Overcoming the Questions That Hold You Back
Are you afraid of what's coming next?
What does it look like when God breaks into an ordinary day and changes everything? That is the central question at the heart of this message, and the answer might surprise us. Using the story of Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3 and 4, we are invited to see ourselves in a man who had a complicated past, a quiet life, and no obvious reason to believe God could use him for anything extraordinary. Yet in the middle of a routine workday, everything shifted. The message draws out four honest questions Moses asked God, questions we still ask today. Who am I? Who are you? What if they do not believe me? And what if I have never done anything like this before? Each question points to a heart blockage that keeps us from fully stepping into what God has for us, whether that is condemnation, doubt, fear, or reluctance. The spiritual insight here is both simple and profound. God never answered Moses by talking about Moses. He answered by talking about himself. That reframes everything. Our calling, our confidence, and our capacity are not rooted in our own track record. They are rooted in who God is. As we reflect on these four questions, we are challenged to examine which one is keeping us from moving forward in faith.
Let us pray for you:
