unchanging nature provides the anchor our souls desperately need. When God revealed Himself to Moses as "I AM WHO I AM," He declared His eternal, unchanging essence. Unlike human relationships where feelings fluctuate, God doesn't change the rules mid-game or alter His mind about His love for you. His mercy, grace, and promises remain constant regardless of your performance or circumstances. This immutability means you can trust Him completely with your past, present, and future, finding security in His unchanging character rather than the shifting sands of cultural opinion or personal emotions.

God told Moses from the burning bush that He was "I AM WHO I AM." John goes to great lengths in his gospel to show that Jesus came in the flesh to explain or declare God to us - that in fact He was this "I AM." In a conversation with some Jews, Jesus said "before Abraham was I AM." They knew what he meant and picked up stones to stone Him. Never doubt that Jesus was God become flesh.
Icebreaker What is a moment in your life when you felt small in a good way—like you were standing before something bigger than you? When you think about Lent, what emotions or expectations come up for you personally? Reflecting on our Need for God Where do you notice “wilderness spaces” in your life right now—places that feel uncertain, dry, or unresolved? Our world is full of noise and hurry. What do you think makes it difficult today for people to experience awe or stillness? When life feels overwhelming or insufficient, what are the things we tend to reach for first to feel grounded or secure? Scripture In Exodus 3:1–6, Moses encounters the burning bush during an ordinary day in the wilderness. What stands out to you about the way God chooses to meet Moses, and what might that suggest about how God meets us today? In Exodus 3:13–15, God reveals His name as “I AM WHO I AM.” What do you think it means that God introduces Himself with a name of presence rather than a simple description? How do you experience this posture from God in your own life? In John 8:54–58, Jesus says, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Why do you think this statement at the end of chapter 8 felt so shocking to the people listening, and what does it reveal about who Jesus is? What is Jesus trying to get them, and us, to understand about himself? In John 18:3–6, when Jesus says “I AM,” the soldiers draw back and fall to the ground. What does this moment show you about Jesus' authority and willingness as He goes toward the cross? Live It Out This week, brainstorm a list of people you regularly interact with (neighbors, coworkers, classmates, friends). Pray through that list and ask God for one name—one person you could intentionally walk with this Lent. Close in Prayer Prayer prompt for us as individuals Lord, help us to recognize Your presence this Lent. Teach us to stand on holy ground, to listen, and to trust that You are near. Outward prayer prompt for the world around us Jesus, the great I AM, draw near to those in wilderness places—those who feel alone, afraid, distracted, or hurting. Let Your light and life meet them through Your people.
Send a textA jail cell, a relentless skeptic, and a borrowed Bible set the stage for a story that crashes headlong into a burning bush. We sit down with apologist and pastor Anthony Rogers to unpack how Exodus 3 reframes everything: God's name is not a label but a claim on reality. When the Lord says I Am Who I Am, he isn't reaching for a reference outside himself—he is the reference. That single truth transforms how we see judgment, mercy, identity, and mission.Anthony walks us through the terror and tenderness of the bush that burns without burning up, a living picture of holy fire held by sovereign grace. We explore why the God of Scripture swears by himself, how that anchors promises beyond circumstances, and what it means for people who want assurance that doesn't wobble with the news cycle. Along the way we press into tough questions: Does God restrain his rights? How do we hold moral responsibility alongside divine decree? Why does Daniel 4 insist that reason returns when our eyes lift to heaven?The story broadens as we track Israel's path into Egypt and out again, recognizing providence in the twists of Joseph's betrayal, imprisonment, and rise. His brothers meant evil; God meant it for good is more than a comforting cliché—it's a lens for living when life feels unfair or out of control. We connect this to Jesus before Pilate, where delegated authority meets true sovereignty, and to Job, where the Creator refuses the dock because he answers to no one and never denies himself.Come for the theology, stay for the clarity. If you've wrestled with God's sovereignty, human freedom, or the fear that your life is just random chaos, this conversation offers ballast.

Send us a textTombo Baldwin is back with Part 2 of “I Am Who I Am”—this time to sharpen the point he felt he didn't fully land in the earlier episode. Over a mug of post-holiday hot chocolate (heavy eggnog… because of course), Tombo breaks down what authentic living really looks like: being the same person in private as you are in public—no masks, no performance, no double life.He talks about how authenticity grows when you stop trying to impress people, stop hiding parts of yourself, and get comfortable saying: “This is who I am… flaws and all.” From leaving behind old identities that no longer serve you, to recognizing the “taint” life can layer on top of your genuine self, Tombo challenges you to dig back down to the real you—the one that existed before all the noise, the striving, and the approval-chasing.A big theme is quiet + self-reflection: asking yourself “Who is the genuine me?” and learning to recognize the difference between your true inner voice and that old critical “background tape” that tries to shame you. Tombo also leans hard into forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, as the tool that helps you rewrite your story and release impossible standards that keep you stuck.He wraps with a powerful real-life moment: a realtor named Ed once looked him in the eye and said, “Don't miss out on the joy of being a father.” Tombo calls that a life-changing agreement—proof that the words you accept can shape your future. The takeaway is simple: find the memories, words, and moments that align with the genuine you—agree with those—then reject everything else.Bottom line: when you reconnect with your genuine self and live in congruence, you stop chasing a life you think you should want—and start building the life you actually want.

