Exodus 3:7-10 God said go, Moses said no. Moses excuses for why he could not do what God was telling him to do in leading the Israelites out of Egypt was in essence saying no to God.
This document calls Christians to walk in holiness and defines holiness as sanctity and purity. It explains that God calls us to be holy and commands us to be holy like Him. The Bible teaches that those with impure hearts cannot enter God's kingdom. The document uses Daniel as an example of someone who was committed to not defiling himself and as a result, received favor and protection from God. It provides steps to living in holiness, such as repenting, renouncing sin, and resisting temptation.
it is impossible for us , being a human to be satisfied while we are in our physical life! King Solomon the wisest and the richest king said "everything is vanity". this message tells us that we can experience satisfaction through the presence God. therefore let us aim and aspire His presence above all things.

The document discusses the keys of prayer, faith, and obedience in hearing God's voice. It states that through regular prayer and developing a personal relationship with God, one can hear His voice in thoughts of encouragement. Having faith in God without proof is also important. Obedience to God by following His commands makes it easier to believe and trust Him. The document provides five ways to practice hearing God's voice: setting aside daily quiet time, being still, not demanding answers from God, expecting to hear from Him, and being aware of messages from angels.
We know the dictionary definition of worship (a feeling, or devotion to a deity), and we have read John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"; but, what does the Bible teach us about the subject of worship? This is a series of lessons that gets to the heart of worship and what it really means for Christians.
The document discusses how to pray according to Jesus' teachings in the Lord's Prayer. It covers avoiding hypocritical and vain prayers, the importance of closet praying, fellowship with God rather than babbling, and that God knows our needs. The key aspects of praying the Jesus Way are being authentic pray-ers, communing with God privately through asking for our needs and His restoration.
The document discusses the meaning of "knowing God". It argues that knowing God is not merely subjective or based on feelings, but rather is an objective interactive relationship with God as revealed in Scripture. It involves understanding God's character through His Word and obeying His commands, not just having beliefs or experiences. Several Bible verses are presented showing that knowing God involves action, transforming the whole person, and having assurance rather than just feelings.
This passage from Matthew encourages believers to continually ask, seek, and knock in prayer to God. It assures that God, as a good Father, wants to give good gifts to His children when they pray. Specifically:
1) Jesus tells believers to keep asking, seeking, and knocking in prayer, with an attitude of dependence on God.
2) God promises to answer prayers and meet needs for those who ask, seek, and knock through devoted, active prayer.
3) Believers should rearrange their priorities and earnestly search for God through prayer until they find what they need.
4) Just as human fathers want to give good things to their children, God who conceived believers in love

