TEACHING SERIES: Closer Than You Know
SERMON TITLE: Turn To See
BY: Jenny Barthow
DATE: Sunday 28 July 2024
BIBLE PASSAGES: Exodus 3:1-3

EXCERPT:

In Exodus 3:3-4, the exact same phrase is used twice: Moses ‘goes over to look’ at the burning bush and God sees that Moses has ‘gone over to look’. This phrase is important and has two aspects to it:

a. Turning away from one direction.
b. Giving attention to another direction.

This is crucial in our search for God. We often long to experience that he is close or hear his voice. But what if it started with us? What if the first step is actively turning towards him?

“Prayer is never the first word; it is always the second word. God has the first word.”
(Eugene Peterson)
