Welcome and Introduction

This series of sermons comes from Chichester Baptist Church and is from September and October this year.

 

The series title is Lessons in the Life of Moses.  Over the next five weeks we will look at key events in his life under the headings: Encounter, Enlist, Everyone, Equip and Empower.

 

Of course, with hindsight, we can see Moses as a giant of faith, but in his own lifetime he felt the same as us – inadequate and unprepared.  So what can we learn?

Bible Passage and the Message:  Everyone

This message is the first in our new series and is from the 21st of September. 

If you have a Bible or Bible app to hand, please find Exodus chapter 17  before you start the video. 

This week the minister Andy Morgan brings the message.  The video starts with Mikey reading the passage for today.

Click the filmstrip icon below to start watching the YouTube video.  It should start automatically about 48 minutes into the complete service. 

I suggest that you stop the video after Andy has finished  his closing prayer.  We will watch a video of the song that they then sang after our own prayers..

Our Own Prayers

A person holding a book AI-generated content may be incorrect.I realise that I use these words every week to guide your thoughts and I still think they are a helpful summary.

As you watched the message today was there a moment when you sensed the Holy Spirit speaking directly to you?  Then tell Jesus about it.  Or maybe you simply had a ‘lightbulb’ moment which you would like to thank God for.

Spend a few moments to thank God for all his goodness to you in the last week.

Spend a few minutes in confession.

Take a few minutes to pray for others who you feel burdened for.  If you have received the Church email, it will give you some suggestions.

Now spend a few moments praying for the fellowship of the church to which we belong and its witness to friends, family, neighbours, the young and the old, and to the wider world.

 

 

Song:  The Battle Belongs To You

A black and white image of a musical staff AI-generated content may be incorrect.This is the same song that they sang after the sermon and reminds us that life’s most important battle belongs to God and our strength depends on Jesus’ victory on the cross.

A Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,
We come to You today inspired by the lessons of the Bible passage today. We thank You that You are our banner, Jehovah Nissi, the one who fights our battles for us.

We acknowledge, like Moses, that victory does not come from our own strength, but from our reliance on You through prayer. Forgive us for the times we have tried to fight our spiritual battles in our own power or forgotten to call on You in times of crisis.

Lord, we recognize our human frailty and weariness, just as Moses' hands grew heavy. We thank You for the body of Christ and the importance of community. Help us to be Aarons and Hurs for one another, providing support and encouragement when our fellow believers grow weary. Make us a community that lifts each other up in prayer and practical help, bearing one another's burdens and so fulfilling Your law.

Help us to persist in prayer, to keep our hands and hearts lifted up to You, knowing that when we do, Your power is at work and we will prevail against the challenges we face.

In the coming week help us to remember Your faithfulness and to build altars of remembrance, praising You for the victories You have won in our lives. Keep us vigilant in our faith, trusting that You are always with us and that the ultimate victory is Yours through Jesus Christ, our Champion.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray,

Amen.
