Moses. Post one, the wilderness
0:06
encounter. Exodus 3:1-2. There the angel
0:10
of the Lord appeared to him in flames of
0:12
fire from within a bush. Lesson: God met
0:16
Moses in isolation, not in Egypt's
0:18
palace. Sometimes God's greatest
0:20
revelations come after seasons of
0:22
wandering and quiet preparation.
0:25
Challenge. Could your current wilderness
0:28
be the very place God plans to reveal
0:31
himself? Hence, Greg. Post two, the bush
0:34
that would not burn. Exodus 3:2. Moses
0:38
saw that though the bush was on fire, it
0:40
did not burn up. Lesson, the bush
0:43
symbolized divine power contained within
0:46
weakness, fire without destruction.
0:49
Likewise, God's spirit refineses but
0:52
does not consume those who walk with
0:54
him. Challenge. What parts of your life
0:57
are being purified, not destroyed by
1:03
Post three. Take off your shoes. Exodus
1:07
3:5. Do not come any closer. Take off
1:10
your sandals, for the place where you
1:12
are standing is holy ground. Lesson. God
1:16
invited Moses to approach, but only in
1:18
humility. Removing his sandals
1:20
symbolized leaving behind human effort
1:23
and entering divine presence.
1:25
Challenge. What symbol of surrender
1:27
might God be asking you to lay aside in
1:30
his presence today? Word Greg,
1:33
host four, God of the covenant. Exodus
1:36
3:6. I am the God of your father, the
1:40
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and
1:42
the God of Jacob. Lesson: Goded Moses's
1:46
calling in his unchanging covenant.
1:49
Before giving Moses an assignment, he
1:51
reminded him of his eternal
1:54
challenge. How does remembering God's
1:56
promises strengthen your confidence to
1:58
obey him? Greg post 5 40 years of
2:03
preparation. Acts 7:30. After 40 years
2:06
had passed, an angel appeared to Moses
2:09
in the flames of a burning bush. Lesson
2:12
the decades Moses spent tending sheep
2:14
weren't wasted. They were training for
2:17
shephering God's people. God never
2:19
rushes holy preparation.
2:22
Challenge. Are you patient enough to let
2:24
God shape you before he sends you? Greg
2:29
post six, God's provision for Moses
2:32
weakness. Exodus 4:10. Who gave human
2:35
beings their mouths? Now go. I will help
2:38
you speak and will teach you what to
2:40
say. Lesson. God doesn't choose the
2:43
eloquent. He equips the obedient. Moses
2:47
insecurity became the place where God's
2:49
power shone brightest.
2:52
Challenge. What weakness might God be
2:55
waiting to transform into his strength?
2:59
Post seven. The fire that draws us near.
3:02
Exodus 3:3. I will go over and see this
3:05
strange sight. Why the bush does not
3:07
burn up. Lesson. The fire's mystery
3:11
pulled Moses closer. God still uses
3:14
divine curiosity to draw heart seeking
3:17
meaning into encounters with his glory.
3:21
challenge. What holy curiosity might God
3:24
be stirring in you right now?
3:28
post eight. He hearing God's call.
3:30
Exodus 3:4. When the Lord saw that he
3:33
had gone over to look, God called to him
3:35
from within the bush. Lesson, God spoke
3:38
only after Moses turned aside. Divine
3:41
revelation often follows our willingness
3:43
to pause and pay attention. Challenge.
3:47
What distraction do you need to turn
3:49
away from to truly hear God's voice?
3:52
Read post 9, God reveals his name.
3:56
Exodus 3:14, God said to Moses, "I am
3:59
who I am." Lesson: In one moment, Moses
4:03
learned that God is not defined by time,
4:05
limitation, or comparison.
4:08
I am means he is everything we lack.
4:12
Challenge. Where do you need to remember
4:14
that God is present, powerful, and
4:20
Post 10. Moses, the friend of God.
4:23
Exodus 33:11. The Lord would speak to
4:26
Moses face to face as one speaks to a
4:29
friend. Lesson: The man who once hid his
4:32
face from the burning bush grew into a
4:34
friend who spoke with God intimately.
4:37
Obedience leads to deeper friendship.
4:40
Challenge. What step of obedience could
4:43
deepen your friendship with God today?
