Worship and Prayer - Exodus 32:11-14 - CVPC Sermons

What this episode covers

1. The role of the mediator has two parts: to represent man to God and to represent God to man. How does Moses fulfill both of these roles in chapter 32?2. In vs. 11-13, Moses appeals to Yahweh's character, his reputation, and his promises to save Israel from destruction. What does Moses' prayer teach us about praying for the lost?3. In v. 14, the passage states that God relents (ESV, CSB); other translations say God repented (ASV, KJV) and changed his mind (AMP, ICB). Does this mean that God, who is immutable, changes? In what sense do our prayers and God's providence work to change circumstances?
