Before teaching this story it\u2019s really important to go back and read exodus 3 and 4. This is a story where the board is set and everything prepared, it\u2019s a story of ignition in more ways than one, it\u2019s a story of God\u2019s timing not our own, and a story of a master plan greater than the Hebrews, or even Moses, imagined.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMain Passage : Exodus 3-4<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/>\nMoses had been wandering around with the sheep, not following any real path. He was on the edge of the mountain of God when he\u2019d seen the bush. It had confused him. How could the bush be on fire but not burning. Then he had heard a voice, a voice so familiar and yet he didn\u2019t know it at all.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u201cMoses Moses\u201d came the voice and as Moses moved closer again it came \u201ctake off your shoes, this is holy ground!\u201d<br \/>\nGod introduced himself then, the God that Moses had learnt of, the God of Abraham, of Isaac and Jacob, the God of his people. Moses knew people had started to whisper, started to doubt, started to wonder why their God left them as slaves. And here he was, not talking to one of them but to Moses, the runaway, Moses the failed Egyptian and the failed Hebrew too. And then God said the words every Hebrew had longed to hear, the words they thought may never come, He said he saw how they suffered, he said a plan was coming, he said the time had come for then to be free. And not just free, more than free, a people with a land and a beautiful land flowing with milk and honey and every good thing. And his big plan was&#8230; Moses.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u201cNo way, wrong guy, no no no\u201d said Moses. \u201cthe Hebrews won\u2019t believe me, I mean I\u2019m not really one of them, perhaps I was born that way but I\u2019m 80, I\u2019ve never lived as they do, nope, sorry God but I\u2019m the wrong one\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThis is what to say to the Hebrews\u201d replied God, and he gave Moses a script, \u201cthis is what to say to the Pharaoh too&#8230;\u201d he added and then \u201cI should warn you, it\u2019s going to be tough, but I\u2019m going to convince them through you, and when you leave the Egyptians will shower you with gifts for your journey\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u201cBut they won\u2019t believe me\u201d, shouted Moses, \u201cwhy should they even listen\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey will listen\u201d replied God \u201cAnd, if they doubt I\u2019ll give you amazing signs to show them, miracles from heaven, I\u2019ll turn your stick into a snake, go on, test it out\u201d Moses threw his stick on the floor and ran back as it became a snake, \u201cgrab it\u2019s tail\u201d came God\u2019s voice and as soon as Moses touched the snake it became a stick again. God gave Moses 2 more signs but still it was not enough for him<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u201cLord, please, I\u2019m not good at speaking, I\u2019m slow and I stutter and I mumble and&#8230;\u201d<br \/>\nGod was getting frustrated, Could Moses really think a little stutter would stop God\u2019s plan, God who had created Moses, created mouths, formed words long before anyone could speak. \u201cPlease lord, please, send someone else\u201d Moses begged. God looked at the shaking man before the fiery bush. He was foolish or very brave, arguing with God, but God took pity. I\u2019ll send your big brother, Aaron, to meet you, he can walk this path with you so you are not alone. And then the fire was gone and the bush seemed just a tangle of branches and leaves.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGod sat up in heaven and sighed at Moses. Couldn\u2019t he see the way He had prepared him? God had been putting the different pieces together for years. He had saved Moses from the river. God had given him a safe house to grow up in and knowledge of not only the Egyptians but the Pharaoh. Moses knew the way they cared, the way they fought, the way they judged things to be true.  God had sadly known the way Moses real family was treated would eventually break him. He had kept him safe from the Pharaoh when Moses did things wrong, kept him safe as he ran away and had lead him to Jethro and his daughters home. He watched over Moses for years, waiting for the time that it was safe to send him back, waiting for the time the plan could start and God\u2019s people could be free.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nA few days later Moses left the sheep with his father in law Jethro, he packed up a donkey with a tent and supplies for the journey. Then Moses, his son, and Zipphorah, his wife headed back towards Egypt.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Today\u2019s hero is Moses because he shows us the gift of a plan<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If you want the teachers page then please click on the image for the pdf.
