The Mystery of God | Can you see where God was?

What happens when God refuses to fit inside the categories we create? This week at Medina UCC, we move from the mythic world of Poseidon and the gods of the ancient world to Moses standing barefoot before a burning bush in the wilderness. Moses asks God for a name, but the answer he receives is not a title, a territory, or a job description. It is mystery itself: I Am That I Am. This message explores a God who cannot be reduced to an image, a doctrine, a rulebook, or a single definition. Instead, God is revealed in wonder, creation, community, justice, compassion, and the holy moments we often overlook. From a house being built in a church parking lot to baptisms, funerals, shared meals, Pride, and the sacred image carried by every person, this episode invites us to ask a simple but powerful question: Can you see where God was? *To support our mission to create more podcast content like this ⁠Donate using our secure portal: ⁠⁠⁠https://onrealm.org/uccmedina/-/form/give/now⁠⁠⁠ OR Texting UCCMEDINA to 73256 Who is the Rev.
