Moses: Leader and Prophet
Moses, a leader and profit who was meek and dedicated to the Lord, teaches us through his life story that where you start is not where you end up, with God’s help, and failure is never final.

I don’t know what God has in store for you, and you won’t either until you purposefully and intentionally respond to His call. As Pastor Chuck Swindoll says, “Been resisting God’s call on your life? Don’t be afraid to follow. He leads you in love.”
When the Lord—from a burning bush—called Moses to be His prophet, the sheepherder initially resisted the call. Moses came up with a variety of excuses—the first of which shows that his perspective was completely out of whack.
From Exodus 2 and 3, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explains the backdrop of Moses’ encounter with God. Just when Moses became a nobody, God was readying him for greatness. God uses the desert experiences of our lives to teach us, to communicate with us, and to prepare us for His purposes.
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he applies lessons from Moses’ experience for every believer. The crux of Moses’ commissioning rested on God and His strength rather than on Moses’ ability. The same is true for you!
Pastor Chuck Swindoll brings listeners into Exodus 3 and 4 to stand next to Moses and grasp the gravity of his burning-bush call from God. While Moses’ objections seemed humble at first, they were rooted in fear—fear of his own inadequacy, of Pharaoh’s response, and even of the reaction of his own people.
In this message, we’ll meet an obscure, 80-year-old shepherd whose failure broke his spirit and left him feeling “over the hill” and washed up. Little did he know—he was on the verge of something great.
When God wants us in His service sometimes that means rearranging our priorities and putting our pursuits on hold.
God’s faithfulness is unconditional, unending, and unswerving. Even in the face of death. He is the eternal I AM, the sovereign Lord of the universe. And you can trust Him with your very life.
With every surprise and opportunity God also brings answers for our fears, objections, and defences. Here are four promises God’s answers offer us.
