This is Holy Ground; Exodus 3:1-10

One of our favorite songs at Kansas Christian Church is "Holy Ground." When we sing it, I can look around the room and watch as my friends become acutely aware of the presence of God. We sing the line, "And I know there are angels all around," and I genuinely believe we do. The song builds off several Bible passages, most notably Moses' encounter with God through the burning bush. But while our song is beautiful, Moses' story is strange and lonely. He's out there because of his guilt and shame. He's been running away from his responsibilities, and yet that's precisely where God encounters him. What if "holy ground" is not a place of beauty but a place of pain and dread? What if God meets you in a desert place in your life and calls you to take off your shoes so that nothing will come between you and him?
