Exodus 3:7-15
Dwain Tissell

Ex 3:7 The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.
Ex 3:8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey-the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
Ex 3:9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them.
Ex 3:10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." Exodus 3:7-10

1. GOD IS UP TO HIS GLORY BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET ANYTHING ELSE DONE THAT'S WORTH DOING.

Then his people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and his people- where is he who brought them through the sea, with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them, who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses' right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown... Isaiah 63:11-12


Ex 3:11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"
Ex 3:12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Exodus 3:11-12

2. TO GET IN ON GOD'S GLORY IN THIS MIDDLE TIME YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO GOD IS AND WHO YOU'RE NOT.

Ex 3:13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
Ex 3:14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.' " Exodus 3:13-14

Ex 3:15 God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob-has sent me to you.'
"This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. Exodus 3:15

3. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A PLAYER IN THE GLORIOUS MIDDLE-TIME YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO GOD IS & WHO YOURE NOT.

Ex 3:12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Exodus 3:12
