The God Who Calls (2 of 16)
Series: Exodus
Jim Perdue
Exodus 3-4
Intro/Attention
This morning, we continue our sermon series in the book of Exodus. It's a series I'm calling, Who Is This God? Throughout the book of Exodus, we learn so much about the nature and character of God. Last week we saw how God protected His people and provided for them even through difficulty and adversity.
Today, from Exodus 3-4, God finds His prophet Moses in the Midian Desert and calls him to an important task. The title of the message today is, The God Who Calls. God calls imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. READ 3:1-12; 4:21-23, 29-31

We feel like we can press the red button or the green button depending on how we feel on the given day. Maybe we're a little tired or worn out, we when we see God's name pop up on the Caller ID, we pretend like we're not available and don't answer. I know a bunch of people who sit in church each week who have basically said that to God. ''Don't call me, because I'm not answering. Don't ask me to do anything, because I'm not doing it. Don't expect me to serve, because I've paid my dues. Don't look at me, it's someone else's turn.*
