<p><em>God invites you to come, but on His terms</em>. The Bible is clear—when God calls, He expects obedience. Are you showing up the way He asks or the way you prefer?</p><p>—&nbsp;</p><p>The burning bush wasn’t just a moment for Moses—it is an invitation to step into God’s presence and be transformed. Just like Moses, many of us have "shoes" on that can keep us from encountering God. These things—from significance and control to complacency and confusion—must be set aside if we want to fully encounter God.</p><p>How we respond to God’s invitation reveals how much we truly revere Him. Do we respond from a place of humble obedience or convenience?</p><p>What's holding you back?</p><h2>Scriptures Referenced</h2><p>Exodus 3:1-6; Matthew 6:16-18; Philippians 2:9-11; 1 Peter 1:13-16; Hebrews 4:16, 13:8</p><h2>Key Insights</h2><ul><li>When God tells you something, you’re expected to obey.</li><li>How many times do we show up and want to approach God on our own terms?</li><li>You might come the way you are, but you won’t leave that way.</li><li>We serve a holy God.</li><li>When it comes to fasting, it’s not about what you give up, it’s about who you give it up for.</li><li>The primary reason we fast is to be in the presence of God.</li><li>How we treat others is a direct reflection of how holy we believe God is.</li><li>You won’t obey a voice you don’t recognize.</li><li>Significant time in His presence will cause you to realize how small you are and how holy He is.</li><li>The primary reason we fast is to be in the presence of God.</li></ul><br/><p><h2>Prayer Targets</h2><p>Please join us in prayer for:</p><ul><li>A hunger for the Word.</li><li>Tears for the lost.</li><li>Answered prayers and shared testimonies.</li></ul><br/><h2>About Springhouse</h2><p>If you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.