Daniel was taken captive to Babylon along with other young men where they were to be trained and assimilated into Babylonian culture. They were given Babylonian names and fed the king's food, which likely included meat offered to idols. Daniel and his friends refused to eat the king's food or embrace the Babylonian names and lifestyle. God blessed them for their faithfulness by giving them superior understanding over the other trainees. They impressed Nebuchadnezzar with their wisdom and served faithfully until the time of Cyrus, demonstrating that God honors those who honor and remain faithful to Him, even in a foreign land.
In this lesson we show God's will for all mankind and the importance of doing His will. We examine the sermon on the mount. Both slides and audio can be found together at www.cmcoc.org
Sermon by: Brian Birdow
The document discusses five teaching sermons in Matthew and focuses on analyzing the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:1-13. It provides three key truths from the parable: 1) No one knows when Jesus is coming again, but it will be sudden. 2) When Jesus returns, one's inner spiritual preparations and relationship with Him will matter more than outward appearances. 3) There will come a time when it is too late to get ready for His return. The document also analyzes the meaning of "oil" in the parable as representing one's spiritual life and relationship with Christ.
Study Of The Law Part 2 - The 10 Commandments (1-3)Don McClain
The document discusses the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God. It provides background on the commandments, including how they are divided into the law toward God and toward others. The Ten Commandments formed the essence of the covenant between God and Israel. They established the highest moral code prior to Jesus. Each commandment is then examined individually, highlighting what it prohibited and why, with references to related Bible passages.
Worship is a privilege unique to Christians that allows them to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. It is a means of obeying God's command to worship him alone, nourishing one's spirit, and encouraging spiritual growth in oneself and others. True worship shows where one's priorities lie, expresses love for God, and provides an avenue for praising his name through spiritual gifts while communing with and showing thankfulness to God alone.
Ezekiel was a priest from Judah who prophesied during and after the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC. He emphasized reminding Judah of their sins that led to exile, prophesying judgment on gentile nations, and encouraging the people by prophesying future restoration. God's glory, or power over judgment, was a key theme. Ezekiel experienced visions as dreams to communicate spiritual truths. He commonly referred to the people of Israel as the "House of Israel." His call involved God instructing him to eat a scroll and then speak God's words to the rebellious people.
This document discusses Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus about being "born again" from John 3:1-10. It explains that being born again means being born of the Spirit, not just physically. It also examines four possible meanings of being "born of water and the Spirit." Additionally, it reviews popular views on free will and man's ability to choose salvation, concluding that the biblical view is that God alone deserves full credit for man's salvation since man is spiritually dead prior to being born again by God's grace.
The document contains multiple passages from the Bible discussing the relationship between God and humanity. It portrays God as the potter who forms people out of clay. Several passages describe how people stray from God but can repent and be reformed, like clay being reworked by the potter. The story of Peter denying Jesus but later being transformed shows how people can change when following God.
1) David served God's purpose in his generation by working humbly as a shepherd, fighting bravely against enemies of Israel like Goliath, waiting patiently for God to fulfill his promise of kingship, and leaving a godly legacy through his writings in the book of Psalms.
2) All Christians should seek to understand God's unique purpose and plan for their lives and serve Him faithfully in both their daily choices and through helping others learn about the gospel.
3) While God forgives sins, disobedience still has consequences; David's life provides an example of both God's forgiveness and the repercussions of wrongdoing.
This document discusses the different seasons of life and provides principles for navigating them. It notes that Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 presents contrasts that cover nearly every life event, and that life has seasons that are beyond our control. The key principles are: acceptance of circumstances as God's appointed seasons; trusting that God has made all things fitting in their time; and maximizing each season to discover God and grow from difficulties rather than getting stuck in them. The overall message is to accept the current season, believe God is with you, choose how to respond, and find the gift within it.
This is the greatest verse in the bible, it demonstrates the Love of God for man and how God was willing to give the very best thing he had to save us from our sins...
The document discusses biblical prophecies about the end times from books such as Daniel and Revelation. It analyzes prophecies about four kingdoms that would rule Israel and the world, culminating in a final world kingdom. It asserts that current global events like wars and rumors of wars match Jesus' description of signs that precede his second coming. The document aims to show that biblical prophecy provides confidence about what will happen in the end times.
Genesis 15-17 details God's covenant with Abraham. God promises Abraham that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars and that he will possess the land of Canaan. Abraham believes God and it is credited to him as righteousness. God establishes the covenant by having Abraham sacrifice animals and pass between their halves, and promises the Israelites will be enslaved for 400 years before returning to Canaan. Sarai gives her servant Hagar to Abraham to bear a child, and Hagar conceives Ishmael. God renames Abraham and Sarai, changes Sarai's name to Sarah, and establishes circumcision as the sign of the covenant, promising Abraham many descendants and kings through Isaac despite his and Sarah's old age.
The document provides an introduction to the Book of Psalms. It notes that there are 150 Psalms, or possibly 151. It discusses the various emotions expressed in the Psalms like love for God, sorrow over sin, and trust during difficult times. The document explains that 'Psalms' comes from the Hebrew word 'Tehillim' meaning praises. Most of the Psalms were written by King David, but some were written by others like Solomon, Moses, and sons of Korah. The Psalms were collected and edited over different time periods from Moses in the 15th-13th century BC to the exilic and post-exilic period in the 7th century BC. The document outlines some key themes of the Psalms like
This document discusses the development of human senses from an embryo to adulthood and compares it to the development of spiritual senses. It notes that each of the five physical senses - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - emerge at different points in fetal and infant development. It then explores how each spiritual sense - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - relates to discerning spiritual truths and realities. The document emphasizes that regularly exercising our spiritual senses through reading Scripture, prayer, and obedience helps them to mature so we can better distinguish good from evil.
This document summarizes the biblical account of God's covenant with Noah found in Genesis chapters 6-9. It discusses key points of the covenant including that it was made between God, Noah, and all living creatures after the flood to repopulate the earth. The covenant established that man would have dominion over animals, a change in man's diet to include meat but forbid eating blood, capital punishment for murder, and God's promise to never again destroy all life with a flood as symbolized by the rainbow. The Noahic covenant established the rules and authority for man's governance after the flood and remains in effect today.
This document discusses concepts related to leaving spiritual bondage and mediocrity, represented by Egypt. It suggests that even faithful Christians can find themselves trapped in various forms of Egypt. God calls his people to leave their personal Egypt through revelations and convictions.
When Israel left Egypt, they faced opposition from 10 Egyptian gods representing 10 excuses for staying in bondage. The document examines the first 3 gods - Hapi the river god representing dependence on people or things for life; Heket the frog goddess representing indecision about leaving Egypt; and Geb the dust god representing feeling insignificant. It suggests God judges these "gods" by plaguing the things people depend on to provoke their exodus from bondage.

