Smoke on the Mountain | Exodus 19:1–25 Pastor Ian Crooks | April 19, 2026 | Free Grace Vernon What happens when a holy God draws near to sinful people? In Exodus 19, Israel arrives at Mount Sinai—and the mountain erupts in smoke, fire, thunder, and trembling. This isn’t just a dramatic scene; it’s a powerful revelation of who God is. His holiness isn’t safe, manageable, or casual. And yet… He invites His people into relationship. ▶️ Watch, listen, and share If this message encouraged you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who needs to hear it. 📍 Join us in person Free Grace Vernon meets weekly in Vernon, BC.
