Moses & His Presence (1 of 5)
Series: Face to Face with God

Exodus 33:12-23
The Aim of This Series
Today, we begin a series designed to show you what happens when God shows up. I am really excited about this series and I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of encounters between ordinary people and God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There's a crisis, an extraordinary time when people seek God, and there's a visitation.
As a younger man, I began to study the experiences of other believers in what are known as spiritual awakenings. Many of you may not be aware that times of spiritual awakening are a big part of our American history. Now, spiritual awakening is replete with remarkable, attention-grabbing stories.
Welsh Revival
In the early part of the 1900s, in the country known as Wales, a spiritual awakening broke out in force. The impact wasn't felt inside the church only but outside the church as well - many taverns went bankrupt because so many people were converted and gave up drinking. Crime so diminished as a result of the Welsh Revival, that judges were presented with ''white gloves'' signifying there were no cases of murder, assault, robbery, or rape. Some police officers were unemployed because of the moral and spiritual change evident throughout the nation. And the more you read about stories like this, the more you lean in.
Personally, I have a hunger for our church to experience the presence of God in this way. Today, I want you to see God doesn't withhold His presence from us but He longs to show Himself.
Today's Scripture
