TODAY’S SERMON
TITLE: Theophany: The God Of Thunder
TEXT: Exodus 19
SPEAKER: Pastor Jenna Strahm
When we hear about God showing up as thunder, lightning, fire, and smoke, we often think of a God who is trying to intimidate us or scare us into obedience. But Exodus 19 tells a different story! At Mount Sinai, the Israelites are reassured of God’s presence and God’s holiness. Both for them and for us today, the God of Thunder is good news!
SERMON NOTES
Israel’s experience at Mount Sinai
- Exodus 19:2-6

“Fear of the LORD”
- Exodus 19:16-20
- Exodus 20:18-20
Fear of the LORD is not just a reaction to who God is, it’s a reaction to who we are not.
God had a plan all along to deal with our sin problem.
- Romans 8:3-4
