Life Of Moses - Part 4: Ascending The Mountain

In this message from the Life of Moses series, Fr Elijah reveals the pattern of spiritual ascent. We leave Egypt, pass through the waters, endure the wilderness, receive heavenly food, battle Amalek within, and finally climb the mountain into the dazzling darkness where God meets us. Using Exodus 19 and St Gregory of Nyssa, he explains why we must wash our garments, leave our animal instincts at the foot of the mountain, push through thunder and clouds, and let the Word of God be the loudest trumpet in our lives. The goal is not behavior modification but becoming Christ — shining with His radiance for the world.

Climbing the mountain of God is not for the faint of heart — but it is where transformation happens.

In this talk, Fr Elijah walks through the spiritual journey of Moses and shows how each of us must:
• Leave Egypt, the things that enslave us
• Pass through impossible moments where God delivers
• Walk through the wilderness and learn real trust
• Receive heavenly manna in Scripture and the Eucharist
• Confront the Amalek inside us: pride, anger, lust, jealousy
• Wash our garments and leave the animal instincts behind
• Climb through thunder, clouds, and confusion
• Enter the dazzling darkness where words fail and God is near

Moses came down from the mountain shining. That is the goal. Not just to stop sinning, but to be Christ in the world.

The only question is: do you want to climb?