Faith Chapel began 2026 with joyful expectation—declaring that this will be an amazing year filled with God's favor! The message centered on knowing the Name of the Lord and the power that comes with it. From Isaiah 52:6 to Psalm 9:10 and 91:14, we were reminded that those who trust in His Name are protected and never forsaken. Pastor Josiah highlighted how, from Genesis to Exodus, God revealed Himself progressively—from Creator to I AM WHO I AM—the eternal, self-existent One who rescues, provides, and leads His people. In John 17:6, Jesus declared that He manifested the Father's Name to His followers, showing that knowing His Name means knowing His heart. As we step into 2026, we're invited to trust, seek, and love the Lord who makes Himself known to those who call upon His Name.
I Am Who I Am by Reading Family Church
In a world defined by uncertainty, change, and constant noise, it's easy to let circumstances tell us what is real. Fear, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and shifting outcomes quietly begin to shape how we see God—and ourselves. But in this message, we are called back to a deeper, steadier truth. In I AM: The God Who Is, we return to the burning bush in Exodus 3, where God introduces Himself not with a plan or an explanation, but with a name: I AM WHO I AM. Before Moses is sent, before the future is explained, God establishes reality—He is self-existent, unchanging, and present. This sermon explores how God's dependability is revealed not through a pain-free life, but through His faithful presence, trustworthy Word, and unchanging character. We also examine subtle signs that we've allowed circumstances to define our reality instead of letting God do so—and how that shift affects our emotions, obedience, and faith. Whether you're stepping into a new year, navigating uncertainty, or simply weary from carrying questions, this message invites you to stand on holy ground once again. Before answers come…before outcomes change…God still is. Listen and be reminded: when God defines reality, circumstances lose their power to have the final word.
Welcome to Day 2756 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – 10 Times Jesus Declared His Divinity in the Gospels. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2756 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2756 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled 10 Times Jesus Declared His Divinity in the Gospels. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly stated and demonstrated that He was God. His declarations and actions are not isolated from the broader context of Scripture but are deeply rooted in the Old Testament, which serves as the foundation for understanding His divine identity. In this article, we will examine the key moments in the Gospels where Jesus claimed divinity, using the OT to provide context and clarity. Let's look at the ten times Jesus declared his divinity. 1. Jesus as the “I AM” One of the clearest statements of Jesus' divinity comes in John eight verse fifty-eight when He declares, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” This is an unmistakable reference to Exodus three verse fourteen, where God revealed Himself to Moses as “I AM WHO I AM.” By using this title, Jesus identifies Himself with the God of Israel, YHWH (Yahweh), who spoke to Moses from the burning bush. The Jewish audience understood the weight of this statement, as they immediately sought to stone Him for blasphemy (John eight verse fifty-nine). 2. Jesus Forgives Sins In Mark two, verses five through seven, Jesus forgives the sins of a paralytic man, which prompts the scribes to question, “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Here, Jesus performs an act that, according to Jewish belief, only God could do. His authority to forgive sins demonstrates that He is not merely a prophet or teacher but possesses divine authority. In Isaiah forty-three verse twenty-five, God states, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake.” Jesus' actions directly connect Him with this divine function. 3. Jesus Receives Worship In multiple instances, Jesus accepts worship, which in Jewish monotheism is reserved exclusively for God. For example, after walking on water and calming the storm, His disciples worship Him, saying, “Truly, You are the Son of God” (Matthew fourteen, verse thirty-three). In Deuteronomy six, verse thirty-three, it is commanded, “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.” Yet, Jesus receives worship without rebuke, implying His divine status. In contrast, angels and apostles in the Bible refuse worship, redirecting it to God (Revelation twenty-two, verses eight and nine, Acts fourteen, verse fifteen. 4. Jesus' Claim to be the Son of Man Jesus frequently refers to Himself as the “Son of Man,” a title from Daniel seven, verses thirteen and fourteen, where the Son of Man comes “with the clouds of heaven” and is given “dominion, glory, and a kingdom” that will never pass away. This figure is distinct from ordinary human beings, as He is...