Lesson 1 of 2 on the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. This lesson focuses on the New Testament Evidence that Christ is God, including John 1, Hebrews 1 and Colossians 1.
This document discusses what Christians believe about Jesus Christ based on scripture. It states that believers hold that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross and was resurrected. The document explores how Jesus was fully God and fully man, discussing biblical passages that show his deity and humanity. It also explains reasons for Jesus' incarnation such as being able to understand human temptation and provide an example of suffering. Finally, it makes comparisons between Jesus as the Lamb of God and the Passover lamb in the Old Testament.
The document discusses the Christian journey as paralleling the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. It states that for Christians, the world represents a wilderness that tests their faith through trials, just as the Israelites faced tests during their 40 years in the desert. However, it notes that God provides for believers' spiritual needs and security during this time, and promises a heavenly country, or Promised Land, for those who remain faithful to him. The document encourages Christians to endure hardships with confidence as they journey toward their eternal reward in the afterlife.

God used Joseph and Moses to fulfill His promise to Abraham to make a great nation and be a blessing to all nations. Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt but rose to a position of power, saving the Egyptians and surrounding nations from famine. Moses was called by God to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, confronting Pharaoh with ten plagues that demonstrated God's power over the Egyptian gods. The Exodus was meant to show God's saving power and make His name known throughout the earth.
The document is a song that sets the Ten Commandments to a boogie beat and encourages dancing to remember God's rules.

