Last week we learned: God uses people to deliver people; a “deliverer” is someone who: sets free from restraint, rescues from evil or unburdens the oppressed; God uses suffering, failure and frustration to prepare deliverers. This week we’ll learn that God calls those who are His deliverers: In chapters three and four we’ll see God call Moses to his role in delivering Israel from Egypt.

There are numerous examples in the Bible of God calling people to a specific assignment in ministry: Abraham (Ge 12:1–3); Samuel (1Sa 3:1–10); Isaiah (Isa 6:1–13); Jeremiah (Jer 1:4–10); Ezekiel (Ezk 2:1–7); Jesus (Jn 1:29–34); Peter, James & John (Lk 5:1–11); Paul (Ac 9:1–18). Today we want to look more closely at how God calls deliverers.
