Unit Two: The Burning Bush Site

Lesson Objective: To discuss Moses' call from God to deliver Egypt.

Key Verse: Exodus 3:14

Lesson Text: Exodus 3:1-10


From a Prince to a Shepherd

It must have seemed to Moses that his glory days were over. But God was not through with him. The Bible tells us that one day while Moses was tending the sheep of his father-in-law, he saw a strange sight-a bush that was on fire, but not consumed.

God explained who He was and that He planned to use Moses to lead his people out of Egypt. However, Moses's argued with God that no one would listen to him; no one would want to follow him. While he acknowledged that God was the creator of the entire universe, in the same breath he was denying that God could make use of something (or someone) He had created!

Moses missed the whole point. God was not expecting him to have the ability to lead the Hebrews. He only wanted Moses to make himself available.

Prayer Commitment :
Identify "detours" that you may have taken in your walk with God. Pray specifically that YOU get back on track so that God can use YOU in a miraculous way! And don't doubt God's calling just be available to Him!
