Sermon Text: Exodus 19-20

God has always had a plan for all his creation. The Exodus Journey is not simply a story of a group of people that are the sole recipients of God’s love. Rather the Israelites represent a chosen group of people who experience the love of God in their Journey towards the promised land. They represent a transformed life, exuding God’s presence and turning others from false gods to the one true God. God has called us to do the same, and as believers we are to represent Him to our world.
