When the Lord—from a burning bush—called Moses to be His prophet, the sheepherder initially resisted the call. Moses came up with a variety of excuses—the first of which shows that his perspective was completely out of whack.
Our Lord is full of surprises! His leading includes twists, turns, ups, downs, potholes, and drop-offs, which shake us up. The fact we can rarely guess the ultimate destination only adds to the adventure.
In this message, we’ll meet an obscure, 80-year-old shepherd whose failure broke his spirit and left him feeling “over the hill” and washed up. Little did he know—he was on the verge of something great.
When God wants us in His service sometimes that means rearranging our priorities and putting our pursuits on hold.
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he applies lessons from Moses’ experience for every believer. The crux of Moses’ commissioning rested on God and His strength rather than on Moses’ ability. The same is true for you!
God’s faithfulness is unconditional, unending, and unswerving. Even in the face of death. He is the eternal I AM, the sovereign Lord of the universe. And you can trust Him with your very life.
Pastor Chuck Swindoll brings listeners into Exodus 3 and 4 to stand next to Moses and grasp the gravity of his burning-bush call from God. While Moses’ objections seemed humble at first, they were rooted in fear—fear of his own inadequacy, of Pharaoh’s response, and even of the reaction of his own people.
From Exodus 4, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores God’s special care and detailed plans for Moses. Chuck applies principles for every believer on God’s calling, God’s will, and God’s ways.
Reviewing Exodus 5 and 6, Pastor Chuck Swindoll recounts the anguish Moses felt as he waited for God to act. When things were harder than ever for Moses, however, he cultivated patience, wisdom, and dependence upon God.
Pharaoh’s heart was so hard, not even the destruction of the Egyptian landscape shook his evil resolve. Plague after plague descended upon the land in Exodus 7–10. Pastor Chuck Swindoll studies the relevance of each plague and vividly portrays what it was like to live through the disasters.
