Have you ever realized too late that you missed out on something incredible—something that was right in front of you the whole time? Many people do this with God, settling for a surface-level understanding or ignoring Him altogether. But God doesn’t want to remain distant; He wants to be known. Through Jesus, we have the opportunity to know God personally—the very thing Moses longed for—and in kno...

When it comes to faith, just showing up isn’t the goal—it’s what you do with that time with God that matters. Moses didn’t just spend time near God; he met with Him face to face. Now, through Jesus, we have an even greater invitation—to come into God’s presence, not just occasionally, but daily. The question isn’t whether God is showing up—He is. The real question is, will you? Will you step into...

What do you do when God doesn’t act the way you expect? Discipleship means learning to trust His promises through both joy and hardship—especially when frustration tempts us to take matters into our own hands. Just as Moses interceded for Israel, we need people who will challenge our idols, remind us of God’s faithfulness, and help keep our focus on the Cross of Christ. The post The God Who Discip...

The message of Christ calls for a change in our hearts and lives. The Ten Commandments are essential tools in our discipleship process.  God uses them to reveal our struggles, loves, and weaknesses and our need for God’s grace and holiness. While the world offers temporary self-help, true transformation ultimately only comes through Christ Himself. The post The God Who Disciples: The Command...

Are you familiar with the phrase, ‘Be careful what you ask for’? Today, we focus on one of the hardest—but best—prayers you can pray: the prayer for humility. It is one of the most godly prayers we can pray, but it comes with consequences. The post The God Who Disciples: “Be Careful What You Pray For” appeared first on Reston Presbyterian Church .

What if the way you view rest is completely backward? In this sermon, we explore how Jesus reveals the Sabbath—the same one God gave to Moses thousands of years ago—as more than just a rule. It’s a gift to enjoy, a sign of God’s promise, and a test of our trust in Him. Discover how true Sabbath rest is impacted by our faith in Jesus Christ. The post The God Who Disciples: “The Power of the S...

What if the greatest challenge in your life isn’t your circumstances, but your trust in God’s plan? Christ calls us to follow Him, but following is only possible when we trust—and trust doesn’t come naturally. Through discipleship, we learn to rely on Him and His Word.  Just as God did with Moses, we can learn to trust God and His plan a little more each day. The post The God Who Disciples: &#8220...

Discipleship is about letting Christ lead you, especially when you do not feel ready. Taking the first steps of faith can feel as wobbly as riding a bike with training wheels, but it’s where discipleship begins. Just as Moses and Aaron had to trust God and move forward despite their inadequacies, so must we. This week, consider where you feel unprepared and step out in obedience, trusting God to s...

Where you begin matters—especially in discipleship. In Exodus 3, God calls Moses to take his first steps in following Him, revealing how holiness sets the tone for our journey of faith. Join us as we explore what it means to start off on the right foot with God and see how it all points to Jesus Christ.

Moses created a song of praise to God as our Creator, Conqueror, and Covenantal Savior.  That song points us to what we have in Jesus. Fortunately, what we have in Jesus is so much more than we can realize. The post A Song Like No Other… for a God Like No Other appeared first on Reston Presbyterian Church .
