7And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

The sermon initiates a character sketch of Moses, drawing primarily from the book of Exodus. It begins by reading from Exodus chapter 3, detailing God’s call to Moses and His promise to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. This message then pivots to explore the defining characteristic of Moses: his meekness. Despite Moses’ initial reluctance and perceived inadequacies, God chose him, demonstrating that even a “broken individual” can be used for divine purpose. The sermon emphasizes that God helps put the pieces of our lives back together, and He gives us purpose, contrasting this with aimless wandering.
Meekness, as described in this sermon, is not weakness but rather “strength under control.” It embodies submission to God’s will, strength without harshness, and a gentle, teachable, and humble spirit. The sermon highlights how Moses, though called the meekest man on earth (Numbers 12:3), led a nation and stood against Pharaoh. This quality allows for a right relationship with God, where one trusts God’s way even when life doesn’t go as planned, responding with grace and humility rather than anger or pride.
The sermon applies these insights to the Christian life, emphasizing that God provides power when we are worried, proof when we are wandering in doubt, and a clear path when we are walking through life’s uncertainties. It encourages listeners to surrender their talents and abilities to the Lord, trusting that God can use what we have and will direct our steps. The ultimate lesson from Moses’ life is that God uses imperfect people for His perfect will, and we must trust Him completely, moving forward with confidence in His direction.