When Moses was born the Hebrew people had been living in Egypt for quite a time. Initially under the protection of Joseph and Pharoah and welcomed as honored guests; they had become an oppressed and enslaved nation. Fearing their growing strength, Pharaoh ordered every Hebrew boy to be thrown into the Nile. But one mothers courage defied the kings decree. She hid her child as long as she could, then placed him in a basket coated with tar and pitch and set him afloat on the Nile river. By Gods providence, Pharaohs daughter found the baby and raised him as her own. Moses grew up amid the luxury of Pharaohs court, yet he never forgot his Hebrew roots. His passion for justiceand his temperwould define much of his life. When he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave, Moses struck down the oppressor and hid the body in the sand (Exod. 2:1112). When the act became known, he fled to the wilderness of Midian, where he spent forty years as a shepherd, husband, and son-in-law to Jethrowaiting for the day when God would call him to lead His people out of bondage. By the time we reach Exodus 3, Moses had already spent those forty years in Midian tending sheep. Then, before a burning bush, he encountered the living Godthe God of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God entered into Moses world in such a way that he would never be the same again. When God called to him from the bush, He said,Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground(v. 5). What made the ground holy? The presence of God made it holy. As R.C. Sproul wrote in his classicThe Holiness of God: God alone is holy in Himself. Only God can sanctify something else. Only God can give the touch that changes it from the commonplace to something special, different, and apart. The God who spoke to Moses from within the burning bush is not only holybut faithful. While many Hebrews believed that God had forgotten them, the Lord reminded Moses that He is not only all-seeing, but full of mercy:I have certainly seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their outcry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings(v. 7). Then God said to Moses,And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt(v. 10). To this, Moses humbly replied,Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt? All that Moses saw in himself was his own failures and weaknesses. But for God, it didnt matter how weak Moses was, for He delights to use the foolish to shame the wise and the weak to shame the strong (1 Cor. 1:2631). What the burning bush reminds us of is not only that God is holy, or that He is omniscient, or that He is faithful to His promises, but that God uses people not because He needs to, but because He wants to. Just as God did not need Noah or Joseph to address the problems of the world, He did not need Moses. The marvel of the story of God and the people He chooses to use has more to do with that fact that He invites people like us into His mission and the story He is telling. There is a Mediator Who Stands in Your Place After God revealed Himself to Moses as Yahwehthe covenant-keeping GodHe commissioned Moses to return to Egypt. Understandably, Moses questioned,Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?God assured him,I will certainly be with you(Exod. 3:1012). And when Moses was to speak to the people of Israel, God instructed him to say,I AM WHO I AM has sent me to you(v. 14). One of the characteristics that distinguishes the God of Abraham from the gods of Egypt is His faithfulnessHe keeps His promises. This is expressed beautifully inExodus 6:25, where God tells Moses,I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.Gods faithfulness is not only in His name but in His actions, His compassion, and His unwavering remembrance of His promises. Do you remember Leahthe ugly wife whom Jacob did not love? Not only was Judah born to her, but so was Levi. About five generations later, we read inExodus 2:1of a man from the house of Levi who married a daughter of Levi. Together they had three children: Miriam, Aaron, and Moses. It was after Miriam and Aarons birthbut before Moses was bornthat Pharaoh commanded every Hebrew son to be thrown into the Nile (seeExod. 1:2022). Yet from this very family, God raised up the leaders who would deliver His people. Moses would lead Israel out of bondage, serving as a type of king who would shepherd Gods people through the wilderness. Aaron would become Gods priest, and through him the priestly line would continue (Exod. 28:129:9). Miriam would be identified as a prophetess (Exod. 15:2021). Dont miss this: God used all threeMoses, Aaron, and Miriamto lead His people out of Egypt, yet Aaron and Miriam would serve the people under Moses leadership (see Mic. 6:4). But it was to Moses, that God said, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. And when Miriam and Aaron forgot their place and Moses God-ordained role before Israel, God said, Now hear My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream. It is not this way for My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My household; with him I speak mouth to mouth, that is, openly, and not using mysterious language, and he beholds the form of the Lord. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses? (see Num. 12:1-8). Follow the Deliverer Who Leads His People Out of Bondage Moses stood before Pharaoh and Israel as a type ofshepherd-kinga mediator and prophet who spoke on Gods behalf. Listen to how the Lord described Moses role: As for you, you shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land. But I will harden Pharaohs heart, so that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst. (Exod. 7:2-5). When Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh, they declared, Thus says the LORD, Let My people go. (Exod. 5:1). Pharaoh not only refused but mocked the God of Israel: Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go (5:1-2). To prove that no one would command Pharoah of Egypt, he made the Israelites labor even harsher, forcing them to gather their own straw while maintaining the same quota of bricks. What followed was asuccession of ten plagues, each designed to expose the impotence of Egypts gods and, in many cases, tomock them directly. The first nine fall naturally into three escalating triads: Plagues of defilement:water turned to blood (7:1424), frogs overran the land (8:115), and gnats or lice tormented Egypt (8:1619). Plagues of destruction:swarms of flies invaded (8:2032); disease killed Egypts livestock while Israels remained unharmed (9:17); and boils afflicted people and animals alike (9:812). Plagues of devastation:hail mixed with fire ravaged the land (9:1335); locusts devoured the remaining crops (10:120); and darknessa direct assault onRa, the sun-godcovered Egypt for three days (10:2129). Each judgment demonstrated Yahwehs sovereignty, yet Pharaohs heart only grew harder. Enraged, he shouted to Moseswho stood before himas Gods representative: Get away from me! Be careful, do not see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you shall die! (10:28). The cognitive dissonance of Pharaoh towards the God of the Israel was not only irrational, but insane! He was dealing