Text: Exodus 4

Big idea: Disobedience is disastrous, so we must rejoice in God’s patience, relying on God’s provision. 

Objection 1 - "They won’t listen" (4-9)

Ex. 14:31

2 Cor. 4:7

Objection 2 - "I’m not equipped" (10-12)

Objection 3 - "There has to be someone else" (13)

Objection 4 - The quiet refusal to obey (24-26)

"(This) is a shocking reminder how strange the Old Testament can be.”  

Application:

1. Let us obey, rejoicing in God's patience

Rom. 2:4

2. Let us obey, relying on God's provision