The document provides background information on Moses and the story of Exodus from Egypt according to the Bible. It discusses Moses' upbringing, his killing of an Egyptian taskmaster, fleeing to Midian, and being called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. It also summarizes the plagues God sent to convince Pharaoh to free the Israelites, the Israelites' exodus across the Red Sea, God providing manna and quail in the wilderness, God giving the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, and the Israelites' worship of the golden calf while Moses was away.
History of Israel part 1 & 2 - PRRM Bible Study GroupAverell Gaspar
Old testament survey from Exodus to Nehemiah; series 1 of 5 parts. This is a 5-part series taking on the highlights of the Old Testament Historical books, except Genesis.
1) Jesus is fully God and fully man, as the incarnation of God in human form. He took on human nature but remained divine.
2) The New Testament asserts that Jesus was God who came in human flesh. He performed miracles and forgave sins that only God can do.
3) Jesus is the way to eternal life and is worthy of the same worship and honor as God. He created the world and will judge it at the end.
There’s a battle raging right now in the marketing and advertising worlds. At the risk of resorting to hyperbole, there are a lot of evil practices out there, fueled in part by sellers seeking cheap gains that conflict with buyers’ long-term interests, and buyers seeking the lowest cost and most convenient option rather than what will deliver the most business value.
This talk was given at a private event hosted by viola group and carmel ventures in September 2016. an article based on this was subsequently published in venturebeat.
This is an annotated version so that it is more readable.
The document summarizes the 10 plagues that God brought upon Egypt through Moses and Aaron as judgments against Pharaoh for refusing to let the Israelites go. Each plague targeted and revealed God's supremacy over an idol or god worshipped by the Egyptians, such as the Nile god Hapy for the plague of blood, and frog goddess Heqet for the plague of frogs. The final plague was the death of all firstborn, from Pharaoh to the lowliest slave, fulfilling God's warning to pass over homes with lamb's blood.

1. God appears to Moses in the form of a burning bush and tells him to go to Egypt to demand that the Pharaoh free the Israelites.
2. Moses doubts that the Israelites will believe that God has appeared to him, so God performs miracles through Moses like turning his staff into a snake and his hand becoming leprous and healed.
3. God tells Moses that his brother Aaron will speak for him since Moses doubts his own speaking abilities. Aaron meets Moses and Moses tells him what God has commanded.
April 15 2018 - Sunday service 7 Realities of Experiencing GodCatherine Lirio
God is always at work and pursuing a relationship with humanity. When God calls someone to a task, it requires faith and adjustments to current life. By obeying God despite inadequacies or difficulties, one comes to know God through experience as God accomplishes his work through that person. This is illustrated in the life of Moses, who despite his objections and crisis of belief, obeyed God in delivering the Israelites from Egypt. When Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, they directly experienced God's power and presence.
God asks Moses "What is that in your hand?" when calling him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. The staff Moses holds becomes instrumental in performing signs and wonders. God transforms the staff into a snake and back, and uses it to strike the Nile, turning the water to blood. The staff represents God's presence and power with Moses as he leads the Israelites out of Egypt and through the desert.
Trained servant - Chosen to be TrainedJansen Balao
We are chosen by God (John 15:16) but that choice is also a matter of our own decision. Let us respond to God's call and serve Him, openly and lovingly. Let us bring our bodies in subjection unto the mastery of whatever our hands findeth to do; to do them for the glory of God.
God is good.