with the God who He could not defeat, for in the words of the apostle Paul, it was the equivalent of the clay pot accusing the potter that He had no rights over what He created (Rom. 9:19ff.). In essence, Pharaohs heart cried out to the God of Moses,Who are You to tell me what I can and cannot do? Before we shake our heads or point our finger at Pharaoh in disgust, we must ask ourselves:What has God commanded us to release or submit to that we have resisted with the same question Who is Yahweh that I should obey His voice? Live in the Victory of the Lamb Who Triumphed Over Every Power Before the final plague, Israel was commanded to take amale lamb without defectand keep it forfour dayslong enough to confirm it was spotless and long enough for it to become, in a sense,theirlamb (Exod. 12:16). On the fourteenth day, the lamb was to be slaughtered at twilight, and its blood applied on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it (v. 7). Afterward, the entire household was toeat the lamb together(vv. 811). For what purpose was the perfect and spotless lamb slaughtered? We are told why in Exodus 12:12, For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and fatally strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the human firstborn to animals; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgmentsI am the Lord. Who would God strike? Thefirstborn sonsboth human and animaland thegods (elohim) of Egypt. These gods were not merely lifeless idols butspiritual powers, demonic forces that animated Egypts sorcery and who also held Pharaoh and his people captive[1] (see Deut. 32:17; 1 Cor. 10:2022).[2] So what fueled Pharaohs hatred of Yahweh and his oppression of Israel? His sin and pride, certainlybut beneath that rebellion lay ademonic conflict. The showdown between Moses and Pharaoh, Israel and Egypt, was not merely political or personal; it wasspiritual warfare. As Paul later wrote, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). Every plague before the tenth was a call to repentancea chance for Pharaoh, for Egypt, and even for any Hebrew who had turned to Egypts idols, to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But only throughthe blood of the lambwould anyone experience deliverance and victory. But, why the firstborn? At the summit of Egypts pantheon stoodRa (Re), the so-called god of gods, depicted with thehead of a falconand thesolar disk encircled by a cobraa symbol of divine power and kingship. Pharaoh was worshiped as theson of Ra, and his ownfirstborn sonwas regarded as the next embodiment of divine rule. In one decisive act, Yahweh crushed the head of Egypts god for the purpose of liberating captive Israel and any Egyptian who wished to turn to the true Creator, and He did it through the blood of the lamb! Conclusion Through this series, youve been reminded of thetrue and better Adamwho embraced a tree for our redemption and life. Youve seen thetrue and better Isaac, who carried His cross to the place of execution for sins we committed, that we might become children of God through His willing death. There is atrue and better Israel, who pursued the unfaithful bride and redeemed her to be clothed in white, never again enslaved to sin. And there is atrue and better Mosesthe Prophet who perfectly represents God, the High Priest who intercedes for us, and the flawless Shepherd-King whose lordship demands our obedience. Behind Egypts gods stood a master deceiverthe father of lies, the ancient serpentwho twists truth and opposes the purposes of God. When Moses stood before Pharaoh, he wasnt merely confronting a ruler; he was standing against the spiritual powers of darkness. In that moment, Moses foreshadowed the One who would intercede perfectly on our behalf. Jesus is the true and better Mosesthe long-promised Deliverer, the Lion of Judah who became the Lamb of God to set captives free. He alone is the sinless Son of the Father, who took on flesh and dwelt among usthe Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. But His death did more than address our guilt; ittriumphed over sin, death, and every power opposed to Gods kingdom. Through His cross and resurrection, Jesus destroyed the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil (Heb. 2:14), and the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). When we turn to the book of Revelation, we witness a dramatic, global reenactment of the Exodus story: the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls each unleash escalating judgments, echoing the plagues that struck Egypt. Yet, just as Pharaoh stubbornly hardened his heart, so too does humanity in the final days. Scripture warns, The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands; they continued to worship demons and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and woodidols that can neither see, hear, nor walk. They refused to repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts (Rev. 9:20-21). So we must ask regarding ourselves: Who is Yahweh that I should obey Him? Thetrue and better Moses, theLamb of God, was slain to liberate us from such things. For the true Christian,Colossians 2:1315declares our victory: And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. (Col. 2:13-15) If you are in Christ, your victory and freedom are found inthe Lamb who reigns as the Lion of Judah. Jesus is the true and better Mediator who stands in your place. Jesus is the true and better Deliverer who leads His people out of bondage. The true Son of God is your salvationbefore whom every ruler and demon, all who are rich and poor, those who are known and unknown will one day bow. And on that Day, mayRevelation 12:1011be said of you: Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. (Rev. 12:10-11) [1] And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Cor. 4:3-4) [2] No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? (1 Cor. 10:20-22)
When Moses was born the Hebrew people had been living in Egypt for quite a time. Initially under the protection of Joseph and Pharoah and welcomed as honored guests; they had become an oppressed and enslaved nation. Fearing their growing strength, Pharaoh ordered every Hebrew boy to be thrown into the Nile. But one mothers courage defied the kings decree. She hid her child as long as she could, then placed him in a basket coated with tar and pitch and set him afloat on the Nile river. By Gods providence, Pharaohs daughter found the baby and raised him as her own. Moses grew up amid the luxury of Pharaohs court, yet he never forgot his Hebrew roots. His passion for justiceand his temperwould define much of his life. When he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave, Moses struck down the oppressor and hid the body in the sand (Exod. 2:1112). When the act became known, he fled to the wilderness of Midian, where he spent forty years as a shepherd, husband, and son-in-law to Jethrowaiting for the day when God would call him to lead His people out of bondage. By the time we reach Exodus 3, Moses had already spent those forty years in Midian tending sheep. Then, before a burning bush, he encountered the living Godthe God of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God entered into Moses world in such a way that