Finding God

Overview

One of the best ways of having a discussion about faith is to not simply talk about what you believe but also how you came to believe it. Not just the content, but the process or the journey you went on. It’s often very helpful, because everybody is on a process.

We’re looking now at a famous passage: Moses and the burning bush. Moses already believes in God, but until this, he’s never encountered him. This is Moses’ conversion experience: he actually meets God.

Four things bring Moses to this moment, and they’re the same four things the Bible says usually have to happen if you’re going to meet God. What are they? They are 1) a disrupting sight, 2) an expanding concept, 3) a personal problem, and 4) a surprising grace.
