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?

 

 

 

Song:  Holy Forever

Bible Passage and the Message:  Encounter

This message is the first in our new series and is from the 14th of September. 

If you have a Bible or Bible app to hand, please find Exodus chapter 4  before you start the video. 

Once again the Minister, Ellen Wild, brings the message.  The video starts with Sally reading the passage for today.

Click the filmstrip icon below to start watching the YouTube video.  It should start automatically about 52 minutes into the complete service. 

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

Our Own Prayers

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:  Same God

AI-generated content may be incorrect.I know this is the same song that they sang after last week’s sermon.  They clearly thought that it is worth repeating, and I agree.

Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the profound encounter Moses had with You where his limitations were met with Your infinite power.

Empower us to overcome fear with Your presence, to speak Your truth with grace, and to trust Your provision for the tasks You set before us, knowing that You are with us always.

Show us what is in our hands; help us to see that our story can be our voice to those who we meet; transform our weaknesses into instruments of Your glory.

We bring these prayers in Jesus’ name,

Amen.