he would never be the same again. When God called to him from the bush, He said,Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground(v. 5). What made the ground holy? The presence of God made it holy. As R.C. Sproul wrote in his classicThe Holiness of God: God alone is holy in Himself. Only God can sanctify something else. Only God can give the touch that changes it from the commonplace to something special, different, and apart. The God who spoke to Moses from within the burning bush is not only holybut faithful. While many Hebrews believed that God had forgotten them, the Lord reminded Moses that He is not only all-seeing, but full of mercy:I have certainly seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their outcry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings(v. 7). Then God said to Moses,And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt(v. 10). To this, Moses humbly replied,Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt? All that Moses saw in himself was his own failures and weaknesses. But for God, it didnt matter how weak Moses was, for He delights to use the foolish to shame the wise and the weak to shame the strong (1 Cor. 1:2631). What the burning bush reminds us of is not only that God is holy, or that He is omniscient, or that He is faithful to His promises, but that God uses people not because He needs to, but because He wants to. Just as God did not need Noah or Joseph to address the problems of the world, He did not need Moses. The marvel of the story of God and the people He chooses to use has more to do with that fact that He invites people like us into His mission and the story He is telling. There is a Mediator Who Stands in Your Place After God revealed Himself to Moses as Yahwehthe covenant-keeping GodHe commissioned Moses to return to Egypt. Understandably, Moses questioned,Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?God assured him,I will certainly be with you(Exod. 3:1012). And when Moses was to speak to the people of Israel, God instructed him to say,I AM WHO I AM has sent me to you(v. 14). One of the characteristics that distinguishes the God of Abraham from the gods of Egypt is His faithfulnessHe keeps His promises. This is expressed beautifully inExodus 6:25, where God tells Moses,I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.Gods faithfulness is not only in His name but in His actions, His compassion, and His unwavering remembrance of His promises. Do you remember Leahthe ugly wife whom Jacob did not love? Not only was Judah born to her, but so was Levi. About five generations later, we read inExodus 2:1of a man from the house of Levi who married a daughter of Levi. Together they had three children: Miriam, Aaron, and Moses. It was after Miriam and Aarons birthbut before Moses was bornthat Pharaoh commanded every Hebrew son to be thrown into the Nile (seeExod. 1:2022). Yet from this very family, God raised up the leaders who would deliver His people. Moses would lead Israel out of bondage, serving as a type of king who would shepherd Gods people through the wilderness. Aaron would become Gods priest, and through him the priestly line would continue (Exod. 28:129:9). Miriam would be identified as a prophetess (Exod. 15:2021). Dont miss this: God used all threeMoses, Aaron, and Miriamto lead His people out of Egypt, yet Aaron and Miriam would serve the people under Moses leadership (see Mic. 6:4). But it was to Moses, that God said, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. And when Miriam and Aaron forgot their place and Moses God-ordained role before Israel, God said, Now hear My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream. It is not this way for My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My household; with him I speak mouth to mouth, that is, openly, and not using mysterious language, and he beholds the form of the Lord. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses? (see Num. 12:1-8). Follow the Deliverer Who Leads His People Out of Bondage Moses stood before Pharaoh and Israel as a type ofshepherd-kinga mediator and prophet who spoke on Gods behalf. Listen to how the Lord described Moses role: As for you, you shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land. But I will harden Pharaohs heart, so that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst. (Exod. 7:2-5). When Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh, they declared, Thus says the LORD, Let My people go. (Exod. 5:1). Pharaoh not only refused but mocked the God of Israel: Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go (5:1-2). To prove that no one would command Pharoah of Egypt, he made the Israelites labor even harsher, forcing them to gather their own straw while maintaining the same quota of bricks. What followed was asuccession of ten plagues, each designed to expose the impotence of Egypts gods and, in many cases, tomock them directly. The first nine fall naturally into three escalating triads: Plagues of defilement:water turned to blood (7:1424), frogs overran the land (8:115), and gnats or lice tormented Egypt (8:1619). Plagues of destruction:swarms of flies invaded (8:2032); disease killed Egypts livestock while Israels remained unharmed (9:17); and boils afflicted people and animals alike (9:812). Plagues of devastation:hail mixed with fire ravaged the land (9:1335); locusts devoured the remaining crops (10:120); and darknessa direct assault onRa, the sun-godcovered Egypt for three days (10:2129). Each judgment demonstrated Yahwehs sovereignty, yet Pharaohs heart only grew harder. Enraged, he shouted to Moseswho stood before himas Gods representative: Get away from me! Be careful, do not see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you shall die! (10:28). The cognitive dissonance of Pharaoh towards the God of the Israel was not only irrational, but insane! He was dealing with the God who He could not defeat, for in the words of the apostle Paul, it was the equivalent of the clay pot accusing the potter that He had no rights over what He created (Rom. 9:19ff.). In essence, Pharaohs heart cried out to the God of Moses,Who are You to tell me what I can and cannot do? Before we shake our heads or point our finger at Pharaoh in disgust, we must ask ourselves:What has God commanded us to release or submit to that we have resisted with the same question Who is Yahweh that I should obey His voice? Live in the Victory of the Lamb Who Triumphed Over Every Power Before the final plague, Israel was commanded to take amale lamb without defectand keep it forfour dayslong enough to confirm it was spotless and long enough for it to become, in a sense,theirlamb (Exod. 12:16). On the fourteenth day, the lamb was to be slaughtered at twilight, and its blood applied on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it (v. 7). Afterward, the entire household was toeat the lamb together(vv. 811). For what purpose was the perfect and spotless lamb slaughtered? We are told why in Exodus 12:12, For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and fatally strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the human firstborn to animals; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgmentsI am the Lord.

