Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have spent the last two Sunday evenings looking at God's encounter with Moses at the burning bush. We saw what the sign of the burning bush revealed about the nature of God as fire. We saw that our God sends a man to accomplish His purposes regarding the salvation of His people. And tonight, we will look a little more at the man whom He sends. How does God prepare a man for the task of saving His people? He does it by talking to him, empowering him, and patiently working through all of that man's objections to doing God's work.
