0:00.0	Today on Summit Life with JD Greer, typically we do not encounter God through a lifetime of philosophical
0:05.7	reasoning. Instead we encounter God through an experience that we have where we're simply
0:10.7	confronted by the fact that he is and that he is speaking. He just is. Many times that encounter
0:18.1	begins as it did with Moses with an unanswered question.
0:30.8	Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor JD Greer. As always, I'm your host Molly Vittovich.
0:36.8	Throughout history people have invented and named mythological gods, but the God of the Bible
0:41.9	was not invented by mankind and unlike Zeus or Thor, he chose his own name. Today on Summit Life,

1:40.5	make all my goodness past before you and I will proclaim before you my name the Lord when God
1:46.4	is going to reveal his glory. It's not through this image of brightness or anything like that.
1:50.3	It's by declaring his name, chapter 34, verse 5, and the Lord then descended in the cloud.
1:55.0	And he proclaimed there to Moses the Lord, Yahweh the Lord, a God who is merciful and gracious,
2:00.8	slow to anger in a bounding and steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for
2:06.7	thousands, for giving iniquity and transgression and sin. But who will by no means clear the guilty,