Welcome to the sermon. Last week, we explored Moses's question, "Who am I?" Today, we tackle the other great question from the burning bush: "Who are you, God?" We're diving into Exodus 3 to explore the profound meaning behind the name God reveals for Himself—a name full of mystery and power, which is ultimately and most clearly revealed in the person of Jesus.Scripture ReferencesExodus 3:13-15: Moses asks for God's name, and God reveals Himself as "I AM WHO I AM."John 8:56-59: Jesus declares, "Before Abraham was, I AM," identifying Himself as Yahweh.Hebrews 12:29: "For our God is a consuming fire."Colossians 1:15-20: A description of Jesus as the supreme and exact image of the invisible God.Key Points1. Why Moses Asks for a NameMoses wasn't just asking for a label. In a world of many gods, he needed more than a title; he was asking for God's character and power. He needed to understand who this God was so he could confidently lead the Israelites. It was a request for a deeper revelation of God's very nature.2. The Mysterious Name: "I AM" (YHWH)God's answer is a profound riddle: "I AM WHO I AM." This reveals His personal name, YHWH (often translated as "the LORD"), which points to His self-existence, His eternal and unchangeable nature, and His power as Creator. Like the burning bush itself, God's name is both inviting and holy—the fire draws us in with fascination but also warns us with its power. It's an invitation to spend a lifetime getting to know this mysterious, all-powerful God.3. Jesus is the Answer to the RiddleThe mystery of God's name finds its ultimate answer in Jesus. In the New Testament, Jesus repeatedly uses "I AM" statements ("I am the good shepherd," "I am the vine," etc.) and makes the staggering declaration, "Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58). He wasn't just pointing to Yahweh; He was identifying Himself as Yahweh in the flesh. If the name YHWH was the introduction, Jesus is the full story.ConclusionThe name of God, Yahweh, is not just an ancient fact; it's an invitation into a relationship with the self-existent, all-powerful Creator. Jesus is the final and clearest revelation of this name. He is Yahweh in the flesh, the perfect image of the invisible God, making the mysterious known. To truly know the great "I AM," we must know Jesus.Calls to ActionBow to Jesus: If you have never surrendered to Him, recognize Him today as the one true God, Yahweh in the flesh.Ask for the Fire: If your faith has grown stagnant, pray for the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn away your boredom and fascinate you with God's presence anew.Go Deeper: Move beyond knowing facts about God to pursuing an experiential relationship with God through Jesus.

“I AM” (not a tribal god) Journey to Reality Chapter Three: Who is God? Preamble. First – apologize. If you want to see an object's strengths and weaknesses, put it under stress. We do this with our asceticism: prayer rules, regular participation in worship, fasting, and tithing are useful not just because they develop virtue, but because they test it. They show the extent to which we need to work on our patience, reliability (faith), kindness, and trust. For most people, most of the time, the responses are not life-threatening and they allow for repentance and change towards the better. Big stresses to the system do an even better job at exposing flaws and virtues. They can also do real damage to people's souls. Many have been going through that kind of a trial the past week. As your pastor and, for many of you, your spiritual father, my main calling is to care for your souls. I understand the complexity and dynamics at work in our society as a trained and experienced social scientist, intelligence analyst, and theologian and, I will be happy to share some observations with you. But these are sorts of things that many of you have been binging on over the past week. And that in itself is often a tell; an indicator of a sickness. So first, I ask you the most important question: what have you learned about your spiritual health over the last week? NOTE: I am not asking about your alleged discernment about the spiritual health of others, but of your own. 1 Corinthians 13:4-9. 4. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. [But love never ends.] How are we doing on this? To the extent we have been pulled off our peace, we are subject to manipulation. If the con is well-done, people won't even know they are being used. Propaganda doesn't just work on THEM, it works on everyone. And there are always demonic propagandists looking for opportunities to manipulate for various purposes. None of them good. Now on to the Scripture Preparation for our Reading There is always a temptation to: · Turn God into a created and anthropomorphized god SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND HIM (Compare this to the Incarnation) · Turn God into a tribal god. This shows up in the Scriptures. God has emotions (anger, jealousy) and sets aside the Jews as his portion/tribe. The Bible is True, but its meaning is not always obvious. · Deuteronomy 4:23-24. So watch yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything against which the Lord your God has commanded you. