May I Have Your Attention, Please?

In this message we will look at Moses encounter with God as depicted in Exodus Chapter 3. When God is about to rescue his people, whether it's this story or any of the other stories in the scriptures what we find is that God always begins by showing up in a unique way. Moses hears from God in a burning bush. God tells him to leave where he has been hiding and return to Egypt to rescue the Israelites. Moses comes up with excuses as to why he can't do it, but God has answers - He says that He will be with Moses throughout, and that He is all powerful so Moses should not worry. We will see parallels between Moses' story and ours. We don't have a burning bush, but we have something even better; the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. God will call us to be audacious, but we must not be like Moses and come up with excuses. If we do, we will miss out on what God has in store for us. Instead, if we heed God's call, not only will our lives be transformed, but also those around us.
