I am a nobody: God's Answer to Moses Fear

Bethel Baptist Church, Laramie, WY Sunday, April 26, 2020 Pastor Nathan Sehi Moses is given a tremendous and burdensome task in Ex 3:7-10. It was task that even the boldest of leaders would fear. Exodus 3:11-4:17 describes the fear and excuses of Moses, but also the tremendous answer of God. What does God from a burning bush tell Moses to give him the courage to confront Pharaoh and deliver Israel out of Egypt. Exodus 3:11-12 begins with Moses overzealous humility – I am a nobody. The presence and promises of God should empower us to follow the will of God in our lives. Application: - Fear should not prevent us from following God. - Our number one qualification for serving God is God himself. - Each one of us should look for God's leading in our lives. (Eph 4:11-16) Response: a) How can our personal weaknesses cause us to run from God’s will? What personal weaknesses tempt you to run from God? Moses 1st Fear: I am a nobody.
