Today we begin a brand-new message series on the life of Moses. Moses’ life gives us great lessons on leadership and faith. God used Moses to lead his people out of the slavery of Egypt. He used Moses to bring the people into a relationship with him and deliver the law. Moses was able to speak to God as a friend. And yet Moses was a flawed person. He didn’t easily embrace God’s call and he made mistakes throughout his leadership.
The stories in the bible are not about relationships God had with people long ago, but no longer has. They are models for us to follow. As a flawed people, we can learn a great deal through the life of Moses. We face many of the same struggles and obstacles he did – both outwardly and inwardly.
Pray today that over the next seven weeks you can learn from Moses and apply the lessons of his life to yours.
