God doesn't need your ability—He needs your availability. Moses asked, "Who am I?" God's answer: It's not about you—it's about Who I AM. God is patient with your fears. When Moses said, "They won't believe me," God gave signs—not lectures. He knows we're dust. Don't let discouragement turn into faithlessness. Moses went from "I can't" to "God, You made a mistake." That's where God's patience gave way to chastening. You don't have to convince people—the Holy Spirit does. Your job is to speak truth. His job is to convict. Don't forfeit your blessing. When Moses refused, God used Aaron instead. Don't let fear cause you to miss what God wants to do through YOU. Yielded + Usable = God's power on display.

Guest speaker Matt Coker shares a practical and encouraging message about trusting God with what you already have—even when your faith, confidence, abilities, or progress feel incomplete. Drawing from Moses, Gideon, the feeding of the five thousand, and other biblical examples, Matt explains how fear and perfectionism can disguise themselves as wisdom and keep us from obeying God.

Exodus 4:18-31 03/05/26am by Cloughmills RP Church
God calls Moses to proclaim deliverance, yet meets his doubt with patient provision, giving signs, a spokesman, and a clear summons to obedience. The signs He performs reveal His power over all, foreshadowing the coming plagues and declaring that He alone blesses, judges, and saves. God also makes clear His sovereign rule, even over Pharaoh's heart, while calling Israel His firstborn son and demanding their release. Through the sobering scene of blood and covenant, ultimately pointing to Christ, we see that deliverance comes by God's provision of a substitute, where He gives His own Son so that His people might be spared and brought to worship.
As Moses prepares to make his way back to Egypt, he has four strange interactions. None of them really make much sense on their own, but together they paint a picture of things to come. | Exodus | Series: Going Home the Long Way (Exodus)

Garen Forsythe | Sunday 02-22-2026 | The Story of the Old Testament - Exodus - Exodus 4-14 by TABC
At a lodging place on the way the LORD met him and sought to put him to death. Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!” So he let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.The LORD said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD with which he had sent him to speak, and all the signs that he had commanded him to do. Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. Aaron spoke all the words that the LORD had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Pastor Jared Richard opened his sermon with the story of 19th century missionary John G. Paton, who faced tremendous persecution and personal loss while ministering to cannibalistic tribes in the New Hebrides Islands. This illustration set up the central question: "What happens when you obey God and things go terribly wrong?" Drawing from Exodus 4-7, Pastor Richard showed how Moses experienced this same dilemma when his initial success with the Israelites was met with fierce resistance from Pharaoh, who made their slavery even harsher. The sermon outlined three key lessons from Moses' experience. First, difficulty often follows faithfulness because we're engaged in spiritual warfare against powers opposed to God's kingdom. Second, difficulty always refines God's servants - God uses these moments to build our trust and dependence on Him rather than allowing circumstances to define us. Third, difficulty leads us back to God's promises, as seen in Exodus 6:1-8 where God reassures Moses of His presence and power. Pastor Richard emphasized that God's "I will" statements in this passage show that the work of deliverance depends on God's power, not our adequacy. The sermon concluded with Paton's eventual success when he returned to the islands, leading to widespread conversion, and an invitation to the Lord's Supper as a reminder of God's promises to sustain us through hardship.

Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.” And the LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.” So Moses took his wife and his sons and had them ride on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.And the LORD said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son, and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.'”

Then Moses answered, “But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you.'” The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.” And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it. But the LORD said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand— “that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” Again, the LORD said to him, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow. Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your cloak.” So he put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh. “If they will not believe you,” God said, “or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign. If they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and the water that you shall take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground.”But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him. And take in your hand this staff, with which you shall do the signs.”
5.1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'” 2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” 3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” 4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your burdens.” 5 And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens!” 6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen, 7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God.' 9 Let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to lying words.”10 So the taskmasters and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I will not give you straw. 11 Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced in the least.'” 12 So the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 13 The taskmasters were urgent, saying, “Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.” 14 And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”15 Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, “Why do you treat your servants like this? 16 No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!' And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.” 17 But he said, “You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.' 18 Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.” 19 The foremen of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said, “You shall by no means reduce your number of bricks, your daily task each day.” 20 They met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh; 21 and they said to them, “The Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”22 Then Moses turned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”

Our obedience to God doesn’t necessarily guarantee that things in our life won’t go wrong, or that we won’t fail. And yet, that’s a hard pill to swallow—if we’re obeying God, surely everything will fall into place, right? In this week’s message from Exodus 4–6, Pastor J.D. shows us how Moses faced this very struggle in his first confrontation with Pharaoh. Ultimately, God allowed Moses to fail not because he was cruel, but as a demonstration of his saving power and unmatched glory.
