#1 Moses Meets God
from Trinity Church Golden Grove
Exodus 3:1-15 Talk Outline Download Slides Talk Summary This opening talk in our I AM series begins by asking a foundational question: who is the God we follow, and can He be trusted when life feels impossible? By going back to Exodus 3, the “prequel” to Jesus’ I AM statements, we see how God first reveals himself to Moses—not as a distant force, but as the holy, self-sufficient, personal Lord who chooses to be known. Through the burning bush, the removal of sandals, and God’s patient conversation with a hesitant Moses, the talk unpacks what God’s name really means: “I AM who I AM”—the God who depends on nothing, yet draws near, sees suffering, and promises his presence. The talk then traces how this revelation shapes faith in hard moments. Moses’ doubts, fears, and sense of inadequacy mirror our own, but God’s answer is not self-confidence—it is “I will be with you.” This deep picture of God becomes the foundation for understanding Jesus’ I AM statements in John’s Gospel, where God’s character is fully revealed in Christ. The message closes by pressing the personal implication: when life feels overwhelming, what matters most is not our ability, but who God is—and that the great I AM stands with his people.
