WHEN GOD IS IN THE BUSH. [WHEN AN ORDINARY LIFE GETS FILLED WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY GOD] Exodus 3:1–6 KJV Moses encounters an ordinary desert bush that burns without being consumed. The wonder is not the bush itself but the presence of God in the bush. After forty years on the backside of the desert, Moses learns that past failure does not cancel God's present call. When God is in the bush, God can speak through an ordinary vessel, but He must also have control of that vessel. Submission, holiness, and surrender prepare a life for service. The bush did not need to be special because the God in the bush was extraordinary. The same truth applies to believers today: God is not searching for impressive vessels as much as surrendered ones. What God claims, we yield; what we yield, He accepts; what He accepts, He fills; and what He fills, He uses. The question is not what kind of bush we are. The question is whether God has control of the bush.

God is looking for a faithful child whom He can call to His work!

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

What does God expect from us when we feel that we don't have much to give? In Mark 14, a woman came to Jesus with an alabaster box of very precious ointment. Others criticized what she gave, but Jesus saw her heart and her faithfulness. His words about her are powerful: "She hath done what she could..." - Mark 14:8 KJB � Bible Hub +1 In this message, Brother Bartell reminds us that serving God is not about comparing what we can do with what someone else can do. God has given each of us different opportunities, abilities, resources, and seasons of life. The question is not, "Can I do what somebody else does?" The question is: Am I giving God what I can? Even when our strength, resources, or opportunities seem small, we can still honor the Lord with what He has placed in our hands.

The sermon explores the opening narrative of 1 Samuel, using Hannah's barrenness as a metaphor for the spiritual bankruptcy of Israel during a dark historical period. It highlights how Hannah responded to her suffering not with complaint but by pouring out her heart in humble, selfless prayer at the tabernacle. Rev. Batzig emphasizes that God often initiates His greatest works through human obscurity and hopelessness, turning barrenness into fruitfulness for His kingdom's advancement. By connecting Hannah's story to the broader redemptive history leading to King David and ultimately Jesus Christ, the message encourages believers to trust in God's ability to bring life and purpose out of despair. The central call is for the church to seek spiritual vitality through earnest prayer and reliance on God's grace rather than human effort.

The sermon explores the believer's true identity as a saint and the source of all spiritual blessings found exclusively in Christ. Contrasting human reliance on government or self-improvement with divine sovereignty, it emphasizes that salvation and standing before God are gifts of grace rather than results of works. Using illustrations such as the trained elephant and plastic surgery, the preacher argues against moralism and decisionism, urging listeners to abandon their focus on personal failure. The message highlights that believers are seated in heavenly places, possessing an inheritance secured by Jesus Christ's finished work. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a shift from self-dependence to total reliance on God's power and promises.

GOD SPEAKS TO HIS PEOPLE. Exodus 3:1–6, 11–15; 4:28–31 KJV In Exodus 3 and 4, God met Moses during an ordinary day and called him from the burning bush. Moses learned that God is holy, personal, and sufficient. When Moses asked, "Who am I?" God answered with the greater truth: "Certainly I will be with thee." God then revealed Himself as "I AM THAT I AM," showing that Moses's calling depended not upon Moses's strength but upon God's character and presence. Moses eventually carried God's message to Israel, the people believed, and they worshipped. The lesson reminds us that God speaks through the truth of His Word. Our responsibility is to listen reverently, trust Him completely, obey what He says, and share His truth with others. God speaks; we listen; we respond.
