God, You Want Me To Do What? Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 9, 2013

This is the fourth message in a series based on Moses and shows that being God's man is never easy. This message examines how God often calls us out of our comfort zones.

The majority of us would agree that failure is quite unpleasant. In fact failure often causes guilt and ultimately shame.
