Exodus 4:14-23
![]() What if what you believed about God was not true-how would you know it? And if you were wrong about what you believed about God, would you want to know it? Would you be willing to admit it? Would you be willing to say to yourself and others- I have believed things about God and His church and my life that are not true. To be a growing Christian, we must continually examine and reexamine our beliefs about God. Growing Christians are constantly changing Christians. When we are through changing-we are through. We see this need for change modeled in the life of Moses. In order for Moses to obey God, he needed to make major adjustments in his life-adjustments that included what he thought about God, His ways and His purposes. Exodus 4:14-23 Video of Message ![]() More often than not, God calls His people to assignments they cannot do in their own strength. Time and time again, God has asked His people to trust Him with the invisible and believe Him for the impossible. When those assignments come, we can expect to experience what many of God's saints in Scripture experienced- a crisis of belief. As we resume our study of Exodus, we read how the burning bush encounter with God created an internal struggle for Moses he had never experienced-it became for him a crisis of belief. Exodus 4:1-17 Video of Message ![]() People who hear voices in their head are usually considered mentally imbalanced. People who claim to hear God’s voice are considered even more imbalanced; that’s how cults get started! Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, Sun Myung Moon, Warren Jeffs, L. Ron Hubbard; the list goes on and on of men who claimed to hear the voice of God and eventually wound up in jail or dead. One of the challenges facing Christians is acknowledging that God does speak to His children today but also acknowledging that not every voice is His. The challenge is to know when the voice we hear is God's voice and not another's. Our series in Exodus provides more insight on how to recognize the voice of God in a wacko world. Exodus 3 Video of Message ![]() The idea that God created the Universe, the Earth and its people, then stepped away to let it run its own course is a foreign concept to Scripture. Rather than being distant, removed and unconcerned about the affairs of Earth, God is very much involved. Looking at the plight of the Israelites in Egyptian bondage, as well as the birth and call of Moses, we’ve begun to identify several important realities of God’s involvement on Earth. The burning bush experience of Exodus 3 teaches us that God delights to speak to His people personally and plainly. Exodus 3 Video of Message |
