This is the
second service in a series of five.


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?
In this series I have tried to use
the same hymns that were used in Chichester before and after the message. This week the song reminds us that the God of
the patriarchs is our God and he is Holy Forever.

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..

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.
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.
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.
