The burning bush experience was a pivotal turning point in Moses’ life. He went from a wilderness shepherd to the leader of Israel. He went from knowing little to nothing about God to having a personal encounter with the Creator of the world. It was definitely a life-changing experience!
So far, we’ve spent the last couple weeks looking at how holy ground is where we stand in the presence of God and where we receive our calling. Today, we’re going to look at our final point and take-away from this amazing event: holy ground is where intimate relationship with God starts. How did I get this point? Let’s jump back into Exodus 3 and I’ll show you.

Last week, we looked at the beginning of Moses’ burning bush experience. We left off at Exodus 3:6 where Moses realized the identity of God and was filled with healthy fear. However, God wasn’t done with Moses.
The burning bush experience’s purpose wasn’t just to introduce Moses to the God of his forefathers. No, God had a calling for Moses and a job for him to accomplish. Therefore, we’re going to continue on in this riveting narrative and discover that holy ground is also where God reveals His calling. Moses, the former prince of Egypt, became a shepherd, taking care of his father-in-law’s flocks. He married, started a family, and pretty much settled down and made his home in the land of Midian. He probably expected to spend the rest of his days taking care of sheep. But God had other plans.
