Exodus 3 – The Burning Bush, God’s Holy Name, and the Call of Moses | Bible Study

Welcome to today’s Bible study.In this episode, we step into Exodus 3 (KJV), one of the most defining moments in all of Scripture.Moses is living in obscurity.Far removed from Egypt’s palace and Israel’s suffering, he spends his days tending sheep in the wilderness. It seems like his story has slowed down.Then everything changes.In the middle of an ordinary day, Moses sees something impossible.A bush is on fire, yet it is not consumed.As he draws closer, God calls his name from the flames. Holy ground is revealed. Moses is told to remove his sandals as he stands before the presence of the living God.But this encounter is bigger than wonder.God reveals that He has seen the suffering of His people. He has heard their cries. And He is preparing to act.Then comes the call that changes Moses’ life forever.God sends him back to Egypt, the very place he fled, to confront Pharaoh and lead Israel out of slavery.Moses feels overwhelmed by his own weakness.God responds by revealing His eternal name.“I AM THAT I AM.”The self existent, eternal God makes it clear that deliverance will not depend on Moses’ strength, but on God’s power.Through verse by verse study, and with insight from Matthew Henry, we uncover themes of holiness, divine calling, fear, obedience, and the God who meets ordinary people and calls them into extraordinary purpose.About the podcast:A verse by verse journey through Scripture, exploring its historical depth, literary beauty, and theological truth, while connecting it to everyday Christian living.Purpose:Created for both study and devotion, with the goal of deepening your understanding of God’s Word and drawing you into its story.Sources:Matthew Henry Commentary via Blue Letter BibleBibleRef for contextual insightsResearch tools used for background understandingAll material is used for educational and non commercial purposes with credit to the original authors and publishers.
