"Interceding for a Sinful Nation" (Ex. 32:7-35) - Ki Tisa - 3/14/25

“Interceding for a Sinful Nation: Standing in the Gap”


When the people of Israel turned to idolatry and built a golden calf, God’s wrath was kindled. He was ready to destroy them and start over with Moses. But instead of standing aside, Moses was pierced with compassion and stood in the gap, pleading for mercy. His selfless, God-centered prayer changed everything.


In this powerful teaching from Exodus 32, we explore:

✅ How Moses’ intercession was pierced by compassion for a sinful nation.

✅ Why effective intercession prioritizes God’s glory over personal gain.

✅ How aligning our prayers with God’s promises moves His heart.


Moses reflected the heart of Yeshua, who intercedes for us even now. But the call to intercede isn’t just for Moses or Yeshua—it’s for us today. Are we willing to stand in the gap and cry out for mercy?
