Moses & the Burning Bush, part 2

The sermon explores the divine self-revelation in Exodus 3, focusing on God's name, Yahweh, as a conjugated verb signifying His eternal existence and sovereign independence. It highlights the theological implication that God is the source of all being, contrasting His unchanging nature with the non-existence of false gods. The text emphasizes God's active intervention in human history, using the concept of 'visiting' to describe His purposeful acts of blessing and judgment, such as the deliverance of Israel from Egypt. The preacher connects this Old Testament narrative to the New Testament, illustrating how God's sovereign decree works through the free agency of men, including both sinful acts and righteous obedience, to accomplish His redemptive plan. Ultimately, the sermon presents God's presence as the guarantee of His promises, offering comfort and assurance to believers that their suffering is meaningful and their deliverance is secured by the God who is.
