Exodus Study: The Calling of Moses (Exodus 3)

At the burning bush in Exodus 3, God interrupts the ordinary routine of an 80-year-old shepherd named Moses and forever changes the direction of his life. Alone on the backside of the desert, Moses encounters a bush that burns but is not consumed—and there, on holy ground, God calls him by name. In this message, we explore how God uses deserts as training grounds, how His presence turns ordinary places into holy moments, and how He reveals Himself as the great “I AM” — the God who sees, hears, and knows the burdens of His people. Though Moses felt unworthy and unable, God promised, “Certainly I will be with thee,” reminding us that when God calls, He also equips. This sermon will encourage you that God still meets His people in unexpected places, still hears their cries, and still sends them out in His strength to do what they could never do on their own.