The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Bible. It is a narrative of the Exodus, the origin myth of the Israelites leaving slavery in Biblical Egypt through the strength of their deity named Yahweh, who according to the story chose them as his people.
God confronted Moses through a burning bush that was not consumed by fire. God introduced himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God commissioned Moses to bring the Israelites out of Egypt but Moses objected, unsure of himself. However, God reassured Moses of his presence and told him a sign would be worshipping at the mountain after liberating the Israelites.
The document discusses several biblical passages related to God's calling of key figures like Abraham and Moses. It summarizes God calling Abraham to leave his home and bless all nations, and calls Moses to free the Israelites from Egyptian slavery despite Moses' doubts. The document also examines stories of the Israelites taking the promised land under Joshua and different views of how violent that conquest may have been portrayed.
Moses was pasturing his father-in-law's flock in the wilderness when he saw a burning bush that was not consumed by the flames. God called out to Moses from the bush and told him to remove his sandals as he was standing on holy ground. God revealed himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and told Moses he had seen the suffering of the Israelites in Egypt and would send Moses to Pharaoh to demand their release so he could bring them to the promised land. Moses objected that he was not qualified, but God assured him of his support and told Moses what he should say to convince the Israelites.
Moses and Aaron go before Pharaoh and demand that he let God's people go to worship in the wilderness, but Pharaoh refuses and instead increases their workload. When things get worse for the Israelites, God reassures Moses that He will force Pharaoh to let them go and reminds Moses that He is the Lord who appeared to the patriarchs and will redeem His people.
The document summarizes key events from the biblical book of Exodus. It describes how the Israelites were oppressed in Egypt, with Pharaoh ordering all Hebrew baby boys to be killed. It then tells of Moses fleeing Egypt after killing an Egyptian, and his encounter with God at the burning bush. God promises to deliver the Israelites from Egypt and bring them to the promised land. Despite plagues sent by God, Pharaoh refuses to let them go. Finally, God parts the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to escape, but the pursuing Egyptian army is drowned. The Israelites then journey through the wilderness toward Mount Sinai.
The Israelites grumbled against Moses for lack of water after escaping Egypt. God provided water from a bitter spring and later manna and quail in the wilderness. However, the people continued complaining, testing God. After arriving at Rephidim without water, Moses struck a rock at Horeb on God's command, providing water. The Amalekites attacked Israel and were defeated after Moses held up his staff. Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, advised selecting other leaders to help judge smaller cases and share the workload with Moses.
God calls Moses to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. Moses questions his ability, but God reassures him and promises to be with him. God tells Moses about the oppression of the Israelites and His plan to free them and bring them to the promised land of Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey. Moses is to gather the elders of Israel and request that Pharaoh release them to worship God for three days in the wilderness. God will harden Pharaoh's heart but ultimately cause him to let the people go after displaying miracles.
1) God is described as eternal, having existed before creation and will exist forever.
2) Moses encounters a burning bush that is not consumed by the flames, where God speaks to him.
3) God identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and tells Moses he will send him to Pharaoh to demand that the Israelites be freed from slavery in Egypt.
What is the Christian's mandate and responsibility in the world? Why are we dilatus in spite of the obvious needs and urgent cries of the world? Why are we Christians blatantly disobedient in spite of our Lord's command? Moses' five objections to obeying God's call provides some clues.
Power Point presentation slides on an introductory lesson on the Ten Commandments by Danny Scotton Jr of Alpha Baptist Church in Willingboro, NJ. Covers some background and context of the Ten Commandments, as well as the key, first commandment.
Blog post: http://bit.ly/10Cs-Pt1
The document is a Bible timeline that outlines important people and events from Creation to the present day "Church/Missions Age". It includes details about Abraham and his descendants, the Exodus led by Moses out of Egypt, the divided kingdom of Israel, exile and restoration of Jerusalem, and the life of Jesus. The lesson objective is to connect the events of the Exodus in delivering Israel out of Egypt to God's promise to Abraham, and to encourage students that crying out to God in hardship is heard.

Genesis 47:13-15 Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 15 So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." There are a number of reasons that money fails.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. Exodus 3:7-10 And the Lord said: "I have surely
seen the oppression of My people who are in
Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their
taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. [8] So I
have come down to deliver them out of the hand
of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that
land to a good and large land, to a land flowing
with milk and honey, to the place of the
Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and
the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
[9] Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children
of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen
the oppression with which the Egyptians
oppress them. [10] Come now, therefore, and I
will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My
people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.“
3. EXCUSES
A. I have heard all sorts of excuses in my
time from people who didn't want to
serve the Lord or didn't want to attend
church.
B. In Exodus 3:1-10 God called Moses to
go back to Egypt to deliver the
Israelites.
C. Immediately Moses began to make
excuses.
D. When we make excuses for not doing
what God says, we are in essence
saying “no” to God.
4. I. HE WAS UNWORTHY
Exodus 3:11-12 But Moses said to
God, "Who am I that I should go to
Pharaoh, and that I should bring the
children of Israel out of Egypt?" [12]
So He said, "I will certainly be with
you. And this shall be a sign to you
that I have sent you: When you have
brought the people out of Egypt, you
shall serve God on this mountain."
5. I. HE WAS UNWORTHY."
A. Moses asks, "Who am I that I should go to
Pharaoh..."
B. Moses came from a nation of slaves and
might have considered himself unworthy for
that reason.
C. He might have thought of himself as
unqualified because he had killed a man.
D. When God calls us, we often can think of
things that make us unworthy to serve God.
E. God's answer is very simple "I will be with
you."
F. We are all unqualified in one way or another,
but when God calls us He will be with us to
enable us.
6. II. HE WAS UNKNOWING - Exodus 3:13-22 Then Moses
said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of
Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent
me to you,' and they say to me, 'What is His name?' what
shall I say to them?" [14] And God said to Moses, "I AM
WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the
children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' " [15]
Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the
children of Israel: 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God
of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has
sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My
memorial to all generations.' [16] Go and gather the
elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord God
of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of
Jacob, appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited
you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; [17] and I
have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt
to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the
Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the
Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." ‘>>>
7. [18] Then they will heed your voice; and you shall
come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of
Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The Lord God of
the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let
us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that
we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.' [19] But I am
sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no,
not even by a mighty hand. [20] So I will stretch out
My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which
I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.
[21] And I will give this people favor in the sight of
the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you
shall not go empty-handed. [22] But every woman
shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells
near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold,
and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons
and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the
Egyptians."