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. · Deuteronomy 32:5-10. When the Most High divided the nations, When He scattered the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the nations by the number of God's angels. For the Lord's portion became the people of Jacob; the allotment of His inheritance is Israel. We can turn God into our own tribal God and subsume our worship to tribal virtue signaling. But that would be heresy. Christian nationalism brings too many temptations. It is NOT Orthodox. We have the fullness of the faith, but we do not own God and His is the God of all mankind. And more. Worship and prayers are not spells, but our offering to the absolute source of all good things who has adopted us into His kingdom. Exodus 3:14. God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” St. Hilary of Pottiers (On the Trinity); In [the Books of Moses and the Prophets] I found the testimony of God the Creator about himself expressed in the following manner: “I am who I am,” and again, “Thus shall you say to the children of Israel: He who is, has sent me to you.” I was filled with admiration at such a clear definition of God, which spoke of the incomprehensible nature in language most suitable to our human understanding. It is known that there is nothing more characteristic of God than to be, because that itself which is does not belong to those things which will one day end or to those which had a beginning. But that which combines eternity with the power of unending happiness could never not have been, nor is it possible that one day it will not be, because what is divine is not liable to destruction, nor does it have a beginning. And since the eternity of God will not be untrue to itself in anything, he has revealed to us in a fitting manner this fact alone, that he is, in order to render testimony to his everlasting eternity. St. Jerome (Letter 15): There is one nature of God and one only; and this, and this alone, truly is. For absolute being is derived from no other source but is all its own. All things besides, that is, all things created, although they appear to be, soon are not. For there was a time when they were not, and that which once was not may again cease to be. God alone who is eternal, that is to say, who has no beginning, really deserves to be called an essence. Therefore also he says of him, “I am has sent me.” Letter 15.4. St. Augustine (Tractate on the Gospel of John): Perhaps it was hard even for Moses himself, as it is much also for us, and much more for us, to understand what was said, “I am who I am” and “He who is has sent me to you.” And if by chance Moses understood, when would they to whom he was being sent understand? Therefore the Lord put aside what man could not grasp and added what he could grasp. For he added and said, “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” This you can grasp. But what mind can grasp, “I am who I am”? Tractate on the Gospel of John 38.8.3 St. John 8:58. Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” St. Gregory the Great (Homily 16 on the Gospels). Our Redeemer graciously turns their gaze away from his body and draws it to contemplation of his divinity. He says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” “Before” indicates past time, “I am” present time. Because divinity does not have past and future time but always is, he did not say, “I was before Abraham” but “Before Abraham was, I am.” And so it was said to Moses, “I am who I am,” and “You will say to the children of Israel, ‘He who is has sent me to you.' ” Therefore he who could draw near by manifesting his presence and depart after completing his life existed both before and after Abraham. Truth always exists, because nothing begins before it in time or comes to an end after it. When we have the correct understand of God, that He is the uncreated Arche' whose essence IS; but that He also works in creation through His energies, we can add words to His Name without limiting Him. Here are some examples (For a more complete list, see “on the Divine Names” by St. Dionysius): I am …With you… [I am] your God. (Isaiah 41:10; St. Matthew 28:20) I am He who comforts you (Isaiah 51:12) Way, Truth, Life. (St. John 14:6) Resurrection and the Life. (St. John 14:6) The True Vine (St. John 15:1,5) Light of the world. (St. John 8:12) Bread of Life (St. John 6:35) The Door (St. John 10:9) Good Shepherd (St. John 10:11) Alpha and Omega… (Revelation 1:8) This helps us understand Dr. Porcu's point in chapter three. The early Christians knew that God was the arche', with all that this entailed, but they also knew that he was a Person with a Mind and a Will (p. 28). WHAT THIS DOESN'T MEAN. · The example of the rock that is a person. The tree that is a person. The planet that is a person. The star that is a person. The universe that is a person. · “However, this is not what we mean when we say that the arche' is a person. We're not taking some object and adding the idea of personhood to it. We're saying that the ultimate governing principle of reality – distinct from the created universe – is personal. This is why God's name – which allows us to relate to Him – is centered on existence. St. Jerome (Letter 15): As the angels, the sky, the earth, the seas all existed at the time, it must have been as the absolute being that God claimed for himself that name of essence, which seemed to be common to all. But because his nature alone is perfect and because in the three persons there subsists but one Godhead, which truly is and is one nature, whoever in the name of religion declares that there are in the Godhead three elements, three hypostases, that is, or essences, is striving really to predicate three natures of God. Letter 15.4. HIS BEING, HIS EXISTENCE, HIS ESSENCE, IS NOT SHARED WITH CREATION. His energies, however, are. Which should we worship? This, not intent or love, is the main difference between the Orthodox sacramental worldview and the pagan one. Next week: The One or the Many?

