Audlem Baptist Church Online Service for the
9^th November 2025

Lessons In The Life Of Moses

This is the fourth service in a series of five.

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 a period of 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?

Song: God I Look To You

In this series I have tried to use the same hymns that were used in Chichester before and after the message. This week the opening song is a way of telling God that we look to Him to equip us to face life’s challenges.

Bible Passage and the Message: Equip

This message is the fourth in our new series and is from the 28^th of September.

If you have a Bible or Bible app to hand, please find Numbers chapter 13 before you start the video.

This week the minister Andy Morgan brings the message.

Click the filmstrip icon below to start watching the YouTube video. It should start automatically about 45 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..

You can adjust the YouTube settings using the controls at the bottom right of the screen. The gear wheel on the left adjusts the quality (480 may be enough) and the box frame on the right shows the video full screen.

Our Own Prayers

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: Build Your Kingdom Here

This is the same song that they sang after the sermon. The words take up the them that we are trusting God to build His Kingdom here – where we live.

A Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,
“Lord, we thank You for sending us out to explore the world and its opportunities, just as You sent the spies into Canaan. You have promised to be with us on our journey, and we trust in Your presence.”

We confess that sometimes we feel like grasshoppers, small and insignificant in the face of our challenges. We are tempted to spread fear and doubt instead of hope and courage, like the ten spies.

Give us the faith of Caleb, who looked at the obstacles but trusted in Your power to overcome them. Help us to believe Your Word is true, even when our senses tell us otherwise.

Grant us discernment to see Your plan, even when it is not immediately clear. Guide our steps, and help us to make decisions that are pleasing to You.

Fill us with boldness to move forward in faith and with a heart of obedience, not of unbelief. Equip us with everything good so we may do Your will and live fruitful lives

We pray that You would strengthen our faith and help us to live in the hope and promise of our true promised land. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 

Amen.
