EXODUS: Encounter
One of the most pivotal moments in the Biblical story is Moses and the Burning Bush.
This episode highlights our vital need for encounter with God, not only for our own benefit but also for the sake of our broken world. These small group notes help us to explore the initial encounter Moses had, as well as his ongoing relationship with YAHWEH. This leads us to inspect our own relationship with God and how it is transformed through Christ.