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 8th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 3:14: ”And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.' “ Wow, what a title! I'm so excited this morning. “I AM who I AM.” I AM is the name of God, and then we go to John 14:10:”Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? “You see, Phillip said, ”Show us the Father.” “I am the Father. I am in Him and He is in me.” I can hear somebody say, ”Oh, are you sure about that?” Don't be like Phillip. Just believe, folks. Our faith is all about believing in the fact that Jesus is God. How can I prove that? Well, Matthew 1:23 is very specific, and His name is Immanuel, which is translated, God with us.Oh folks, today I want to tell you, we need to open our eyes, and we need to ask the Holy Spirit to show us Jesus in this world. You know, I'm a farmer. When I get up early in the morning, as the sun rises. I can see Him in the sunrise, I can see Him in the sunset, I can see Him in the face of a newly born baby. Oh yes I can. I can smell Him when the first rains after a long dry winter start falling onto the dry ground. I can feel Him in my Spirit!Do you remember that beautiful old hymn, “All over the world the Spirit is moving?” If you know it please sing it with me:All over the world the Spirit is moving,All over the world as the Prophet said it would be, Hallelujah! All over the world, there's a mighty revelation,Of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.Oh, deep down in my heart the Spirit is moving,Deep down in my heart as the Prophet said it would be, Hallelujah!Deep down in my heart, there's a mighty revelation,Of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.Jesus bless you. Open your spiritual eyes and you'll see Him today,God bless you and goodbye
01/09/2025 – Evening Service Rev Ian M Watson Exodus 2:11-3:15, John 8:48-59 The post I Am Who I Am appeared first on Hope Church Blackwood & Kirkmuirhill.
As our "A is for..." summer sermon series winds down, Pastor Jacob explores what is known as the Tetragrammaton, or the four letters that make up the Divine name that God uses when talking to Moses in Exodus. What does it mean when God says, "I Am Who I Am?"
Exodus 3:13-20 (I Am Who I Am. I Am has sent me to you)
Today is day 173 and we are on the section on The First Petition: "Hallowed be Thy Name". 173. What is God's Name? God's Name reveals who he is—his nature, his character, his power, and his purposes. The Name God reveals to Moses is “I AM WHO I AM” or simply “I AM” (Exodus 3:6, 14). This Name means that he alone is truly God, he is the source of his own Being, he is holy and just, and he cannot be defined by his creatures. (Exodus 3:6, 14; 15:11; Psalm 99; Isaiah 5:16; 42:8; 47:4; John 8:58; Revelation 1:8) We will conclude today with Proper 2 found on page 615 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Pastor Brian kicks off our summer "We Believe" series with the big question: Who exactly is this God we pray to and worship? Using Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush (Exodus 3), he unpacks what it means when God says "I AM WHO I AM." Pastor Brian admits this topic is like "bringing a shop-vac to the ocean" - we'll never fully grasp it all. But that's okay! The point isn't to figure God out; it's to know Him better and stand in awe of who He is.
Join Lisa and Laura for our series Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person's essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today's episode, we explore our third name, Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. The word “rapha” often refers to physical healing in Scripture, but it has a more expansive meaning, too, involving the entire person. Jehovah Rapha doesn't just heal the body. He heals the mind and soul. In a world desperate for healing, this is an episode you do not want to miss. Grab your Bible and invite a friend to listen. We all need Jehovah Rapha! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Exodus 15:26: If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Exodus 3:13–14: Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” Psalm 22:14–15: I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. Exodus 15:22–27 Romans 8:22: We know that all creation has been groaning with labor pains together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for the adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 5:5: Hope does not disappoint us. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Are you in the place between devastated hope and deliverance? Bring your heart to Jehovah Rapha and ask, what does He want to reveal and what He is longing to heal? Is it a physical illness? Sin? Trauma? Childhood wound? Unforgiveness? Show mentions.

In this foundational session, Dr. James Dolezal teaches on the doctrine of divine simplicity—the truth that God is not made of parts or composed of differing attributes. He explains how simplicity safeguards God's unity, independence, immutability, and perfection. Far from being an abstract philosophical idea, divine simplicity is vital to understanding the God of Scripture and worshiping Him rightly. Through careful biblical reasoning and historical confessional support, Dr. Dolezal shows how this doctrine undergirds all others. Without simplicity, the God we profess becomes subject to change, complexity, or contradiction. This message calls the church to recover this essential aspect of theology proper and to rest in the unchanging wholeness of our God. Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4 – "The Lord our God, the Lord is one." Exodus 3:14 – "I AM WHO I AM." James 1:17 – "The Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." Speaker Bio: Dr. James Dolezal is professor of theology at Cairn University and visiting professor at International Reformed Baptist Seminary. He is the author of God Without Parts and All That Is in God, and contributor to volumes like Divine Impassibility and Classical Theism. About the Conference: Confessing the Faith promotes reverent teaching on the doctrine of God as expressed in the 1689 Confession. Each year focuses on one chapter. Upcoming: Join us in April 2026 for Chapter 3 – Of God's Decree Details and registration: www.confessingthefaith.ca

In this message, Katy teaches us about Exodus 3, where Moses encounters God in the burning bush—a moment of divine revelation and transformation. God, fully aware of His people's suffering in Egypt, calls Moses to lead them to freedom. Despite Moses' doubts and objections, God reassures him with His presence and reveals His name, "I AM WHO I AM," emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. This passage not only highlights God's holiness and power but also His deep compassion and commitment to His covenant. Just as God heard the cries of Israel and came down to rescue them, He continues to see, hear, and respond to His people today.

We explore the historical context of the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt and their eventual liberation through a series of ten plagues that God brings upon Egypt. We witness the pivotal role of Moses, who is called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. We also explore the significance of God's revelation of His name as "I AM WHO I AM" and the institution of the Passover feast as a commemoration of God's deliverance.Bible ReadingsExodus 1:1-22Exodus 2:1-15Exodus 3: 1-22Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!