people.
C. God gave Moses the answers that
were needed.
D. God will help our ignorance when we
are truly serving Him.
9. III. HE WAS UNAUTHORIZED (IN ISRAEL'S EYES) -
Exodus 4:1-9 Then Moses answered and said, "But
suppose they will not believe me or listen to my
voice; suppose they say, 'The Lord has not
appeared to you.' " [2] So the Lord said to him,
"What is that in your hand?" He said, "A rod." [3]
And He said, "Cast it on the ground." So he cast it
on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses
fled from it. [4] Then the Lord said to Moses, "Reach
out your hand and take it by the tail" (and he
reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a
rod in his hand), [5] "that they may believe that the
Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to
you.“>>>
10. [6] Furthermore the Lord said to him, "Now put your
hand in your bosom." And he put his hand in his
bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand
was leprous, like snow. [7] And He said, "Put your
hand in your bosom again." So he put his hand in
his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and
behold, it was restored like his other flesh. [8] "Then
it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the
message of the first sign, that they may believe the
message of the latter sign. [9] And it shall be, if they
do not believe even these two signs, or listen to
your voice, that you shall take water from the river
and pour it on the dry land. And the water which you
take from the river will become blood on the dry
land."

Then Moses said to the Lord, "O my
Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before
nor since You have spoken to Your
servant; but I am slow of speech and
slow of tongue." [11] So the Lord said to
him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or
who makes the mute, the deaf, the
seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the
Lord? [12] Now therefore, go, and I will
be with your mouth and teach you what
you shall say."
13. IV. HE WAS UNABLE
A. Moses appealed to his handicap. He
claimed to be "slow of speech". Vs. 10

that God was his creator and that God
would be with his mouth and would
teach him what to say. Vss. 11-12
14. V. HE WAS UNAVAILABLE - Exodus 4:13-17 But
he said, "O my Lord, please send by the hand of
whomever else You may send." [14] So the anger
of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He
said: "Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I
know that he can speak well. And look, he is also
coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he
will be glad in his heart. [15] Now you shall speak
to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will
be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will
teach you what you shall do. [16] So he shall be
your spokesman to the people. And he himself
shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to
him as God. [17] And you shall take this rod in
your hand, with which you shall do the signs."

burning bush.
B. God talked with Moses intimately.
C. God answered all of Moses' objections.

Moses problems.

FROM WHAT HELD HIM BACK) - Exodus 4:18-
20 So Moses went and returned to Jethro his
father-in-law, and said to him, "Please let me
go and return to my brethren who are in
Egypt, and see whether they are still alive."
And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace." [19]
And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, "Go,
return to Egypt; for all the men who sought
your life are dead." [20] Then Moses took his
