God, What's Your Name? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 23, 2021

Moses didn't want to go to Egypt. But why would he bring up the issue of what God's name was, and what can God's answer to Moses mean to us?

So, she sent her four-year-old Chelsea upstairs to ‘get Daddy’s name on the back of the check.’ Her daughter came back, handed it to her mother, and said, “I knew his name so I did it ...read more

Miracles For Moses Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021

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

Sermon # 11 - What's In Your Hand? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 20, 2023

Every small and insignificant thing that is in our hands can become a mighty tool in the hands of our glorious and mighty God. So, what is it that we must do to accomplish extraordinary things for the Lord? Read on to know how this could become a possibility in your life.

In Exodus 15:6, we read “Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power.”(NRSV) 1. The Hand of God God’s hand is not only ‘glorious in power’ but as we read in another version His hand is also ‘Majestic in power’.

The Burning Bush Call Of Moses Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 3, 2022

Moses put his neck on the line once. And he felt like a failure. Is he willing to be that vulnerable again? Is he willing to trust God with his life? That is the challenge of Moses. That is the challenge for everyone who follows the call of God.

The call of God is as unique for every individual as is every person. For Gideon it was the fleece and that differs widely from Ezekiel and his lofty falling facedown vision of the throne of God. Isaiah with the burning coal placed on his lips differs from Paul on the Damascus Road and his ...read more

The Reluctant Prophet 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

In Exodus, chapter 3, when God called Moses to do something great for Him, how did Moses respond? He was very reluctant!

Look at Exodus 3:1-9, we read, “Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: ...read more

Exodus 4:1-17 Equipped For The Call

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 21, 2024

God has called Moses to deliver His people. Now God equips Moses with everything he will need to fulfill the calling on his life.

To make the fourth chapter of Exodus more understandable, we need to backtrack and understand the backstory. In most great stories, there's a backstory, and once you're clear on that, everything else makes more sense. So, if you would turn with me to Exodus chapter 3, we're going to ...read more
