Series: First Person
Kerry Shook
Exodus 3
''When the Lord saw that He had caught Moses' attention, God called to him from the bush, 'Moses! Moses!' 'Here I am!' Moses replied.'' Ex. 3:4 (NLT)
1. EMBRACE GOD'S CALLING
''So I have come to rescue them ... and lead them out of Egypt into their own good and spacious land. Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You will lead my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.'' Ex. 3:8,10 (NLT)
I'm called to influence
2. STOP GIVING GOD EXCUSES
Excuse #1
''But Moses pleaded with the Lord, 'O Lord, I'm just not a good speaker.... I'm clumsy with words.'' Ex. 4:10 (NLT)
''I have too many faults.''
Excuse #2
''Moses answered, 'What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, 'The LORD did not appear to you'? Ex. 4:1 (NIV)
''What will people think?''
Excuse #3
''But Moses said to God, 'Who am I, that I should go? ... God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.''' Ex. 3:11, 14 (NIV)
''I'm not spiritual enough.''
Excuse #4
''But Moses said, 'O Lord, please send someone else to do it.''' Ex. 4:13 (NIV)
''I'll sit this one out and let someone else do it.''

''So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. Ex. 4:4b (NIV)
