    Miracles For Moses Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,278 views

    God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive - a little like "parlor tricks." Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?

    (Sing) “I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows. I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way. I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r will still be heard. ...read more

     | 9,552 views

    Moses didn't want to do what God asked. He didn't think he was worthy or capable... and he was right. So what made the difference in his life?

    Years ago there was a comedian named Milton Berle who wrote this poem: “I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
