Exodus: The Search for Glory

02.01.2026 | In this week’s sermon by David Lee, we explore the profound narrative of Exodus 33, examining the Israelites' journey from slavery toward the promised land and what it means to be God's people. This message challenges the transactional nature of our relationship with God, urging us to shift our focus from seeking his gifts to desiring his presence above all else. Key Points: The danger of seeking significance or "glory" in worldly success and idols rather than in God. The transformation of the heart: moving from wanting what God can give to simply wanting to be with him. Understanding that true freedom and our worth are found only in being known by God and living in his presence. How Jesus serves as the greater mediator, fulfilling the role that Moses pointed toward, ensuring God’s presence remains with us. Questions Answered: What is the true source of human significance and glory? Does God’s presence define our worth, or do our accomplishments? Why is an relationship based on divine presence better than one based on material success? How does the death of Jesus assure us that God will never leave us?
