Exodus 3: Moses sent
Warning

Slide 4

When you least expect it
Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

Slide 5

God shows up
2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.

Slide 6

He knows your name
4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

Slide 7

An unwitting answer
And Moses said, “Here I am.”

Slide 8

Deepening the relationship
5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

Slide 9

Knowing God's passion
7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.

Slide 10

Not in question form
10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Slide 11

So many questions, excuses
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

Slide 12

Classic God answer
12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”

Slide 13

Where is God sending you?
