Today’s Sermon
Moses – Man of Freedom
The Reluctant Warrior
Exodus 3:11-4:17
The burning bush caught Moses’ attention to his previous calling. The oppression of the people of God required a great liberator and deliverer. After catching his attention and reinforcing His call, Moses now objects to the call. His desert experience was a time of preparation but initially Moses reveals that he has lost confidence during the desert time. He did not respond victoriously initially. He had to grow into the job.

A conversation with God:
  • 5 objections by Moses,
  • 5 responses by God
  • The 6th response by Moses: “I’ll go”
