I. INTRODUCTION

II. THE CALL TO ALL (Exodus 3-4)

A. There are no un-called people! (Exodus 3:1-10)

1. “ . . . I must turn aside and see this sight.”

III. RESISTING THE CALL

A. Moses has five very strong objections to the call of God on his life.

1. Moses’ objection: “Who am I?” (v3:11)

• God’s response (v3:12)

2. Moses’ objection: “Who are you?” (v3:13)

• God’s response (v3:15-22)

3. Moses’ objection: “What if?” (v4:1)

• God’s response (v4:2)

4. Moses’ objection: “I am not gifted!” (v4:10)

• God’s response (v4:12)

5. Moses’ objection: “Send someone else!” (v4:13)

• God’s response (v4:14-16)

IV. ANSWERING THE CALL

A. What is it that God is calling you to?

B. How do you answer the call?

V. CONCLUSION

FURTHER DISCUSSION:

As we continue to move Upward - loving God, Inward - loving others, and Outward - loving the world, we encourage you to take these questions, get with a few people who have listened to today’s talk, and really dive in to what God might be saying to you.

• Have you been living an inverted Christianity in which God follows

and serves you instead of the other way around?

• What has that looked like? How has it left you feeling?

• How does a call to spiritual adventure versus spiritual boredom

strike you?

• What is it inside you that resonates with that call?
