Moses and the Burning Bush

SUMMARY Have you ever quit something because you felt like a failure? Have you ever failed at something over and over and over again? As we continue our series, BC, Nate Hilgenkamp examines the life of Moses, teaching us how God is not done with us until our dying breath. KEY TAKEAWAYS -God delights in delivering us. -Moses thought his failure was final. -We all pass along what we believe about God by the words we use and how we live our lives. -Do your words teach others that things will always stay the same or that God can change things? -No one is permanently stuck or too far gone for God. No one. -God fights for our freedom. -Over and over God draws Moses out of danger and persecution. -Moses means “drawn up,” which is exactly what God did to Moses himself and what He used Moses to do for the Israelites. -God flips Moses’ focus. -Moses was so consumed with himself and his own failures, not on God and who He is and what He can do. -Stop looking at yourself and your failures and start looking at God. -What are you prone to focus on above God? -Your perceived sense of independence is crushing you. -The only way to experience freedom is giving up and giving God control of your life. -Beware of having a “someone else” mindset and faith. It is selfish and not of the Lord. -Moses was mopey, Jesus was eager. Which one are you more prone to being like? -Will you say yes to what God has for you? Will you submit to Him?
