God at a Distance, Ex 3:3-5, 09/27/97

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of God's presence transitioning from a distance in the Old Testament to nearness in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. It highlights the limitations of the Old Testament covenant, emphasizing the fear and separation experienced by the people at Mount Sinai. The preacher contrasts this with the New Testament dispensation, where believers have boldness to approach God directly by the blood of Jesus, experiencing intimacy and communion with Him. The message encourages believers to embrace this access and live in the nearness God has provided.
