Moses and the Presence of God: Following the Cloud

from Restored Church · host Restored Church

What is trust, and what happens when yours has been shaken? In this message from Exodus 13-17, Grant Clark follows the Israelites through their journey after leaving Egypt. They see the Red Sea parted, follow pillars of cloud and fire, and experience God's provision in incredible ways. But when new challenges come, their confidence fades quickly. It's a pattern most of us know well. This sermon is an invitation to see that God is both greater than we can imagine and closer than we could hope, and that real faith is built not only in the big moments, but in the ordinary, daily act of trusting Him with what's right in front of you.BIG MIRACLES and ORDINARY OBEDIENCETrust “is confidence born from experience.”God is both greater than we can imagine, and closer than we could hope.Pictures of the Pillar of Cloud and Fire“Even though they left “in battle formation”, this does not mean they were ready to fight.” - Tony Merida“The most accurate test of your faith is not how you respond when miracles happen, but how you respond when they don’t.” - JD Greear"Follow me" - Jesus“In the old covenant God faithfully remained with His people, accompanying them in the tabernacle and the temple.
