Kicking off the Essentials series, Pastor Hunter Jones preaches from Exodus 34, where God reveals His own name and character to Moses after Israel had distorted Him into a golden calf. The sermon argues that the smallest distortion in our view of God leads to major distortions in how we live, so we must let God define Himself rather than shaping Him into a comfortable idol. God reveals Himself as the self-existent "I Am," triune, overflowing in chesed (loyal, covenant) love, and perfectly just. Rightly seeing God produces the same response Moses had: falling down in humble, overwhelmed worship.
Pastor Daniel Goulding · Nov 28, 2022
True biblical kindness — the Hebrew hesed, the covenantal love of God — is neither the harsh bluntness of meanness nor the spineless avoidance of niceness. It is a courageous, firm-centered, soft-edged posture that holds convictions without compromise while engaging people with genuine grace. Just as David sought out the broken, shame-bearing Mephibosheth not because he deserved it but because of covenant love, God calls His people to pursue a world hostile to Him with the same irrational, dignity-restoring kindness He has shown us — because it is His kindness that leads people to repentance.
